Thanks for the post. I notice that things come full circle: we're discussing Adorno, and remember that in the Broder article we translated a Swiss academic said that not only did the attack on America occur on September 11, but that September 11 was also Adorno's birthday. He said that he and his friends prefer to celebrate it that way and that in the future the world will realize that Adorno's birth was the more important event.
Since I went to college in America in the 90s, I've been forced to read more Adorno than I would ever have voluntarily read - but I've never read his essay on jazz. I'm a big jazz fan, and I'd like to hear more about his, presumably stupid, anti-jazz comments.
