The Best of Ken Burns Jazz -
List Price: $11.98
Amazon Price: $2.79
Used Price: $0.01
| Ken Burns, America's premier documentary filmmaker, scores another hit with his landmark 10-part, 19-hour PBS documentary, Jazz. This sampler is a smaller version of the accompanying five-CD box set, with 22 selections spanning the music's many styles: from Benny Goodman's 1938 classic rendition of "King Porter Stomp" to John Coltrane's immortal "Giant Steps." Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan form a sweeping spectrum of jazz singing with their varying styles. Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker's "Groovin' High," Thelonious Monk's riff blues "'Straight, No Chaser," and Miles Davis's modal masterpiece "So What" are among the music's "greatest hits" compiled here. Louis Armstrong's down-home treatment of Hoagy Carmichael's "Star Dust" and Duke Ellington's rousing "Cotton Tail" show why they are the alpha and the omega of this music. Although the documentary and the sampler omit the avant-garde and Latin jazz, this is, overall, good one-stop shopping for those just getting in the groove. --Eugene Holley Jr.
