Music is the Muse Pt. 1: Documentaries (Rock, Gospel, Jazz, Folk)

These are my favorite films focused on music and music-making, even if the genuine subject is something else like an artist or a socio-political expose. Hip hop gets its own list because there are enough of them; fictional and bio-pics get a separate list too. Everything else is lumped together. As the list grows, hopefully I’ll be able to tease out the genres a little bit more.
