It was interesting to read about how popular media in the form of critical music magazines had an influence on the perception of race in jazz music. You did a great job incorporating the readings and quotes. Your blog has a nice flow to it and I think you make an interesting point that race has always been an issue since the beginning of jazz but that the general public was not aware of this phenomena until the 1930s. I wrote about the racial discourse in a similar way saying that the Swing Era introduced black culture and the race question to the general mainstream public which was predominantly white. Overall I think you did a good job at analyzing the topic and supporting your point that you mentioned in your opening paragraph.
