THE GLEN
MILLER ORCHESTRA
|
| In
an era of blaring brass, rinky-dink pianos, and
throbbing drums, a young orchestra leader named Glenn
Miller was seeking ways to keep his head above water,
his band together, and a unique sound. He found
sound and salvation by muting the brass, featuring the
mellow sound of the trombone, and turning the lead over
to the reeds. By creating the unmistakable
"Glenn Miller' sound, he lifted himself and his
orchestra to an exalted position among the finest groups
of the Big Band Era. The career of Captain Glenn
Miller ended in 1944 when his plane went down over the
English Channel
, but his musical heritage and memory lives on. |
