Faulkner claims that jazz is linked to ‘un-corseted bodies and sloppy workmen.’ Jazz music doesn’t have the structure of classical music and as a result society has lost its structure. While the excerpt doesn’t support Faulkner’s views, it does acknowledge that one of the article’s messages is an important one-- music challenges social values.
