This is a great interview with Ken Burns and Wynton Marsalis on the making of the 'Jazz' series. It's great to hear them both discuss something that is beyond words. The history of jazz is full of great characters that are woven within the fabric of American life in the 20th century. If you haven't seen this series, you really should do yourself a favor and check it out.
My only problem with this interview is Burn's contention that Jazz is America's only self invented musical artform. What about Native American music? RR
