Now, over sixty years since the public first embraced the successful Miller Sound, both the legend and the music live on.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought after big band in the world today. Still considered the greatest band of all time, its unique sound is loved by almost anybody that cares for dance music.
Glenn Miller disappeared on December 15, 1944. The bandleader went down over the English Channel on a flight from London to Paris at the height of his popularity. In September 1942, just prior to going into the army, he had disbanded his famous orchestra and eventually formed the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band to entertain the servicemen.
Not long before he enlisted, he nosed out Tommy Dorsey, the "Best Sweet Band" in the Downbeat poll. His recordings of In The Mood,Chattanooga Choo Choo, A String of Pearls, Moonlight Serenade and Tuxedo Junction were all major hit records.
