Here in the UK, BBC Radio 3 (the Beeb's 'serious' music station) seems
to be putting out some programmes covering the history of jazz guitar.
Last week's show covered Charlie Christian, this week's was on Wes,
next week it's John McLaughlin's turn.
If anyone's interested, it's possible to listen again to the Christian
program here:

I think the later ones will come online in due course.
I'm a big R3 listener, but hadn't really explored the jazz bits and
pieces they've put online until just now, and I must say I'm quite
pleased with the use they've been making of my license fee :). The
general jazz page is here:

Enjoy.
