A great selection of soundies from the most popular big bands of the 40s. The Count and the Duke show the style that made them immortal, and Cab Calloway confirms that he was the untamed showman of jazz. Although Lucky Millinder is lesser known today and although he couldn’t read music or play any instrument, he was a colorful and animating conductor for a band of great musicians - plus one of the most dynamic gospel singers of all time, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
