The winner was one Esther Whitefield, 2334 Glen Green, Hollywood 28, California. I guess that, if she's still with us, she lives elsewhere. Her suggested alternative name for jazz was crewcut. Esther's reasoning was that crewcut was the exact opposite to longhair which was the name given at the time to classical musicians. I suppose that these days the opposite could be applied!

What's in a name?
The winner was one Esther Whitefield, 2334 Glen Green, Hollywood 28, California. I guess that, if she's still with us, she lives elsewhere. Her suggested alternative name for jazz was crewcut. Esther's reasoning was that crewcut was the exact opposite to longhair which was the name given at the time to classical musicians. I suppose that these days the opposite could be applied!

Remind me, who was it who said 'If you have to ask what jazz is' etc? Jazz is the perfect word to describe 'our music'. Mouldy old figs use the phrase 'our music' to retain ownership, refusing to admit newcomers unless they're onboard. Quite right too, Arts Council supports all sorts of quasi-jazz!
Wayne Shorter recently said ' I dare you' but that's three words so how about 'Progressive'(Russell)?
