Ken Burns Jazz video box set
Ken Burns Jazz is the latest documentary masterpiece from Ken Burns, director of The American Civil War and The West.
Ken Burns JAZZ is a documentary series that celebrates America's greatest original art form, a music whose improvisational spirit perfectly reflects the nation that gave it birth.
It is the first television series ever to tell the story of jazz.
- Beginning with the birth of jazz at the dawn of the Twentieth Century, the film incorporates the wide range of American culture and historical events that interact directly with the music: among them
- the harsh racial polarization of the 1890s;
- the artistic and political ferment of the Harlem Renaissance;
- the exuberance of the Jazz Age;
- the Great Depression and the New Deal;
- the Second World War;
- the emergence of a youth culture in the 1950s and 1960s;
- the hope, anger, and expectations of the civil rights movement;
- and the search for identity and authenticity in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
