Jazz (Jazzers Jazzing) by Carl L. Hager
On a night very much like this one, 83 years ago, jazz came to the rescue of Western Civilization. Big Band leader Guy Lombardo arrived right on time and brought in the new year with his lightly swinging rendition of “Auld Lang Syne," a traditional Scots song that poet Robert Burns used as the basis of his 1788 poem of the same name.

Anyway, at that point I had read an article ...
