Watched Ken Burns Jazz on tv earlier this year. PBS ran it over about 10 weeks.
Interesting stuff. I knew most of the players already, but not all. Had music by a lot of them already.
And now I have about 30 new CDs of them.
The film begins approx 1900 and runs to about 1975. I missed the first episode, so I didn't hear that earliest part.
Weeks later, I couldn't tell you much about the details, but good music.
New Stuff: Basie, Parker, Gillespie, Duke, Miles, Monk...other assortments. Good stuff, should have had some of this before.
