The Jazz Series was a Scottish Television series produced between 1979 and 1981. 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, but these have in the interim been removed along with the playlist page which formerly existed.
