Citation style[edit]

A long time ago now, User:Thumperward placed an "unclear citation style" banner on this article. I have sought in vain the expected discussion on this Talk page. Has this problem now been addressed, or not? I see nothing unclear about the citation style, though I would personally prefer an article of this scope would have an alphabetical list of references.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 19:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mean to be nasty, but...[edit]

This article says nearly nothing really, and what it does say is wrong. My guess is the author has very little experience listening to the music of the period, and has avoided listening to recorded by white musicians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.174 (talk) 21:39, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
