Moonlight Serenade is another good one, played in a lot of old movies

[@christyhammancaballero2438]

That picture is not Glen Miller, it’s actor Jimmy Stewart who played Glen in The Glen Miller Story.

[@scottmoquin]

I was just about to mention that.

[@baileysgrammy]

Good movie

[@QuicknStraight]

@@baileysgrammy Great movie!

[@PC4USE1]

A great movie and my introduction to Glen Miller. Jimmy Stewart played it to perfection.

[@user-sx7wo1yl7y]

Yep. I would love to know how he ended up with this photo instead of the real Glenn. I mean, I know there was a movie (and a good one) with Stewart in the lead, but... really??? Before he posts a picture of Andy Kaufmann as Elvis, my viewership ends here...

[@ragjamrock]

This song is swing jazz built around the 12 bar blues. Glen sadly disappeared while flying over to France to perform for the troops during WW2. He was never found.😢🎶

[@ccbearcreek]

The Glenn Miller Story. Great, old movie starring Jimmy Stewart.

[@kve1247]

I can’t believe ur playing this!! My mother used to love it & since my daughter loves classic music/movies, she has fallen in love w/it as well!! What a classic gem!🫶🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

This is big band era 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@darrellmfume4020]

Glen Miller, Gene Krupa, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Cab Calloway, Quincy Jones, Chick Webb, Tommy Dorsey. so MANY others, but these are just to name a few. were TOP bandleaders back in the day. TOP bandleaders of the 30's, 40's, and 1950's. were the movie stars of the music business.

[@SopranoSistah]

Nothing but a classic here. Swiiiiing. I can see my young grandparents now.🎼🎶🎵🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️

[@ccbearcreek]

This music is great in a live setting.

[@alexanderromalo7153]

A lot of the recent re-makes and alternate sources to the original big-band orchestras of this era are pretty tame renditions (as this was) compared to the original recordings done live in the studio or gig. "Swing" music crossed all socio-economic barriers. EVERYBODY danced. A great era in music history in my opinion.

[@williamisenberger1073]

There was a guy named Stan Kenton you should check out from this period. Very out there for its time. Blaring trumpets,complex arrangements, my dad's favorite actually, and he was a trumpet player in the 40s and 50s

[@liquidationkingla5706]

#JustJammin ... The Picture you have up is the Actor Jimmy Steward who played Glenn Miller in the Movie about his life....

[@JustJammin]

Oh okay.

[@themajicman745]

My kind of music!

[@maggynewtown3500]

Glenn Miller had a big band, heavy on the horns. He joined the US Army during WW2. and kept on touring . His plane disappeared over the English Channel and was never recovered.

[@stephenpreble2446]

You just hit the gold mine.

[@ShawnC.T.]

This is a timeless CLASSIC here, great request and reaction, Glenn Miller is legendary...

[@gmanette188]

Big Band...yes...he disappeared during WW 2 when the plane he was on went missing. He had been in Europe entertaining the troops. Thanks much

[@darrellmfume4020]

actor James Stewart played him/Glen Miller, in the Glen Miller story. GOOD MOVIE.

[@kve1247]

@@darrellmfume4020 very good movie!👌🏽👍🏽

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Really great to see young bucks like yourself dipping into this Golden Music from the WWII generation! How about some Duke Ellington "A TRAIN"...total rocker!

[@cpete2976]

One of the best songs of the 20th century. Catchy with great instrumentation

[@musicman9914]

Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jad4680]

benny goodman was my favourite swing time jazz guy really balls'y and dynamic "SING SING SING" for reaction great song. ; )

[@phonebone81]

I'm not a big jazz fan and I'm not a child of the 30s either, but I can understand that a lot of modern jazz and also some blues titles refer to this type of music. Today I like this kind of music that big bands play a lot and especially when modern big bands play these old songs - I used to think it was more for the older generation - now I like big bands with songs from Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra and of course Bert Kaempfert who wrote some of the best songs like "New York-New York" for Frank Sinatra...and some more. Thanks for bringing the history into today. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

[@stevenstockham6577]

I dragged my Japanese Wife to see their show live in Seattle last month. Love from beginning to end. Their lead sax player was from Tokyo. What a blast. Feels your vibe ain't mine but no thing but ❤. I miss soul music so much.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Memories of watching those old black and white movies on a Saturday night during my childhood.. back in the 1950's

[@webbtrekker534]

That is why there is so much music. Not everyone likes everything. But, the smile on your face as you were listening told me that you didn't hate it. I'm 78 years old and I enjoy seeing todays young people discovering the older music. The music that eventually transitioned into what is listened to today. Music is much more than just drums and guitars played loudly. This music comes from an era where to socialize with your peers you went to dance halls and clubs This is dance music where you got to hold your girlfriend/boyfriend in your arms and be with your friends and hear great music. Thanks for listening!

