Hi Ian,
Thanks so much smile for sharing that wonderful historical "Bernstein on Jazz" Youtube documentary.
Bernstein was a musical genius in multiple musical genres (classical- jazz-etc). I look forward to watching parts 2 -5 as well.
I also found other interesting Bernstein documentaries on YouTube including: Bernstein On Conducting; Bernstein On Modern Music; Bernstein on Beethoven; Bernstein Playing Rock Music clap
Another legendary American musician of a similar order, at home conducting classical orchestras AND playing jazz piano is André Previn: cool
