Does anyone have any of those Leonard-Bernstein-or-someone-demystifies-jazz recordings?

Where he says, "now, this is a blah-blah. hey miles, can you show us what a so-and-so is." "fo sho, lenny." "great. now, kids, listen for the first two notes of (x), and that's when the solo starts." because i've been listening to more jazz than ever in the past couple weeks, and these seem like they actually might be pretty informative. do you know what i'm talking about? and you maybe send it? or recommend a classic one?

Wait, wait, wait. I want to hear Leonard Bernstein doing jazz. Are you for real that such a thing exists?

i've seen clips of some of this at the museum of television and radio. bernstein was so cool -- like his daughter said in a recent interview, he could find the connective tissue holding all forms of music together, and his populism was really more about sharing his enthusiasm than being condescending.
