Today's Soundie is "Eager Beaver" by Stan Kenton and His Orchestra. This was filmed on a stage set in 1945 and also features the dancing of Jean Ivory (Pictured Below). This is just one of eighteen Soundies that featured Stan Kenton.
I've always enjoyed watching Stan at work. His passion for the music and his musical leadership really comes through on film. Plus, it's also great to see Ray Wetzel, Freddie Zito, Boots Mussulli and the other boys of Kenton's talented band in action. Enjoy!
