In that second level of orchestras during the big band era was firmly located Glen Gray And His Casa Loma Orchestra. Hovering somewhere between sweet and swing, Glen had and still has his followers to this day.

The music genre features stories showcasing musical performances, music-related documentaries and recordings of live concerts and music festivals.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
