Are there any other films besides those below that recorded "contemporary"* big band (meaning "swing" and other 1930'S and 40's dance music) performances IN STEREO? THE COTTON CLUB NEW YORK, NEW YORK FAREWELL, MY LOVELY THE WAY WE WERE IN HARM'S WAY *By "contemporary" I mean that it was performed at the time of the film's production. (Not films like RADIO DAYS where they used vintage recordings.)

Memphis Belle. The Rocketeer. Does 1941 count?

Does 1941 count? Yes, indeedy! And an awesome example of ORIGINAL swing music it is, too. You also reminded me that RACING WITH THE MOON can be added to the list.

Offtopic a bit -- but Laurie Johnson is known for his contemporary Big Band recordings. I only have the tracks that appear on the 3-CD Box Set 3 "The New Avengers" collection -- I believe the following are the Big Band selections that appear on Disc 3. I have no idea if they've been used in any film, though: 13. Crazy for Gershwin, for big band 14. Jeepers Creepers, song (for the film "Going Places") 15. Come rain or come shine, song (from the musical "St. Louis Woman") 16. Suddenly, for voice & big band 17. From this moment on, song (from film "Kiss Me Kate") 18. My Romance, song (from "Jumbo") 19. Swanee, song (for Capital Revue, by various composers) 20. Mean To Me 21. I love Paris, song (from "Can Can") 22. Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (The Ballad of Mack the Knife) 23. It Could Happen To You 24. Begorra!, for big band
