Critics of Adorno’s critique of jazz have often alluded to his inherent elitism leading to his dismissal of jazz. I argue here that critics of Adorno’s essays on jazz are mistaken since they fail to read his critique properly through the lens of his entire social and aesthetic theory. I will argue here that Adorno’s emphasis on the formal dimensions of art works is the only way to begin to understand his critique.
