And that can be very profound. We only cared if you were wearing deodorant. And that was very profound. Let's talk about Louis some more. He invented swing, he invented jazz, he invented the telephone, the automobile and scat singing.

And from there go to Pluto. Giddins, Glaser and Ken Burns raise their hands. In 1964, John Coltrane was at his peak, Eric Dolphy was in Europe, where he would eventually die, the Modern Jazz Quartet was making breakthrough recordings in the field of third stream music, Miles Davis was breaking new barriers with his second great quintet and Charlie Mingus was extending jazz composition to new levels of complexity, to name just a few. The rest of the saga of jazz music will be shown in fast forward and will occupy exactly seven seconds.
