The Jazz Series was a Scottish Television series produced between 1979 and 1981. [1] Each of the four series had a single presenter and a house band with whom guest musicians would play each week.
In January 2011, Scottish Television published all twenty one episodes on YouTube, [2] but these have in the interim been removed along with the playlist page which formerly existed.
