And All that Jazz
Review by Jo A. on 06/05/22 review stating And All that Jazz
Ken Burns Jazz is a compelling and all-encompassing documentary of the iconic music style through the ages. Done in the style he developed, it features priceless interviews, commentaries, and performances. It also documents the historical triumphs and indignities of the jazz musicians themselves.

Review by Grace on 05/17/22 review stating Ken Burns Jazz
Mr. Burns is the best contemporary filmmaker we have. I purchased this series as a gift for a person who loves jazz but has had little access to the great music of the last century.This film has captured the soul of that great music form in a way that embodies the history and the performances of the truly great!

Review by Zack on 04/07/21 review stating Thanks Ken Burns and PBS
I remember when this wonderful series was first aired back in 2001 and I never missed one episode. It truly changed my life and openened my mind and ears to a whole new Universe. Fifteen years later, I lost count in how many times I watched the episodes. Its a masterpiece and Ken Burns earned my admiration since then. Each School and Public Library here in USA should have a copy of this documentary, to allow the young generations to better know about this wonderful music and amazing artists. Jazz is about all of us.

Better git it in your soul
Review by Mel D. review stating Better git it in your soul
My quoting Charles Mingus in my title does betray a sense of desperation. We need ten more episodes of JAZZ. This is obviously the most exhaustive historical treatment of this music to date, and yet it leaves me begging for more. And now to quote William Count Basie, Lets try it one more once! Please, Mr. Burns, please?!
