Our Take

In the grand pantheon of swing music, Glenn Miller stands as a towering figure, his melodies like a siren's call to all those who seek out the cool, sophisticated sounds of the Big Band era. And now, with the release of "We Remember Them Well," Miller's timeless classics are given a fresh, modern twist that will have both old-timers and hipsters alike tapping their feet in unison.

From the opening notes of "In the Mood," it's clear that this album is not content to rest on its laurels. The familiar brass and saxophones are still there, but they're infused with a newfound energy, a sense of urgency that propels these songs into the 21st century. Tracks like "Moonlight Serenade" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo" are given a glossy sheen that manages to pay homage to the original while also pushing the boundaries of what a Big Band record can be.

But it's not just the arrangements that shine on "We Remember Them Well." Miller's iconic vocals are as smooth as ever, his crooning adding a touch of romance to classics like "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" and "Pennsylvania 6-5000." And with guest appearances from modern-day crooners like Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jr., this album truly feels like a meeting of past and present.

In the end, "We Remember Them Well" is a loving tribute to a bygone era, but one that refuses to be trapped in amber. Glenn Miller's music lives on, and with this album, it's clear that his legacy is in good hands. So pour yourself a martini, dim the lights, and let the sounds of the Swing era wash over you once again. You won't be disappointed.
