Three Stooges Ken Burns-Style Mockumentary I've always wondered what a documentary about the Three Stooges would look like as done by Ken or Ric Burns. And I found out it would look like all their other documentaries—seen one, seen 'em all! But I had fun making this and I hope you enjoy it.

Ken Burns' Jazz — The Jazz Messengers A short introduction to the legendary Jazz Messengers. Established in 1955 by drummer Art Blakey and pianist Horace Silver, the group was a pioneer of hard-bop jazz. Notice Gerald Early's remarks at time 2:18. I don't know whether he's correct or not, but his comments seem really absurd. This clip is from The Adventure, the 9th episode of Ken Burns' Jazz series.

The War - A Documentary By Ken Burns - VOA Story America commemorates its fallen soldiers each year on Memorial Day, the last Monday in May. The day honors not only the dead, but all Americans who served in the time of war. Filmmaker and historian Ken Burns chronicles their stories in his new seven-part documentary, The War, a stark picture of World War Two. "We concentrated just on the two theaters of war that Americans were principally involved in, " says Burns. "The European (which will also include North Africa) and the Pacific. And we followed them simultaneously, chronologically." The documentary also follows what was happening in the United States "to see what people were like in the shared sacrifice, what they were doing for the war effort, how they were worrying, how they were grieving, how they were joyously reuniting with soldiers coming back," Burns says. "It helps to fix the importance of people if you know who's worried about them." Burns's documentary does not focus on politicians, diplomats or generals, or on speeches or treaties. Instead, it throws light on common folk, recalling the grinding days of combat, endless nights, wide awake, waiting for the war to end, for loved ones to come home. Every day, about 1000 World War II veterans die, their stories untold. In an effort to gather firsthand recollections of the American men and women who served during wartime, the Library of Congress, the largest library in the world, launched the project in 2000. Ken Burns's documentary is expected to spark wide interest in the Library of Congress Veterans' Project. Burns has also attracted some negative publicity, for not including war time accounts of Hispanic-American heroes. But Burns says the voices he uses represent all Americans who were touched by the last global war: soldiers, sailors, medics, wives, children. It was everyone's war.

KEN BURNS INTERVIEW - THE WAR Coming to PBS on September 23, 2007. This is a new seven-part documentary series directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that explores the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective by following the fortunes of so-called ordinary men and women who become caught up in one of the greatest cataclysms in human history. Six years in the making, this epic 15-hour film focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns - Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota. These four communities stand in for - and could represent - any town in the United States that went through the war's four devastating years. Individuals from each community take the viewer through their own personal and quite often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped to save for generations to come.
