Leonard Anderson

A plotless revue in a theatrical setting, offering 19 musical and dance numbers. Dizzy Gillespie and his band perform eight songs, including "Salt Peanuts", "One Bass Hit", "Oop Bop Sh'Bam" and "He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped". The band plays off-camera while dancers perform during the remaining songs, which include "Shaw 'Nuff", "A Night in Tunisia", "Grosvenor Square" and "Ornithology".

Featuring the swinging sounds of the all-woman band The International Sweethearts of Rhythm and a young Ruby Dee, the 1946 musical showcases tenderness in romance and community through a series of musical numbers. The loosely connected plot follows film producers hoping to cast a stand-out actress for their next film. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2008.

Follows the band's rise in show business, starting with its origins in the Navy during World War II and their struggle to make it.

Anna Mae Winburn and the The International Sweethearts of Rhythm brings us "Jump Children."

Billy Martin, whose band is rebelling against him for lack of paying gigs, scores an important audition with Joe Corwin, who is opening a new club and needs a premier act.
