Jazz | A Note from Ken Burns | Ken Burns - 1 views

  • They're the three most beautiful things Americans have ever created.
    • s61white
       
      Jazz is one of the greatest things Americans will be remembered for? That is a pretty weighty statement/
  • Jazz has offered a precise prism through which so much of American history can be seen — it is a curious and unusually objective witness to the 20th Century. It is the story of two world wars and a devastating Depression — the soundtrack that helped Americans get through the worst of times.
  • nd Jazz is also a story about race and race relations and prejudice, about minstrelsy and Jim Crow, lynchings and civil rights. Jazz explores the uniquely American paradox that our greatest art form was created by those who have had the peculiar experience of being unfree in our supposedly free land
    • s61white
       
      I tend to agree with this statement. So much of the jazz idioms are also found in the gospel music of African churches.
