Jim- Ken Burns could have spent more time on Miles but at least he recognized him for the genius that he was. I agree once he passed the 1960's the show got really weak but that is partly due to jazz being past its heyday by 1970. He didn't even mention Weather Report, and they were mostly Miles' sidemen. But hey, nobody has tried such an ambitious project before and I thought he handled bop and the fifties especially well.
