There were no wild cheers, no stomping, no whistles-just a steady, heartfelt applause. Jazz was growing more mature, and so was the audience. When a pair of teen-agers started whooping it up over a Brubeck rendition, yipping "Go man, go!", a well-dressed young Negro sitting in front of them turned and snapped: "Have some respect, won't you, please...
