Jazz: A Film by Ken Burns

This 19-hour series explores the evolution of America’s greatest original art form, focusing on the men and women who could do something remarkable: create art on the spot. Jazz celebrates their music in the context of the complicated country that gave birth to and influenced it, and was in turn transformed by it. This film traces the history of the rise of records, radio, and television, as well as the sufferings of the Great Depression, the nation’s sacrifices during two world wars, and our long struggle over civil rights.
