Watch Stan Kenton and His Orchestra in a fun little Soundie titled "Jammin´ In The Panoram". This was filmed in 1942 and was produced by Sam Coslow, who was responsible for many of the better Soundies that were created during the Era.
I feel that this captures the essence of Kenton's music in his early years and overall is quite entertaining. Vocalist, Helen Huntley makes an appearance in this one. This was at a time that Kenton's Band had a revolving door of singers that never seemed able to stick around for long.
Note: A Panoram was the machine that played Soundies, hence the title.
Check it out. Enjoy!
