Who Was Glenn Miller?

Glenn Miller led one of the most successful and identifiable big bands of the swing era, achieving a level of commercial success in the late 1930s and early 1940s that made his orchestra one of the best selling recording acts of the period. Known for his smooth, precisely arranged sound and instantly recognisable reed section voicings, Miller's music became inseparable from the sound of the era before his mysterious disappearance over the English Channel in December 1944 while serving in the US Army Air Forces.
