Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington laid much of the groundwork for the big band era (roughly 1934-1946), but Glenn Miller's band was probably the most popular of them all. Miller played a beautifully melodious trombone, and while his orchestras had less outright jazz content than those of Goodman or Ellington, his clever, classy pop song arrangements made his band enormously successful during the World War II years (both here and abroad). These recordings are mostly from the war years, with the personnel of the band drawn from the ranks of the American military.
