You only have to look at the broadcast schedule to question this documentary's credibility:

• Jan. 8 — Gumbo (beginnings in 1917)
• Jan. 9 — The Gift (1917-24)
• Jan. 10 — Our Language (1924-28)
• Jan. 15 — The True Welcome (1929-35)
• Jan. 17 — Swing: Pure Pleasure (1935-37)
• Jan. 22 — Swing: The Velocity of Celebration (1937-39)
• Jan. 23 — Dedicated to Chaos (1940-45)
• Jan. 24 — Risk (1945-55)
• Jan. 29 — The Adventure (1956-60)
• Jan. 31 — A Masterpiece by Midnight (1961-present)

I mean: the last FORTY years of jazz in one whack??? Pretty silly...
