[Dixielandjazz] Ken Burns' Jazz

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

To my mind, the best thing to come out of the Ken Burns Jazz saga is the 5 
CD set entitled "Ken Burns Jazz."

If you're more interested in the music than in the history (which is pretty 
familiar to all of us in the DJML) you'll like the CD set. The video can be 
pretty frustrating to true jazz buffs.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill Gunter
