Acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns (who produced The Civil War and Baseball) presents the ultimate epic celebration of the music that defines America-from its humble origins in blues and ragtime through its evolution into swing, bebop and fusion. The richest, most definitive film on jazz ever made, this remarkable collection contains 75 interviews, over 500 pieces of recorded music, 2400 still photographs and over 2000 historic film clips, many rare or never before seen.
Highly recommended for the aficionado as well as the jazz novice, and its wealth of material will enrich all ages who wish to explore the heritage of our most uniquely American music.
