Ken Burns, America's premier documentary filmmaker, scores another hit with his landmark 10-part, 19-hour PBS documentary, Jazz. This sampler is a smaller version of the accompanying five-CD box set, with 22 selections spanning the music's many styles: from Benny Goodman's 1938 classic rendition of "King Porter Stomp" to John Coltrane's immortal "Giant Steps." Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan form a sweeping spectrum of jazz singing with their varying styles. Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker's "Groovin' High," Thelonious Monk's riff blues "'Straight, No Chaser," and Miles Davis's modal masterpiece "So What" are among the music's "greatest hits" compiled here. Louis Armstrong's down-home treatment of Hoagy Carmichael's "Star Dust" and Duke Ellington's rousing "Cotton Tail" show why they are the alpha and the omega of this music. Although the documentary and the sampler omit the avant-garde and Latin jazz, this is, overall, good one-stop shopping for those just getting in the groove. ~ Eugene Holley Jr.

If you can't afford the price tag on the 5 CD set then this is for you ! Although any serious jazz collector would have most of these songs it is still a great collection that takes the listener through time and a trip to W52nd Street in New York City. The sound quality is excellent, especially on the older songs. If anything this CD will make you hungry for more Coltrane, Sachmo, Dizzy and the Count ! Purchase it and you WON'T be dissappointed ! ~ R. A. Meyer

In one CD with 20 tracks you'll take the musical jazz journey from 1926 to 1959. From the early New Orleans sound of Jelly Roll Morton to the swing of Louis and Duke and Count Basie, vocals of Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan, and the evolution of jazz with Thelonious, Coltrane and Miles. Hard to ask for much more in an overview of American Jazz than you'll get here. If Jazz is new to you this is an excellent introduction, or if you're a fan like me you'll appreciate this "best of" collection. ~ J. Charles Hansen
