This is a great documentary on four classic jazz albums from 1959. It looks at jazz as a predictor of social change in the US, and has some cool in-studio footage and outstanding narration.

Wow...thanks for posting this. I'd like to set aside enough time to watch the whole thing!

A jam-packed 58 minutes, brother. The best thing I've watched in ages.

'57-'65 is my favorite era of jazz. So much great stuff. I mean just if one considers how much music was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder across just one of the labels and you have legend making right there. But he recorded stuff for multiple

Labels. That's not even getting into the amount of stuff coming from Columbia and Atlantic out of the studios in NYC. Then there is LA cool. Man it's just mindblowing.