[@rosemarywatson1231]

FYI. the picture is not Glenn Miller. It's the actor James Stewart who played the role of Glenn Miller. I love this song and both Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. Strictly dance music.

[@ladycharliestallworth2280]

You are absolutely right, I remember seeing the movie years ago with James Stewart.

[@rosemarywatson1231]

@@ladycharliestallworth2280 The Benny Goodman movie was good too. Lionel Hampton was in that one.

[@mikecaetano]

"In The Mood" was written by Joe Garland in 1938 based on a riff from "Tar Paper Stomp" by Wingy Manone from 1930. Glenn Miller experimented with the arrangement trimming the song from six minutes to four minutes and generating an iconic piece of music in the process. Its peppy uptempo vibe kept American spirits high during WWII. There is a lot going on with the song musically. The arpeggios glam up chord changes evoking the twelve bar blues, while the rhythm still swings like a fox trot even as it strives towards a rock and roll beat still over a decade away. Glenn Miller's best music reminds me of my grandparents generation -- "Moonlight Serenade", "A String of Pearls", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Pennsylvania 6-5000", along with "In The Mood". His lesser music is still fun but it reminds me of a 1950's burlesque show too. LOL.

[@carriesmith742]

This is the first CD I bought at age 16. I was a jazz trumpeter and French horn player in my youth. This song is ICONIC to all jazz instrumentalists! I've literally played 3 of the 4 trumpet parts in my musical career! The lower parts are actually harder, fingering-wise. 😊

[@2299jsimon]

My Father and Mother were young in the thirties and they loved to dance.... they are still alive and love the music of their era...

[@2299jsimon]

The secret to a long life, laugh, dance, enjoy life and praise God!

[@vanessaseymour2634]

There is a current jazz singer, Samara Joy, who won the 2023 Grammy for Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album. She has an official music video for 'Guess Who I Saw Today?', the Nancy Wilson classic, and her Grammy pre-show performance of 'Can't Get Out Of This Mood'.

[@geoffrey4253]

My Parents used to dance to this back in the 40's they called it swing.

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

This one is one of the most famous jazz songs. I have used to have a 45 of pretend chickens squawking along to "In the Mood". Hmm, I wonder if I could track it down. Haven't heard it for forty-plus years....

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

Yep! Ray Stevens, of course, as The Henhouse Five Plus Two: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLZf4GDrL17aZo

[@Uncle_Remus420]

Right on. Good on you!

[@yambo59]

Big band era and this song is called "in the mood" by Glenn Millers band - him and Benny Goodman were just two of many great bands from back then, no electric guitars or amplifiers just big sound right out of the instruments

[@lesblatnyak5947]

They asked Chris Squire of Yes what makes a great tune, he replied If it Swings its great.

[@mitchwinthrop]

man this was every junior high school band's first public performance.

[@maggynewtown3500]

The Lindy Hop was 20 years before.

[@johnneils9084]

Here for this! A day late not a dollar short. Love this request & enjoyed the reaction. 💛👍🎺🎷✨✨✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶✨🌛

[@sallybahner3464]

Jimmy Stewart in the photo; he played Glenn Miller in the Glenn Miller Story. Keep listening -- the music is amazing. The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra (reconstituted in response to the movie in the mid-50s) continues to perform all over the world.

[@sallybahner3464]

Have you listened to Moonlight Serenade? To me, it's the most exquisite song ever written. Versions abound on KZbin, but check out the one by Rui Barbosa, accompanied by wonderful graphics. (Yeah, I'm old...)

[@davidrichards6509]

Glen Miller was a commisioned officer in the US Army Air Corp during World War II and toured European battlefields as the Director of the US Army Air Force Band. He was on a flight to a performance when his plane disappeared. The crash site has to this day NEVER been found and Captain Glen Miller as well as everyone else on the plane are still officially designated by the United States Military as "missing in action" (MIA)

[@SavedChampion]

People danced to this music. Real dancing, holding onto one another. Except those guys who had two left feet.

[@user-jy3ni2gf1o]

My dad rote this song in the Navy and Glen Miller made it big

[@tombreeden595]

My Mom's favorite among the big bands.

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Glenn Miller was good but BENNY GOODMAN was AWESOME, also, check out FLETCHER HENDERSON ( who stopped touring and joined Goodman's operation), DUKE ELLINGTON and CHICK WEBB!

[@SWDetboy]

Glen Miller is one of the Biggest selling recording artists of the 20th Century.. Swing/Big Band Orchestra music of the 1920s, 30s & 40s, was the Rock N Roll of that cool era, & it grew & changed to a different time & sound starting in the middle 1950s to this day.. Wow! Good for you! You got good taste & a great expanding music Heart! This stuff is even before my time, but one would still hear this stuff at parties. Glenn Miller & a handful of other Legendary Band Leaders of his time still live on forever Thank God..

