I haven't been paying too much attention to the advance publicity for this series,only to be thankful that Ken Burns is not behind it(so no Gospel According to Wynton Marsalis). The series consists of individual films directed by some important film directors on different aspects of the music. A&M connections are to include:Garland Jeffreys and Vernon Reed performing in the Wim Wenders film;Ike Turner in the Richard Pearce selection;Turner again,along with Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee for Mark Levin;Terry & McGhee again in the film by Mike Figgis;and,finally,Clint Eastwood's portion on piano blues has Dave Brubeck,Dr. John and a performance recorded just a few weeks ago with the good Doctor and Pete Jolly. This information gathered through the Organissmo Forum and press releases they have posted there. Enjoy and comment if you see any of these films. Mac
