Ken Burns Give You Something
Synopsis
"Redeems (?) the whitest man in America, Ken Burns, by making him scat, riff and syncopate more than all the hours of his multi-PBS JAZZ series ever attempted. The void of the PBS drone is regenerated in a cut and slice Shiva dance of creation." — Kyle Henry, Cinematexas, September 2002
