Glenn Miller
Glenn Miller's 1939-1942 Victor recordings have been reissued a countless number of times in many different ways through the years. This two-CD set does an excellent job of repackaging all of his hits plus a variety of vocal numbers in chronological order. The 47 selections sum up Miller's legacy quite well, making this a definitive set for ...

by
Glenn Miller & His Orchestra
A very odd budget package, as it contains no big hits. But it's still all classic Glenn Miller, with tracks like "Running Wild" sitting alongside oddball covers like "And the Angels Sing" and "Circiribin," and smoothies like "My Reverie" and "Blue Evening." There's no rhyme or reason to this set, but it's a nice budget collection of big-band tunes ...

Although Glenn Miller & His Orchestra get first billing on this two-CD set, 25 of the 35 selections are features for the Andrews Sisters. The music is taken from the earliest Glenn Miller Chesterfield Broadcasts, shows that had the always-cheerful Andrews Sisters as the regular guests. After March 1940, it was decided that Miller (whose band had ...

Wilbur DeParis
The Wilbur DeParis band had undergone two major changes by the time it recorded these two albums in 1960. Its longtime clarinetist, Omer Simeon, had died and was replaced by Garvin Bushell (who is heard on clarinet, piccolo, and bassoon). And cornetist Sidney DeParis' increasingly erratic health resulted in Doc Cheatham being added on second ...

Teddy Wilson
Black Lion has reissued several Teddy Wilson sessions on CD, but this one is by far the most exciting. Recorded live at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, Wilson plays some surprisingly extroverted solos, even starting "One O'Clock Jump" off with some torrid boogie-woogie. The majority of the standards are taken at faster than usual paces with ...

Swing Time

by
Glenn Miller
I've always wondered how bands can keep the name of a leader long after he's dead. That is the case with this humdrum recording of tunes that Miller made famous when he was still breathing. At best, it's deceptive, at worst it's fraud. If you're looking for vintage recordings, look elsewhere. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide

Benny Goodman
This Is Jazz, Vol. 4 isn't an ideal overview of Benny Goodman's seminal Columbia recordings, but it isn't bad, either. Many of the featured 16 songs are among Goodman's very best, giving novices a good idea of the sound, style and depth of his music, even if it doesn't provide an ideal context. Nevertheless, This Is Jazz doesn't intend to provide ...

Ghost bands dot the jazz circuit, as the territory is fertile for listeners who want to wax nostalgic on music the way it was. Larry O'Brien and Bob Bonis collaborated in 1992 to revive the sound of the Glenn Miller Orchestra by playing their original charts on these selections. They should be given kudos for avoiding the most overdone hits, ...
