It has always been a problem to decide whether "popular music" is music which represents the people or is simply music that the people like. The same problem of{{U}} (26) {{/U}}exists with jazz. So many different{{U}} (27) {{/U}}of music have been called jazz at one time or another that it is hard to say what{{U}} (28) {{/U}}it is. Jazz has always been considered tobe black music{{U}} (29) {{/U}}when I first{{U}} (30) {{/U}}an interest in it twenty years ago, I used to hear white{{U}} (31) {{/U}} playing music that was like LouisArmstrong’s in the 1920s. I found out afterwards that they learnt to do this by playingArmstrong’s records over and over again until their style was close enough to his{{U}} (32) {{/U}}for them to imitate him.
Since then white singers likeBobDylan have rediscovered{{U}} (33) {{/U}}own folk tradition, instead of{{U}} (34) {{/U}}from black roots.But the main{{U}} (35) {{/U}}since 1960 have been social and technical. One is that young people have more{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to spend on records at an earlier age than they used to, so Tin PanAlley, the ’pop’ music industry, aims at the teenage audience. {{U}} (37) {{/U}}is that electronic equipment has developed to such an{{U}} (38) {{/U}}that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to{{U}} (39) {{/U}}recordings that are quite different from a live{{U}} (40) {{/U}}.
But the real{{U}} (41) {{/U}}with ’pop’ musis is that Tin PanAlley has always worked against its being a{{U}} (42) {{/U}}music of the people. It takes everything original and natural out of it and{{U}} (43) {{/U}}it with cheap commercial imitations.{{U}} (44) {{/U}}theAmerican folk singer, Woody Guthrie, said: "They’ve always{{U}} (45) {{/U}}the second-rate songs. They’ve never wanted to play the good ones."
