Great stuff. Hermann Hesse’s Harry Haller (in Steppenwolf from 1927) also expresses a very jaundiced view of jazz (and many other such advances as radios and phonographs) as he works through his middle aged reawakening (individuation). I am often reminded of Harry and Pablo, the horn player from the book, when I read about jazz.

Harry Haller underwent a transformation. i.e. individuation.
