  • GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA Highlights
    GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA Highlights Glenn Miller was born on March 1, 1904, in Clarinda, Iowa. Glenn Miller originally wrote the music for Moonlight Serenade (later to become his theme song) as an exercise when he was studying with noted arranger, Joseph Schilinger. The first Glenn Miller Orchestra, formed in 1937, was a financial failure. In March 1938, Glenn Miller launched his second band, and unlike the first band, it became an enormous success with multiple hit records and huge box office sales. At the height of the orchestra’s popularity, Glenn Miller disbanded his musical organization in 1942 to volunteer for the army. He then organized the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. On December 15, 1944, Major Glenn Miller took off in a single engine plane from England – against his better judgment – to precede his band to France, never to be seen again. The army officially declared him dead one year later. Due to popular demand, the Miller Estate authorized the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956. In 1941, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra had more hit records in one year, including A String of Pearls, than anybody in the history of the recording industry. Although other songs had sold over a million record copies, in 1941 Glenn Miller’s recording of Chattanooga Choo Choo received the first Gold Record ever to be awarded. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been “on the road” longer and more continuously than any other Big Band ever. The Glenn Miller Orchestra travels over 100,000 miles each year, playing nearly 300 dates.

  • “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell
    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell Glenn Miller Original release label “Sun Valley Serenade” Though Glenn Miller and His Orchestra’s well-known, robust and swinging hit “In the Mood” was recorded in 1939 (and was written even earlier), it has since come to symbolize the 1940s, World War II, and the entire Big Band Era. Its resounding success—becoming a hit twice, once in 1940 and again in 1943—and its frequent reprisal by other artists has solidified it as a time- traversing classic. Covered innumerable times, “In the Mood” has endured in two versions, its original instrumental (the specific recording added to the Registry in 2004) and a version with lyrics. The music was written (or written down) by Joe Garland, a Tin Pan Alley tunesmith who also composed “Leap Frog” for Les Brown and his band. The lyrics are by Andy Razaf who would also contribute the words to “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Honeysuckle Rose.” For as much as it was an original work, “In the Mood” is also an amalgamation, a “mash-up” before the term was coined. It arrived at its creation via the mixture and integration of three or four different riffs from various earlier works. Its earliest elements can be found in “Clarinet Getaway,” from 1925, recorded by Jimmy O’Bryant, an Arkansas bandleader. For his Paramount label instrumental, O’Bryant was part of a four-person ensemble, featuring a clarinet (played by O’Bryant), a piano, coronet and washboard. Five years later, the jazz piece “Tar Paper Stomp” by Joseph “Wingy” Manone, from 1930, beget “In the Mood’s” signature musical phrase.

Hackett had been playing music since he was about eight years old. “His first instrument was the violin. Then on to banjo & guitar!,” his son, Ernie, reminded me. “Later he switched over to trumpet & landed on cornet!” Hackett played with various groups at restaurants, hotels, ballrooms across the northeast, and in 1935 received his Musicians Union card from Local 9-535 in Boston. He formed his own group, a small band, not long afterwards, and in 1938 began recording under his own name for the Vocalion label, employing, on various dates, such sidemen as George Brunies (trombone), Brad Gowans (valve trombone), Pee Wee Russell (clarinet), Ernie Caceres (baritone sax), Eddie Condon (guitar), Johnny Blowers (drums), and Linda Keene (vocal).
