See, I'm thinking the 1920's was where it was at...between World Wars, pre-Prohibition (of ALL kinds not just alcohol), some of the greatest artists were still alive (some in their pomp like Picasso), Jazz was at it's peak with BRILLIANT musicians Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Benny Goodman, Bessie Smith, Count Bassie, Coleman Hawkins, The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, The New Orleans Rhythm Kings. You had movies that were just starting to get big, Hollywood was up and coming, and The Great Man W.C. Fields was in his prime!
.
Uh...you took music class to another level, so I'd have to re-state my position!! In my life time the 70s was the era.
1920s....their rhythm, pulse: unmatched.their use of scales and modes....mastery.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
