Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.
There was a period which I refer to as the 'Golden Age of Jazz,' which sort of encompasses the middle Thirties through the Sixties, we had a lot of great innovators, all creating things which will last the world for a long, long time.
I was totally into jazz in my teens.
Jazz celebrates older generations and not just the youth movement. When you 'sell' only to people of a certain age, you get cut off from the main body of experience.
By and large, jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with.
One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.
My first love of jazz came from joining the Chilliwack Middle School band - it was like an 18-piece jazz band, and I wanted to join just because the older kids looked like they were having so much fun.
Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.
There is an apprenticeship system in jazz. You teach the young ones. So even if the musicians weren't personally that likable, they felt an obligation to help the younger musicians.
Jazz in the 1920s and '30s was dance music, teenage music for parties, for being wild and young. There's this punk feeling I really love. It was something so radical and different and new and not codified. People didn't have a definition of what they were doing.
