A companion piece to Ken Burns's World War II documentary, THE WAR collection features songs by jazz/big-band luminaries of the era including Duke Ellington (the elegant "Solitude") and Count Basie (the gently swinging "Basie Boogie"). Other highlights include a new recording by renowned singer/pianist Norah Jones, who performs the film's beautiful theme, "American Anthem," and the song's closing reprisal by vocalist Amanda Forsythe and pianist Bill Charlap.
