Jazz is the companion website to the Ken Burns
PBS series. Explore cities and clubs where jazz developed; listen to
excerpts of bebop, cool jazz, and other styles; discover what makes jazz
"jazz" and the theory behind the art form that has been called

of nearly 100 musicians, transcripts of interviews that went into the
making of the show, a "virtual piano," and more than a dozen
lessons and a study guide. (NEA/NEH)
