A Tear Shed For Our Old Buddy Jazz :’c

While reading “Seduced by ‘Perfect’ Pitch: How Auto-Tune Conquered Pop Music” by lessley Anderson I came to a realization of just how far music and technology have come. Many genres have been left in the dust but none so prominently as Jazz.

Jazz has disappeared from the world of American pop-culture as modern examples of media such as cartoons and music have taken precedence while the classics have been left in the dust.

I grew up with Jazz in the sense that many Golden-Age American cartoons (1920s-1960s) were around when I was a child, that Golden-Age of American culture always captivated my imagination from the cars to the style of dress to the Mid-Atlantic accents and Art-Deco architecture. Jazz however is what slways really captivated my imagination as its sound is what conjures up this era of American prosperity and ingenuity.
