Harlem Roots, Vol. 2: The Headliners on AllMovie

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.