If a person threw in a bit if rap you'd have another hit! 🎤🎶🎼📀📯🎷🎺

[@markstanton2362]

check out " Begin the Beguine" by Artie Shaw

[@AP-gb3eh]

Dance halls and big bands

[@Lensmaster1]

This is a very smooth song. To hear some big band with more grit listen to Benny Goodman's band do Sing Sing Sing.

[@atimtambaby]

Don't worry about the complaints of the incorrect picture where it is Jimmy Stewart dressed up as (including the glasses) and playing Glenn Miller as opposed to Miller himself. This being a Reaction video where you have never heard of Miller before, why would you question the picture's validity. You are providing a valuable service, my young brother, and us old farts who are aware of errors should graciously point them out instead of ridiculing. Let's all take ourselves a bit les seriously.

[@terenzo50]

Just so you know -- that picture is NOT Glenn Miller, it's actor Jimmy Stewart who played Glenn Miller in The Glenn Miller Story (1954). Miller was killed by a combination of mechanical failure, bad weather and/or pilot error over the English Channel in December 1944. According to the British, the Luftwaffe was not involved. Big Band Swing music was building through the 1930s and reached its highest point with the January 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert featuring the Benny Goodman orchestra and others. It was recorded. Give it a listen -- they blew the roof off the place! It's music to Beat the Nazis By!

[@brettbauer358]

Big band my guy

[@curtisbarrow7650]

This is one of the few songs I really think is better LIVE. It has a power that is just lacking a bit in the studio version.

[@sallybahner3464]

I heard the World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra perform twice. It was a religious experience!

[@thomasjacques5286]

This is the music that got America through WWII

[@MrJohnTeacher]

Back when men and women danced 'together' rather than 'at' one another.

[@samuelgates5935]

Glen Miller would go to black jazz clubs and listen to swing music, copy what he heard, tweaked it, and was named to "king of swing."🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Swing was being played 20 years before(black jazz clubs) being introduced to major white audiences. Just like blues, rock and roll, ragtime and gospel.

[@joecarlino7870]

EVERYBODY has heard this song, no?

[@JustJammin]

Nope, you can never assume everyone has heard a specific song.

[@user-jy3ni2gf1o]

They cut the vocals from this song in this version

[@cameronmuhic5735]

Not one of the better recordings. I bet this was done in the 50s or 60s. The original in the 30s was a lot more sparkling.

[@willisgordon2449]

Why on earth would you thuink it was respectful to play that rap crap to introduce one of musics classics????

[@JustJammin]

lol!

[@lizbrown6943]

It's White people version of jazz. Remember segregation was at the time. I hear slight funky sound with Black bands. Watered down blues is rock. The lindy dance is what I see mainly Black folks. Whites were still hung up on dancing non sexual.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

Watered down blues? White people"s version of jazz? Time for you to update your apps regarding music.. and a few other things. Rock branched off from rock n roll which already had the beat and the energy. Rock also made electric guitars more prominent in the music from the 1960's onward. By the way, I was there to witness that music revolution.

[@samuelgates5935]

@@PapaEli-pz8ff So you're a CRT(critical race theorist) So let's talk rock, you're trying to tell the world that WHITE PEOPLE didn't burn BLACK ARTISTS records, announce public barn fires over radio stations!!! You're CLAIMING this NEVER HAPPENED!! Rock music was called "n*gger music" PUBLICLY!!! Read a book junior! My parents were from Alabama and Mississippi(born 1922 and 1909) where WHITE KIDS snuck off to the wood shack clubs to her BLACK MUSIC.(whites were not allowed to play like us...in public) That's were swing, rock originated. Even your boy Jerry Lee Lewis spoke of this! How he'd sneak to the back woods and see BLACK piano players playing with their feet(something he put into his act!) Man I can on and on but YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@samuelgates5935]

@Liz Brown: You teach sister! Water down music is what they played, cause they lack SOUL! World famous saxophonist, Dexter Gordon tells the story of a white boy, who came to one of his shows. Dexter said after his set, the white boy came up to the stage and asked "Mr. Gordon...Mr.Gordon, what notes were you playing." Dexter replied, "You play," "Yes" he said. Dexter asked, "Do you own a saxophone" "Yes" he said to that...Well, Dexter said, "The same notes that are my saxophone, are on yours!" With that, Dexter walked off the stage! The moral of the story is white people have long history of stealing our music, tweaking it, then calling it theirs. How in the world is Benny Goodman, the "king of swing" when Duke, Count and Cab where doing it 20 years before?
