On first glance, this CD may appear to be a greatest-hits package since many of the songs were recorded by Glenn Miller's Orchestra in the studios, but actually the set contains (in chronological order) many of Miller's most historic radio performances. Starting with his theme "Moonlight Serenade" from the band's opening appearance at the Glen Island Casino (when they were unknown), one can experience from song-to-song the quick rush to success, a New Year's Eve version of "In the Mood," and a classic rendition of "Chattanooga Choo Choo" (with Miller being awarded the first Gold record in history), all the way up to the announcement of Miller's entry into the Army, a surprise guest appearance by Harry James and Glenn Miller's emotional farewell to the audience. This is an essential release for anyone with an interest in Glenn Miller's music and life. ~ Scott Yanow
Glenn Miller, from the evidence, the continuity, the popularity, the way his music
keeps the legend living, rates almost anyone's list of unforgotten artists of the past half-century.
Listen to this "sound." You may not start to shag or Lindy Hop or practice "truckin',"...but odds
on, if you still have enough energy left, you'll be drawing mental pictures, clapping hands and snapping fingers.
This is a "Legendary Performer" and the way he and his band were "live." Glenn Miller-more than a memory...
still a presence. ~ Mort Goode, 1991

Music, in the best sense, does not require novelty; nay, the older it is and the more we are accustomed to it, the greater it's effect. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1794-1832)
