If It Weren't for Lou Reed, This Would have Been Perfect,
By I. Gross Georg "imgeorg" (Edmond, Oklahoma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Masters - The Musicians (Ella Fitzgerald Something to Live For / Quincy Jones In the Pocket / Lou Reed Rock & Roll Heart) (DVD)
I love the American Masters series. I have a lot of them taped from TV. In my opinion, this boxed set of American Masters would have been perfect had they put somebody besides Lou Reed in the mix. After all, we're showcasing some of the finest African-American musicians here! There were American Masters programs done on Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, even Jessye Norman. It's as if PBS put together two shows people are going to want and added one that they couldn't get rid of otherwise. I took two stars away for that. I have both the Quincy Jones and the Ella Fitzgerald series on tape. I won't be upgrading to DVD just to get Lou Reed. In this case, it's best to buy separately, and buy used to save money.
