Melody Master
The “Melody Masters” were a series of first-rate big band musical film shorts produced by Warner Brothers, under the supervision of Samuel Sax at their Vitaphone studio in New York between 1931 and 1939, and in Burbank, California with producer Gordon Hollingshead in charge between 1940 and 1946.
==Overview==

Among the most popular short subjects of their kind (making the Motion Picture Herald top money-making shorts lists in 1939 〔''1965 International Motion Picture Almanac''. 1964. Quigley Publishing Company. pp. 86-88A〕); these were an offshoot of the Vitaphone Varieties. Each ran from 9 to 11 minutes in length and was produced in black and white.
While rival studios like Universal Pictures focused mostly on the performance itself in their own “Name Band Musicals” shorts, Warner Bros. added more storyline material and visual experimentation. Early films often used a gimmick to frame the musical performances such as the roller skates used in ''Eddie Duchin & His Orchestra''. As the series progressed, the uses of multiple exposures (a great example being ''Symphony of Swing'' with Artie Shaw), optical effects, mirrors (i.e. ''Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra'') and stark shadow lighting (i.e. ''Henry Busse and His Orchestra'') made this series stand out against the competition.〔Maltin, Leonard. ''The Great Movie Shorts''. 1972. Bonanza Books, p. 25 & 213〕
Jean Negulesco was a key director on some of the best titles of the early 1940s before graduating to features. Life (magazine) photographer Gjon Mili contributed to the most frequently seen today title, ''Jammin' the Blues'', entered into the National Film Registry in 1995.
After the series’ official end in 1946, there were two follow-up series called “Memories from Melody Lane” and “Hit Parade of the Gay Nineties” that differed somewhat in style and narration, tracing the history of popular music since the 1890s.
