[Dixielandjazz] Vicious Attack

[David Palmquist]

The heyday of jazz would be the period between the world wars, I 
think.  From dixieland through swing, but excluding the bop era.

I'm roughly the same age as you.  When I say it was never superpopular, 
it's based on the reactions of people I speak with who grew up in the 
thirties.  Often they don't seem to have much respect for jazz, but on the 
other hand, the people of that age I know are generally from somewhat 
conservative backgrounds.
