Harlem Roots Vol. 2: The Headliners

In the second of the Harlem Roots series, Harlem Roots, Vol. 2: The Headliners, Storyville Films presents another collection of "Soundies," short musical films that appeared on a jukebox machine called a Panoram. The headliners here are Louis Armstrong and His Band, Fats Waller, and Louis Jordan. The songs have been chosen with an emphasis on humor and a playful, relaxed delivery. Selections include "Your Feet's Too Big," "Ain't Misbehavin," "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal You," "Honeysuckle Rose," "The Joint Is Jumping," and "Five Guys Named Moe."
