Labels Link For Jazz Series
Columbia/Legacy Recordings and the Verve Music Group are planning an ambitious cooperative marketing campaign to promote "Jazz," a 10-part, 19-hour history of the music by director Ken Burns ("The Civil War"), to air in January 2001 on PBS. On Oct. 10, the labels will release simultaneously a five-CD
boxed set featuring the music highlighted in the series, a single-disc "Jazz" overview, and 22 individual artist compilations (11 each from Legacy and Verve). A companion book by Burns and his frequent collaborator Geoffrey Ward will be issued by Alfred Knopf.
