| | Miller's lyric instrumentals, with their distinct grouping of clarinet and saxophones, ushered in a unique sound in popular dance-band music. | | | Glenn Miller and his band& recordings were not strong on jazz improvisation. | | | While not a style or genre&; the Miller sound was so distinctive, thanks to its unique and skillful use of the band& reed section, that listeners could instantly identify the sound as his. |

| | Miller's mission was morale-building, bringing a touch of home to the troops, and modernizing military music. | | | Glenn Miller wrote a friend that in one month "we played at 35 different bases and during our 'spare time' did 40 broadcasts." His Allied Expeditionary Forces Band spent 18 hours a day recording and performing. | | | Maj. Miller combined military and musical precision to create a band which many say was even better than his civilian band. |

| | Miller and his band gave hundreds of performances at ballrooms, theaters, and nightclubs from coast to coast, found time for several weekly radio broadcasts, and made records, records, and more records. | | | Miller’s music continues to be played by big band radio stations and on the internet across the country and around the world. | | | But Miller’s musicians, particularly in his Army Air Force (AAF) band or, as it later would be called in England, "The Band of the Allied Expeditionary Forces," had as much room to improvise as musicians in other big bands of the era. |

| | Glenn enjoyed this music so much that he and some classmates decided to start their own band. | | | Glenn’s second Moonlight Serenade was unique, becoming the theme song of his number one Big Band and heard literally all around the world. | | | The soothing music of his mother in their sod house and the uplifting songs on the way to school must have given Glenn a greater meaning and appreciation for music. |

| | In the late 1930’s and 1940’s, he was a “pop superstar” with literally dozens of hit songs creating a public reception that was as intense and frenzied as it was later for stars like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles. | | | Famous for being the leader of the most popular big band during the Big Big Band Era, Glenn Miller is the music symbol of a generation. | | | The 17 member “tribute” orchestra recreates the sound and the look of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra with the original music arrangements. |

| | This began Miller’s recording association with Bluebird and, while his early sides for the label weren’t instant hits, within a year or so the group became one of the most popular dance bands in the country. | | | Miller studied music briefly with Joseph Schillinger in ’35 and, later that year, he helped Ray Noble to assemble a big band for an opening at the Rainbow Room. | | | While never becoming a showcase for great soloists, Miller’s band perfected a hard-driving sound, which the tough but fair-minded leader strove hard for. |

| | In 1940 alone, Miller recorded forty-five songs that made it onto the top-seller[s] charts--a figure neither Elvis Presley nor the Beatles ever matched--and it was estimated that one out of three nickels put into jukeboxes went to play a Miller record. | | | Everywhere, it seems, there is the music of the Glenn Miller Band of the 1940s. | | | The jukebox became a fixture in restaurants and saloons around 1934, and by the time the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, there were some three to four hundred thousand machines in the United States, most of them dispensing the music of the Big Bands. |

| | Miller and his band trained, performed and were broadcast throughout the U.S. until he took the band to England in 1944 in preparation to tour Allied Europe. | | | Miller and his bands played just about every Pop music form (dance music, vocal ballads, novelty numbers, period pop pieces) and played them well. | | | Miller persisted even though its first few configurations werenÂ’t successful, and recorded sides for several companies until RCA signed him to its Bluebird label in 1938. |

| | Such characterization of African-American music as instinctually sexual, rather than artistic, would also appear in depictions and criticisms of rock and roll music. | | | Such nostlagia was common in the swing musician biopics of the 1950s. | | | The genre dramatizes this journey with scenes, occurring early in such films as The Fabulous Dorseys (1947), The Glenn Miller Story (1954), and The Benny Goodman Story (1955), in which the white protagonist descends into a nightclub and is inspired by African-American jazz musicians. |
