The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns (Boxed Set)

Ken Burns

Pbs Home Video, 1997

A true masterpiece, regardless of historical reservations!
Regardless of historical reservations and allegations of bias from both North and South, I regard this work of Ken Burns as a true masterpiece. I bought my first set on VHS several years ago at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and played it through a dozen or more times. I went to the expense of having this set transferred to new tapes for my VHS player here in England. Having heard in 2002 that it was ...

Great Series, Very Educational
I am a music teacher and have been sharing this series over the last few months with some of my young players and I think it is absolutely fantastic!!!! I think that the commentary by such luminaries as Branford and Wynton Marsalis, Dave Brubeck, Albert Murray,Margo Jeferson (the list is endless)is just amazing. Many first person accounts and you really can't ask for better than that . I guess I ...

Voices & Visions: Langston Hughes

Voices & Visions

Unapix Consumer Products, 1995

Outstanding Video!
There was a negative description on this site--it regarded a negative review of a wholeseller--rather than the video itself--which is amazing. Langston Hughes was an icon and remains so. This video has great production value and shows the Hughes in all his historical glory. For collectors (and professors, teachers) this video is worth its weight in gold.

The piano is adorned with the faces of their slave ancestors, carved by a distant relation who was owned by the Sutter family in Mississippi before Emancipation. ...

RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video, 1967

Timeless Classic!
TSWL has been a favourite of mine for many years. They picked a really great cast to make this film. Although made and set in 1960s London there are certain things that are still relevant to todays world; problem kids no teacher wants in his/her class, racial profiling & stereotyping. This film shows how one man (Poitier) made a difference in trying to tackle these problem at the time. My ...

Now on DVD - More Than A Masterpiece - A Vital Historical Record
This beautiful, moving, and absolutely essential documentary has been called a masterpiece. The word "masterpiece", while apt, does not do this film justice. This is 14 hours of essential and vital American history that no American child should miss. This film should be required viewing in every American high school.

Thelonious Monk, Nica De Koenigswarter

Warner Home Video, 2001

Thelonious Monk - Straight, No Chaser
It's hard to imagine a more fitting tribute to the late, great Monk, an innovative stylist who penned "Round Midnight" and exerted a tremendous influence on Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and others. That's largely due to the copious rare footage of Monk, whose bizarre antics we witness on the road and in recording studios. His mumbling musings and anxious tics leave the ...

Hbo Home Video, 2000

"I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man."
From screenplay, to cinematography, and most certainly through the exceptional performances, this superb film is a tearjerker you can feel good about - on many levels. The movie's most compelling quality is its clear-eyed view of racism in America's deep south. The black people we meet all have distinct personalities complete with problems, strengths, fears, disappointments, and ambitions - ...

This Is Education At Its Best
So much is unknown about the valid attempts African-Americans made to build their own society's, during the 18th century, forward. This story tells of how they were thwarted and destroyed for 'just trying to live in America as free, productive, people.' My classes sat with eyes glued to the screen. It was a horrific awakening for many of my students. They were fed the lies and propaganda ...

Maybe the funnest thing EVER!
When asked for an example of something to "hot" to be included in the National Recording Registry, Gene DeAnna, the director of the recorded sound division at the Library of Congress, immediately replied: "The example that comes to mind, to me, is a Richard Pryor record." He continued, "I think out of context, the language and often edgy, racial overtones of the recording could be put against the ...
