| Summary |
A celebration of America's greatest original art form. Ken Burns' 10-part documentary series opens at the dawn of the 20th century, incorporating American culture and historical events that interact directly with the music. From the 1890s through the ferment of the Harlem Renaissance and the Jazz Age, to the Great Depression, New Deal, Second World War, and beyond, JAZZ paints an astounding portrait of a nation and its improvisational core of music. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and Keith David and featuring performances by legends like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. JAZZ was nominated for five **Primetime Emmy Awards** including Outstanding Non-Fiction Series. |
