What Adorno was listening to in Germany we'd hardly recognize as Jazz.
Hyper-inflation in post-war Germany had generally kept America bands and
recordings out of the country, except for a quick appearance by Sam
Wooding's Orchestra as part of the "Chocolate Kiddies'" review.  Wooding
was cut from the James Reese Europe school of "jazz" music, which had
more to do with Vernon and Irene Castle than King Oliver.

If you give a listen to Dajos Bela, or the Erik Wenskat-Ochester, you'll
find the music to be largely the gypsy influenced pop music of the day
with the lead violin traded in for a saxophone...

Best,

Tad
