Jazz suffered a setback during pro hibition but upon repeal it again became popular. Present day jazz musicians are usually found in the larger orches tras as side men but the old-time jazz combination of six or seven players has evolved into the small swing combos found in modern or chestras. •the distribution of the 1947 Ore ganas today.
