How Jazz and Rock and Roll Came to Be Seen As Completely Separate Genres
Episode 23
Published 4 years, 5 months ago
Description
Host Nate Wilcox asks Matt about the role of music magazines such as Downbeat and Rolling Stone in the creation of a strict separation between the genres of jazz and rock which were so closely related that in 1955 Duke Ellington called rock & roll “the most raucous form of jazz, beyond a doubt.”
