Jazz. [videorecording] / by Burns, Ken,1953-(CARDINAL)204062;
Commentary :Michael Cuscuna, Wynton Marsalis, Abbey Lincoln, Arvell Shaw, Gary Giddens, Jackie McLean, Lester Bowie, Nat Hentoff, Branford Marsalis, Gene Lees, Stanley Crouch, Gerald Early, Joshua Redman, Herbie Hancock, George Wein, Matt Glaser, Phoebe Jacobs, Mercedes Ellington, Msgr. John Sanders, Lorraine Gordon, Joe Lovano, Cassandra Wilson ; narrated by Keith David.In the 1960s, jazz fragments into the avant-garde and many divided schools of thought. Many jazz musicians like Dexter Gordon are forced to leave America in search of work while others use the music as a form of social protest. Max Roach, Charles Mingus, and Archie Shepp make overtly political musical statements. John Coltrane appeals to a broad audience before his untimely death. Saxophonist Stan Getz helps boost a craze for bossa nova music, but in the early 1970s, jazz founders Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington pass away. Miles Davis leads a movement of jazz musicians who incorporate elements of rock and soul into their music and "fusion" wins listeners. By the mid-1980s, jazz begins to bounce back led by Wynton Marsalis and a new generation of musicians. Now as it approaches its centennial, jazz is still alive, still changing and still swinging.DVD.

Includes bibliographical references.This is the first in-depth publication to investigate the practice of pianist, composer and visual artist Jason Moran, whose work bridges the fields of visual arts and performing arts. As a 'torchbearer for jazz,' Moran challenges traditional forms of musical composition; his experimental works merge object and sound, underscoring the theatricality of both mediums. Moran, who often collaborates with prominent visual artists such Joan Jonas, Stan Douglas, Lorna Simpson and Glenn Ligon, pushes beyond the conventions of sculpture and the concert stage while continuing to embrace the essential tenets of jazz and improvisation.
