Jazz vol.1: Episiode 1-3: A film by Ken Burns

In Jazz the story, sound and soul of this unique art of Jazz music come together - from its roots in the 19th century up to today. Produced by the acclaimed film maker Ken Burns, this impressive twelve-hour documentary took over six years to be accomplished and involved costs of more then US13,000,000!
Jazz celebrates the American art form's soaring achievements from its origins in blues and ragtime to swing, bebop and fusion. Hundreds of rare or never before seen film clips and stills as well as exclusive interviews with musicians, critics and historians are combined - with the sublime sounds of Jazz classics - to create this expressive monument of music history.
Burns unfolds the story of Jazz music as well through its big names - Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Chick Webb and Wynton Marsalis - as through dozens of less well known artists whose talent and creativity helped to shape the course of a true musical - and at the time social - revolution.

Jazz - A Film By Ken Burns Vol

Jazz begint rond 1890 in New Orleans waar de straten bol staan van diverse muziekuitingen: van fanfare, Italiaanse opera, Caribische muziek tot minstreelshows. Clandestiene kroegen, bakvissen en geld: de geschiedenis van de jazz begint in twee grote steden: Chicago en New York en met twee buitengewone artiesten die bijna driekwart eeuw de jazzwereld vertegenwoordigde: Louis Armstrong en Duke Ellington.
