KEN BURNS' JAZZ
May 14, 2016  | By David Bianculli

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Part 8 of 8. This Ken Burns and company series ends its repeat run with an episode devoted to jazz hands. Just kidding. It’s really about modern jazz, and one of the key figures – still alive and playing, as well as talking, at the time this series was produced – in Dave Brubeck, whose “Take Five” and other recordings in the 1950s allowed jazz to slide into the relative mainstream. Check local listings.
