Just wanted to draw attention to 3 TV programmes this coming Sunday not mentioned in my preview:

BBC4 - 9pm
Ronnie's: Ronnie Scott and his World-Famous Jazz Club
A celebration of the legacy of Ronnie Scott and his renowned jazz club. Featuring previously unseen and unheard performances, as well as interviews with some of the famous figures in music, this film explores the venue's history and shines a light on the men and women who both built it and who took to its stage. Named after the tenor saxophonist who founded the club in London's bohemian district of Soho in 1959 with Pete King, the nightspot played host to jazz greats such as Chet baker, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Buddy Rich, Oscar Peterson and Nina Simone.

From the write-up it looks like some biographical stuff should be in there as well.

10.45pm - Ella Fitzgerald at Ronnie Scott's
A 1974 performance at the London club, including Sweet Georgia Brown, It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) and Swingin' the Blues.
