Smithsonian Channel's Sound Revolution is a six-part weekly series hosted by award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. Documentary footage, expert interviews and performances by great musicians trace the origins of be-bop, jazz,
rock 'n' roll and soul music, all emanating from “ground zero” –
Clarksdale, Mississippi – and the Mississippi Delta.
Most of each hour-long program is filled with recent performances, largely from the Montreux Jazz Festival, featuring the greatest
performers of music with roots in the South including: B.B. King,
Ike Tuner, Buddy Guy, Etta James, Eric Clapton Carlos Santana,
Robert Cray, Miles Davis, The Neville Brothers and many others.
