Description
Glenn Miller’s warm, clarinet-led trombone sound defined the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s, and this CD brings together ten of his most beloved recordings in one essential collection. From the irresistible momentum of ‘In The Mood’ and the bluesy strut of ‘Tuxedo Junction’ to the tender ballad ‘Stardust’, the range on display here captures both the dance-floor energy and the romantic elegance that made Miller one of the best-selling bandleaders of his generation. Tracks like ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘My Reverie’ showcase the orchestra’s gift for lush, emotive arrangement, while ‘Moonlight Cocktails’ and ‘Indian Summer’ exemplify the signature Miller warmth. A thoroughly satisfying introduction or addition to any big band collection…
