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...

In The Spirit Of Black History Month Celebration

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: A 10-episode series that anybody who is serious about their American heritage should watch. You'll get a full packet..
Review: History can be boring for some, but Ken Burns's brilliance helps illuminate the dark, past times of the history of the United States of America. In what he terms the American Trilogy, Ken Burns deals with moments and historic themes that most...

Jazz gets most, but not all, of its due

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you're new to jazz or are a lapsed jazz lover, this is for you. For hardcore jazz fans, you'll probably be disappointed.
Review: I was excited when I first heard that Ken Burns was doing a documentary on jazz. I've viewed "The Civil War" more times than I can count, and still consider it to be the single greatest achievement in television history. I was somewhat less...

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: I plan on owning the collection and would recommend it to any jazz fan with the caveat that it isn't a "definitive history" of the music.
Review: From the moment I heard this was being broadcast on PBS I began salivating. As a fan (and wannabe performer) of certain jazz "genres" (specifically be-bop, acid and free), I was interested in seeing how this music form evolved from the Bordellos of...
