Synopsis

"A reminiscent quiz programme on the subject of jazz"

Long-running jazz quiz, usually recorded at a jazz club like Ronnie Scott's or The 100 Club. Like My Music, the entertainment was not really so much in the contestants (all jazz luminaries) giving the correct answer but the stories and anecdotes they gave in relation to each piece of music.

Bonus points if you can spot Humphrey Lyttelton, Benny Green and Ronnie Scott
