Well I am a professional documentarian...

...and there's a lot about it I don't like (along with his other films). Most of my professional friends have major issues with the way Burns makes films. He is overly controlled and controlling of his material, which is one way of understanding the way he imposed limitations in subject matter and perspective in Jazz by focusing the major commentators to experts of a very limited and specific point of view (as commented by someone else). When you think about the variety of perspectives that exist on jazz the idea that he limited himself that way is positively indefensible. His work and style is also endlessly repetitive.
You can try and convince yourself it's just professional jealousy but that ain't it!
