In the hands of acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns, the ten-part documentary JAZZ is a journey across an American landscape divided by war, segregated by race, united by swing and dance and ultimately redeemed through this most American of art forms. As a demonstration of the new relationship that Cleveland's public broadcasting organizations enjoy, 90.3 will simulcast the entire series in stereo, to complement the television broadcast. In addition, both stations will offer supplemental radio and TV programming designed around the series. Click here for a full schedule. To listen to the entire interview click here.
Jazz offers a precise prism through which so much of American history can be seen.
Embedded in the music, in its riveting biographies and soaring artistic achievement, can be found our oft-neglected conscience, a message of hope and transcendence. And music there is, with more than 500 pieces featured. That is why you'll want to turn down the TV and turn up 90.3, to experience JAZZ the way it ought to be, in full-fidelity stereo sound.
