pjw, I'm curious about defining the "golden age of jazz from 1935 through 1965"? Is that your framework or someone else's?
I ask because I have a different perspective. Perhaps not "golden age" but for me the real beginning of modern jazz begins in the late 1920s with Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings. There was more foundation in the late 30s with Hawkins, Ellington, Basie, Goodman, etc. But that was interrupted until after WW2 when Parker, Gillespie and BeBop emerged. Any sort of "golden age" was not carried forward by Glen Miller and the like. That term to me suggests a continuous time period of creative development.
With that I see the "golden age" for jazz running from 1946 or 7 to around 1965. Or maybe I'm simply defining the period I like best and consider to be the most influential? No offense if you see it differently.
Never having been a boxing fan I can't comment on that aspect.
