If you're still interested in hearing Programme 3 - which looks at Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw's attitudes to their fans and fellow musicians, their refusal to obey convention regarding the jazz "colour bar", and their brilliant small group work - it's available (until next Saturday) via Listen Again. Go here and click Jazz File.
I'm very happy with the reception the series has received. It was radio pick in Time Out and the Daily Mail, and a portion of the programme was repeated last night on Radio 4's Pick of the Week.
