Antedating of "Jazz" as Verb

[Wilson Gray]

I've been thinking about getting a copy, myself. Its constant use by
the PM Co. might have soured me on it. But, now that I'm a senior
citizen, it reminds me of the good old days. Well, they weren't
necessarily good. But, as the ancient Greeks are supposed to have been
the first to note:

"All days are good, when they're old."
