CD Reviews

The best Glenn Miller compilation

Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 10/13/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This set of four CD's was released by Proper, who have released over thirty similar sets of some of the legends of the thirties and forties. There have been many compilations of Glenn's music - and will continue to be many more, but this is by far the best I've come across.It contains all his big hits, all the other songs he is famous for and so much more besides. At the time I bought this, I didn't even realise his line-up included a female singer! Actually, if you buy a single-CD compilation of Glenn's music, chances are that you will get mostly (perhaps exclusively) instrumental tracks, with any vocals being by one of the male singers, usually Ray Eberle.A four CD set allows you to hear a much broader range of music than you would get from a single CD. These include vocals from Marion Hutton and all the featured male singers, but ultimately it is the instrumental tracks (of which In the mood and Moonlight serenade are the most famous) which are what Glenn will be best remembered. He never attached great impotrance to singing, content to employ good singers who were not the absolute best. Some other bands had better singers but were less successful, so Glenn was right - it's the music that counts.If you are thinking that four CD's is more than you need, compare the price of this to a double-CD. If you decide to buy this, you will find the extra variety - different voices on songs as well as instrumentals - will dispel any doubts. My opinion of Glenn's music (already favorable) increased considerably as a consequence of listening to this set. Four CD's is fully justified - enjoy them."

Best Music Ever Made

Kathryn's daughter | 01/30/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fabulous! This was a gift to my 87 year-old father whose face lit up when he opened it. This is the "best music that was ever made", and he becomes more youthful with a definite spring to his step whenever he's listening to it. He has assured me that Glenn Miller is the best of the big band era."

The choice selection for the jazz lover

Ian Muldoon | Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia | 08/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As well as the standard classics (Tuxedo Junction etc) and a smattering of sentimental clunkers (April Played the Fiddle, etc) this complilation has quite a few outstanding and memorable swing (jazz) numbers that the band did well including Johnson Rag which swings like made, Slow Freight, Anvil Chorus Pts1&2 et al. It is these that make this compilation expecially enjoyable for me. The sound is good and the price is low. The best Miller Cd's available as I am not a completist"
