The short films included in this compilation are known as Soundies. These musical films were shown in a jukebox machine called a Panoram. Over 2000 of these films were made between 1941 and 1947. The Big Bands Volume 1 is a sampling of the numerous bands who performed by some of the biggest stars of the era. Initially, Soundies were extremely popular but due to a shortage of production materials during the war the Panorams were in short supply, ultimately causing the demise of the Soundie in 1947. Nevertheless, Soundies captured on film many superb musicians at the peak of their powers, making an irreplaceable contribution to the history of American music. Using the best possible source, Storyville Films has painstakingly located and restored the Soundies in this program to the best possible condition. In some cases the available prints were not up to out usual excellent standards. We have chosen to include those films because of their historic value.

The second volume of Big Band Soundies includes some of the finest musicians and band leaders of the Big Band era. These musical films were originally shown in a jukebox machine called a Panoram. Over two thousand of these films were made between 1941 and 1947 featuring many of the most popular recording artists of the day. Soundies were extremely popular, but due to a shortage of production materials during the war, the Panorams themselves were in short supply. The shortage of Panorams ultimately spelled the demise of the Soundie in 1947. Nevertheless, they captured on film many superb musicians at the peak of their powers making an irreplaceable contribution to the history of American music during this period.
