Впервые в истории грамзаписи джазовый бокс-сет (комплект из нескольких CD в единой коробке) перевалил за платиновый рубеж (один миллион проданных экземпляров). Это случилось 8 марта 2001 г., когда была продана двухсоттысячная коробка с пятью дисками коллекции “Ken Burns JAZZ”, выпущенной совместно компаниями Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings и The Verve Music Group. Коллекция выпущена в связи с прошедшей в январе-феврале на американском телевидении премьерой документального сериала “Джаз” режиссера Кена Бернса (который, как и ожидалось, оживил общественный интерес к джазу и напомнил многим американцам, что их страна в истории музыки породила кое-что помимо кантри).

Коллекция включает треки, прозвучавшие в фильмах сериала полностью или частично - в исполнении Луиса Армстронга, Каунта Бейси, Орнетта Коулмэна, Джона Колтрейна, Майлса Дэвиса, Дюка Эллингтона, Эллы Фитджералд, Диззи Гиллеспи, Хэрби Хэнкока, Билли Холидей, Чарлза Мингуса, Телониуса Монка, Джелли Ролл Мортона и Лестера Янга. За 17 недель, прошедших с момента выхода коллекции и последовавших за ней 23 дисков-сборников тех или иных музыкантов под общим названием “Ken Burns JAZZ”, пластинки этой серии прочно оккупировали джазовый хит-парад “Биллборда”; мало того, по результатам этих 17 недель доля джаза в общем объеме продаж аудиопродукции поднялась с 2,5 процентов до почти четырех (еще один беспрецедентный в истории индустрии скачок).
