Ken Burns, "JAZZ"

[Alexander]

I thought Wynton spoke intelligently, with passion, and offered some good insights into the music and the culture of jazz.

Agreed, for the most part. But "jazz objectifies America" still doesn't mean anything.

I think he meant to say "embodies."

Or, even more likely, EXEMPLIFIES. I'm not trying to slam Wynton for this, but rather Burns who chose to make that obvious misstatement the opening line of his ten part film...
