“Jazz seemed like a naturally gregarious force--one that was a little unruly and prone to say the first thing that popped into its head, but generally of good humour and friendly intent. In addition, it seemed decidedly unconcerned with where it had been or where it was going--exhibiting somehow simultaneously the confidence of the master and the inexperience of the apprentice. Was there any wonder that such an art had failed to originate in Europe?”
