Synopsis
Product Description
Most of the tracks on this CD were originally scored to include the string section of the AAF Band and the postwar orchestra. The exception is Adios, which Jerry Gray arranged for the civilian Glenn Miller Band. However, after the disastrous US recording ban of 1948 and the onset of the decline of the big bands, Tex had to lose his string section which at one point numbered ten violins, one viola and a cello. Consequently these live recordings have a sound more reminiscent of the original Glenn Miller civilian orchestra and should be greatly enjoyed by lovers of Swing and Big Band music everywhere.
