Big band orchestras began showing up in all the major Hollywood productions. They featured pre-recorded songs where the musicians lip singed. It is interesting to have such a crucial period on film. The Swing Era "was fortunately captured for feature films and short subjects at the time it was all happening," (Behlmer 1).

Benny Goodman, "The King of Swing," had a movie- Hollywood Hotel in 1937 "the full orchestra plays an abbreviated version of that quintessential Swing Era arrangement of 'Sing, Sing, Sing' in the film," (Behlmer 1).
From big Hollywood productions came popularity on the small screen. As televisions became the new rage, Jazz performances became popular on television from 1948-1970. These normally included half hour-hour specials of live music or performances on major night time talk shows (Yanow 4).
