Our Take

Step aside, hipsters and indie rock fans, because we are about to dive into the swinging world of Glenn Miller with the "GLENN MILLER Memorial Album". This 2-disc compilation is a 1947 release that pays tribute to the legendary bandleader and jazz musician who revolutionised the big band sound.

As soon as you press play, you are transported back to the Golden Age of swing, where Miller's smooth melodies and infectious rhythms dominate the airwaves. Tracks like "In the Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade" are classics for a reason, and they still sound as fresh and exciting as they did over 70 years ago.

Miller's signature sound is front and centre on this album, with his tight arrangements and impeccable musicianship shining through on every track. The way he blends brass and saxophones with the swinging rhythm section is a masterclass in orchestration, and it's no wonder he became a household name during his time.

While some may argue that Miller's music is a relic of a bygone era, there's no denying the sheer joy and energy that emanates from every note on this album. So grab your dancing shoes, put on your best swing dress, and let "GLENN MILLER Memorial Album" take you on a musical journey back to the height of the big band era. Trust us, you won't regret it.
