burns series was for jazz beginners, didnt pretend to be anything but.
and in response to the series, i have overheard conversations on jazz
from many unlikely corners - local television talking about the jazz
scene in the community (chicago), jazz cd displays up in the front of
music shops like virgin, tower, borders - selling much jazz.
and that's very cool.
you know there's gonna be a lean towards the people who actually send in
something when pbs does its membership drives -- aka the 'hello dolly'
crowd. would i love to see an entire episode dedicated to grover
washington, jr or the blackbyrds? you know it - but the more jazz on
mainstream tv the better. its not for me, its for (a generic) them.
ramsey needs to relax. i mean, please.
nuff 'said.
