Recently, another brilliant Ken Burns-affilated documentary has been airing on PBS. In a rather unusual move, a multitude of cd's have been released to accompany the series and extrapolate on the experience.
Sometimes poignant and moving, at other times fun and exciting, it mostly serves as an emotionally compelling document of an incredible time in history. For today's show, we extract a few tracks from each of the four cd's associated with this series.
Here's a list of songs that are utilized in today's program;
1) American Anthem - Norah Jones
2) How Long Blues - Count Basie
3) We'll Meet Again - Benny Goodman
4) Body and Soul - Coleman Hawkins
5) Blues in the Night - Cab Calloway
6) Cherokee - Charlie Barnet
7) Pistol Packin' Mama - Al Dexter
8) Frenesi - Artie Shaw
9) American Patrol - Glenn Miller
10) C Jam Blues - Duke Ellington
11) Song Without Words - Yo Yo Ma and Emmanuel Ax
