Weintraub Syncopators
- Hans Siemens 1921
The German schoolmaster cannot dance it. The Prussian reserve officercannot dance it. If only all ministers and councilors and professors and politicians were obliged to dance jazz, even now and again publicly! In what ajoyous way would they be stripped of their entire honor! How human, how nice, how comical would they have to become! No atmosphereof stupidity, vanity, and grandeur could form. If the Kaiser haddanced jazz—all that would never have happened! But no! He could neverhave learned it. Being German Kaiser is easier than dancing jazz.
Controversy
- Devil's music - Different concepts and values- Racism and antisemitism - In 1933 Nazis take over and ban Jazz music --> Jazz seen as "Alien music"
