The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need

Various Artists
While the title alone would seem to invite criticism, it's a justified tag, as this 20-track collection rounds up some pretty serious contenders. Kicking off with Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Benny Goodman's "Stompin' at the Savoy," and Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," the set includes signature tunes from Woody Herman, Artie Shaw ...

Greatest Hits [RCA]
(1996)
more music like this
by
Glenn Miller
This CD is part of RCA Victor's extensive but erratic introduction to jazz series. Glenn Miller had so many hits that it would be impossible to fit them on just one CD. Strangely enough, three of the 15 numbers included on this release ("When You Wish Upon a Star," "Moon Love," and "King Porter Stomp") were not big sellers, making the title a bit ...

by
Various Artists
The Fabulous Swing Collection offers 19 classic swing hits from the likes of Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, and Artie Shaw. There's nothing rare on the compilation, so it's not necessary for collectors, but it's not a bad sampler for casual listeners who want these hits ...

The Essential Glenn Miller [Bluebird/Legacy]

by
Glenn Miller
This double-CD set should not be confused with the similarly named mid-'90s, 47-song compilation from BMG, which was good in its time but is outclassed by this entry in Sony Music's (now Sony BMG's) Essential series. Wisely ignoring a by-release-date-order approach, producer Barry Feldman has instead opted for a track lineup that, plain and simple ...

The most famous songs by the most famous big bands that have ever been. Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, and a host of others on down the line are represented. Not all these takes are the original, definitive versions (Woody Herman's "Four Brothers" being recorded as late as 1976), but most listeners will enjoy them regardless. ~ Jim ...

Glenn Miller
A second Christmas CD from Miller's orchestra, this one continues in the tradition of the first CD. In fact, it even includes a few pieces that were also on that one. Although recorded after the death of Glenn Miller himself, his orchestra does a great job of capturing the sound that made the band so famous as they make their way through many ...

Glenn Miller
Glenn Miller was one of the most popular recording artists from the late 1930s until he died in a plane crash while leading an army big band in 1944. While his orchestra was more of a pop band with jazz leanings, with relatively few solos by individual members, his music had mass appeal during a troubled time in American history. This two-disc set ...

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955)

This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ...

The 2002 compilation America's Bandleader was short and idiosyncratic but the following year, Platinum Glenn Miller offered the ...
