Description
Everyone has a favourite Glenn Miller number, usually one of the hugely popular hit recordings from the early 1940s - "In The Mood", "String Of Pearls", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", or maybe one of the sentimental ballads, "I Know Why" and "At Last", or the most famous of all, "Moonlight Serenade", penned by Glenn himself and which became the band's wonderfully haunting theme song. These successful numbers conjure up the popular image of Glenn Miller's music. However, dig a little deeper, beyond the Miller 'legend', and you will encounter a different sound, more swinging and less sweet. It is this side of Miller's music that this compilation deals specifically with.
