From the Paper:
"In July of 1955 the Atlantic Monthly published a lengthy essay in which the author, Arnold Sundgaard, discusses the position of jazz in the 1950s as both a distinctive art form and a mirror for socio-cultural activity. In his exposition, Sundgaard notes that above all else jazz seems to thrive on endless exploration and ceaseless discovery, that it is at its core the expression of some very enduring opposites: freedom and form, responsibility and surrender, exuberance and pain (Sundgaard). It is not surprising then that at the time of Sundgaard's writing, two of the prevailing popular jazz styles, "cool jazz" and "hard bop", were in many regards opposite by nature.
