<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">The Ken Burns series on Jazz, by all accounts, has some distortions and has<BR>
omitted various artists that contributed greatly to developing the wonderful<BR>
world of "JAZZ".<BR>
<BR>
I would suggest that we be a little more objective and relish the old clips<BR>
and sound tracks presented as I found them to be most interesting. Ken Burns<BR>
might not have captured the complete essence of "JAZZ", but no one else has<BR>
even tried, so for that I give him a big "thanks".<BR>

Sorry, Dave:<BR>
<BR>
There are too many aspersions, slanderous remarks, innuendos, lies distortions and omissions to just dismiss all of this in order to 'relish the old clips.' the Ken Burns series belongs in the garbage.<BR>
