    not to be a pessimist, but i read the description to every part of this
    series, and, being a pretty serious jazz head, honestly expect the worst.
    it looks like mr. burns decided to spend a grand total of two hours on
    jazz from 1961-present, as opposed to entire probably 8-10 hours on louis
    armstrong alone. not to disrespect his music ... but i didn't see any
    mention of coltrane, ornette, cecil taylor, sun ra, very little mention
    of thelonious, mingus,
    parker, etc., so i think this one is going to be a little lopsided ..

    two hours for the most intense forty years of jazz?? i'm going to have to
    see it ...

    peace.
