[78-L] Popular or good? [was delete]

[Kristjan Saag]

My late cousin used to say:
Popular music was never as good as in the 1920's and 1930's (he even 
mentioned the 1940's), because it was closely linked to jazz, which 
meant more interesting beats and highly inventive musicians; jazz, in 
turn, was linked to big orchestras which sometimes meant even better 
musicians and definitely top arrangers, many of them classically 
trained. Add to that the golden era of Tin Pan Alley: you also had the 
best songwriters.
You need not agree with him or me.
