3.0 out of 5 stars Fun collection from mostly terrible sources, May 10, 2009
By Randy C. Baer (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 1940's saw the advent of the first video jukeboxes, actually small film monitors set up at bars, restaurants and other assorted venues. The films produced for these machines were called "Soundies". Despite mediocre production values and distracting cutaways, these miniatures provide a fascinating cultural window, as well as glimpses of some of the top jazz and pop performers of the day. This collection brings together a couple of dozen such performances. The problem is the source materials have so deteriorated that, several of the films are either unwatchable or unlistenable. Acorn Media appears not to have done any restoration. And, as far as I know, this stuff is all Public Domain now, so their costs were near nonexistant to begin with. So, if you value your media shekels, be forewarned. Still, if you spot this at your local library as I did, by all means take a gander at a sound and a time long passed and nearly forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jumpin' and Jivin', Vol.1 Review, September 5, 2007
By DVD Lover (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
I'm very pleased with this DVD. I found it quite informative since it provides a visual of the music during that era. I've heard about some of the performers. This was an opportunity to see them in action!
