Legends of Jazz series hits PBS-HD
The Washington Post did a nice writeup Friday on this new PBS series. We know from our comments how much everybody enjoys their productions and this looks to be another quality one. Host Ramsey Lewis highlights a different theme and talks to some of the world's best musicians in each half hour segment, all produced in HDTV and 5.1 surround sound.
I first heard about this series last fall when it was supposed to air, but didn't know what had happened to it. If you're at all a fan of the music or maybe even if you're not yet, go to the official website and find out when it is airing in your area, it is definitely worth catching.

Whoo, my PBS station is airing this twice a day. This looks good.

Aaaah, my favourite and now in 5.1! At last my musical acoustics will work at one's full capacity

Does anyone know when the short started airing? This is the first week I am catching it and I love it.

Hi -- I produce and write the "Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis" TV series and I was really pleased to see this thread! I just wanted to pass along some more information about what we are doing: The series is running on PBS all across the country, and we are also just releasing a CD/DVD performance compilation package called "Showcase" -- check out the Jazz home page on the iTunes Music Store, Amazon, local stores, etc. We also have a great website, www.legendsofjazz.net, that features photos, bios, TV schedules, episode descriptions, etc. that you might want to check out. Contact us via the website for any further information, and thanks for watching!
