Thread Name: JAZZ-Ken Burns 10 part Series-2001
Subject: 'JAZZ'-Ken Burns10partSeries-THIS WEEK
Ken Burns, from all reports, has done it again. If you've been following the PBS publicity you'll already know his latest series, which ought to appeal to a lot of 'Catters, starts this week.

The JAZZ series is done in typical Burns fashion and promises the same great coverage that the "Civil War" and "Baseball" did in the past. I remember thinking that the baseball thing would get kinda' dry with 18 parts, but I watched them all and wanted more. The CW series is already classic viewing. Music has always been an integral part of the Ken Burns productions and this one is ABOUT music so I'm expecting great things.

As a reed player, I was into jazz long before I came to folk and I still enjoy the genre. You can check out the PBS info for yourself......CLICK HERE
