BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 13.—Jazz music is in for the big reform. The Otto . Kabn millions—or at least & part of them—are behind the movement. If all goes well, today’s jazz will be replaced by ‘“American symphonic syncopation.” Roger Wolff Kahn, youngest son of the famous banker and chairman of the Metropolitan Opera Company, has invented the new name for it, and he §s going to devote his life to the cle- ~ation of the saxophone and its play- mates. Ar. Kahn, senior, recently forbade his son to play his saxophone in pub- lic or to make any public appear- ances with the Roger Wolff Orches- 1ra, of which he is both patron and member. But Monday night, while iather Kahn was busy elsewhere and ~while the worst storm in twenty years swept the metropolis. young Kahn made his deferred debut. Won Father Over. It is believed now that young Kahn won his father over because of his high wims for jazz. Mr. Kahn has said before that he was glad his son was taking an interest in music and that he felt something really Ameri- can could be developed from the mu- sical expression now known as jazs. So that is the thieme young Kahn is to_proceed upon. Young Kahn i3 just as serious in his effort to elevaie jazz as his dis- tinguished father has been in the devciopment of grand opera in this yountry. He belives jazz the best medium. for educating musical taste Fline Pasl Wh Jike Pau iteman, young Kah ecls that the musical taste can be ~levated by bringing the olassics into ®ynoopated arrangementa.
