“Michael Feinstein’s American Songbook” (8 p.m., PBS): Don’t expect “Glee”-like mashups in this three-part documentary. Nevertheless, Feinstein, a singer and pianist, maintains a brisk beat as he takes viewers on a fascinating journey through the first 50 years of the nation’s musical history. Part 1, “Putting On the Tailfins,” examines how vocalists like Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra kept the standards alive, despite the burgeoning popularity of rock ’n’ roll. 8 p.m. Wednesday, PBS.
“Macbeth” (9 p.m., PBS): After playing to raves in London and New York, Patrick Stewart brings his stage take on Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” to public television’s “Great Performances.” This version is set in a modern militaristic society. Kate Fleetwood co-stars.
