Music reviews of Essential Glenn Miller

Music Review: A Spectactular and Much-Needed Remastering
Rating: 5 Stars

To most people the words "big band" means Glenn Miller (1901-1944.) Born in Iowa, Miller showed an early interest in music and dropped out the University of Colorado to pursue his dream of becoming a professional musician. As it happened, the dream was too small for the man: by the time of his death his was easily the best known popular musician in the world, working with a host of major musicians to create a unique, tightly harmonic sound that often involved mingling saxophones with the brass section. Not everyone was impressed, and it is true there is a certain "safeness" in Miller's mainstream swing, especially when compared with the likes of Benny Goodman and other jazz masters--but Miller frequently noted that he wanted a dance band, not a jazz band, and while he may not have created swing, he damn sure defined for an entire generation. From about 1938 to his untimely death in 1942, Glenn Miller and his orchestra played to packed houses, his records dominated the charts, and he was the first musician to receive a Gold Record. At the time of his death he was arguably the best known popular musician in the world, and while times and tastes have changed, but Miller is still known, still played, and still beloved by legions of fans the world over.

THE ESSENTIAL GLENN MILLER--well, like all collections you can argue over what should have been included and excluded. I personally feel that several selections are distinctly minor and I greatly regret the exclusion of "Sunrise Serenade." That said, however, the double CD THE ESSENTIAL GLENN MILLER is easily one of the best Miller anthologies going. The great thing about it is not so much the selection (some are indeed superior in terms of selection) as it is the absolutely marvelous remastering. Every few years some manufacturer somewhere puts out a Miller CD, and the results are usually pretty dire. Not so here. Every instrument shines clear and the harmonies are dazzlingly clear, as pristine as the moment they were first recorded. It's the best remastering of a Miller collection I have encountered to date. Strongly recommended.
