Product Description

 
For the third part of his American Trilogy--following THE CIVIL WAR and BASEBALL--Ken Burns takes on "that most American of art forms": jazz. The 10-part, 19-hour film begins with the music's roots in post-Civil War New Orleans and concludes roughly a century later. The story focuses not only on the personalities and events that helped define the music but also on the social and cultural climate in which they emerged, making KEN BURNS' JAZZ a film about more than just music.

Jazz: A Film by Ken Burns: History, Music and Message in 19 Hours or So

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Everyone will learn something about jazz music and the history of this country in the 20th century in the beautifully made documentary.
Review: Ken Burns has become the leading maker of documentaries in this country in the last twenty years. After viewing his series on Baseball, I knew by a quote at the beginning of that documentary that he would turn his head toward jazz music eventually...

Ken Burns' Jazz: Jazz 101 and Beyond

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Wonderful historical account of Jazz in America for beginners, and long time collectors.
Review: Ken Burns' Jazz 10-part documentary, currently airing on PBS stations nationwide, has kept me glued to my seat for the each of the entire 2- to 1 1/2-hour episodes. As a jazz collector since I was 15 years old (nearly 30 years), I recommend the...

Jazz by Ken Burns and PBS-Midterm

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Beautiful music, beautiful photos and beautiful people fill this 19 hour masterpiece of a show.
Review: I wrote a preview to this show based on what little a could find in my local paper and my knowledge of Burn's too previous works: The Civil War and Baseball. These were works of art based on love.

Burns does it again with "Jazz". I am a 54...
