Music Appreciation
Related: About this forumJam Handy Organization
Is anyone here familiar with the Jam Handy Organization? It produced thousands of industrial, promotional, training, education and ephemeral films beginning in the 30's (it was dissolved in the early 80's upon Handy's death.)
Anyway, I'm wondering who/what was behind the music on these productions. Unknown studio musicians and composers? Some of the tracks on these films are really creative with quite remarkable arrangements and orchestration.

(13,512 posts)I'm particularly interested in those that they made for Chevrolet in the 30's. Their "film strips," usually under 10 minutes in length, were mostly live action with people and cars in various settings and might include some brief animation to demonstrate, say, how a piston works or something like that. Beck's site doesn't seem to have anything along those lines. But thanks again for the site. It's interesting on its own accord!
