<<HI Hans.  Im sorry to tell you that the remarkable thing about Ken Burns 
Jazz Series is the very distorted history of jazz that Burns presents.  This 
series is loaded with distortions about Jazz and their are very serious 
omissions. >>

Hans,

Now you must be really confused!!! Watch - enjoy the bits you like and then 
make up your own mind!

Incidently both versions of the series have been shown on TV in the UK but 
only a strangely edited version on the terrestial channel.

Cheers,
