This 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.

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.
