Jazz Flayed
TIME Archives, Monday, Sep.20, 1926
At present jazz is not an art but an industry, the whirring of a standardized machine endlessly turning out a standardized article... The thing is already dead from the neck up. That it will remain popular for some time among the musical illiterate is quite possible and if the dancers like it there is no reason why they should not have it. But the day has gone by when musicians can even take a languid interest in the thing, for musical people it is now the last word in brainlessness and boredom.
