GLENN MILLER

ARMY AIR FORCE BAND

V-DISC SESSIONS, VOLUME 2
Description:
The second of two Mister Music CDs that reissue all of the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band's V Disc recordings gets the edge over the first, due to its stronger jazz content. With top soloists in trumpeter Bobby Nichols, clarinetist Peanuts Hucko, and pianist Mel Powell, along with singer Johnny Desmond and the Crew Chiefs, Miller's huge orchestra performs such numbers as "Everybody Loves My Baby," "Poinciana," "I Hear You Screamin," "Sun Valley Jump," and "Holiday for Strings," in addition to worthy remakes of "Little Brown Jug" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo." This CD concludes with five numbers from October to November 1945, long after Glenn Miller's plane went down over the English channel. One can hear the influence of bebop on the group during "Passage Interdit" and "7 0 5," making one wonder what direction Glenn Miller's music would have gone in if he had lived. First time on compact disc, in chronological order, the complete set of V Disc recordings on two separate volumes Volume 1 is on Mr. Music 7001. Recordings derived from 3 sources: studio, dress rehearsals and "I Sustain The Wings" broadcasts.
