Гленн Миллер (англ. Alton Glenn Miller, 1 марта 1904 — 15 декабря 1944) — американский тромбонист, аранжировщик,
руководитель одного из лучших свинговых оркестров (конец 30-х — начало 40-х годов).

Now THIS is a box set! Every single Bluebird recording by the great bandleader, Glenn Miller, all in one convenient compact set. Thirteen CD's in all, and everyone packed to the max with music every bit as alive today as it was over 60 years ago. This is the sound that defined a generation and an era, all from one man who knew what the record buying and jukebox playing public wanted to hear.
Just so you know, every charted song Mr. Miller released is here - all 127 charted hits - except two: Solo Hop on the Columbia label, and Every Day's A Holiday which was on the Brunswick label (hence the reason for these two numbers not being included - they are not Bluebird or Victor releases!). Plus so many more songs that are, to me, every bit as good as the hits. Along with that there are some very good alternate takes on disc 13.
The main reason, however, to purchase this set above the others is the sound quality of the tunes. It is a truly remarkable sound that RCA has been able to pull off of the original (lacquer?) discs. You'd swear the songs were recorded 30 years after the fact - the sound is that good. A full bass, no ear piercing highs (nice and crisp as they should be), and the mid range sounds just right. Not a click or a pop within ear shot.
Is this set pricey? Well, yeah. I guess it is.
But is it worth the price being asked? Every penny!
This is one set that RCA did absolutely perfect, including the extremely informative booklet (141 pages!).
This is one set that, heaven forbid, if anything should happen to it, I would replace it in a heartbeat (house payment be damned!).
A treasure trove filled with gems from the past by the master of the WWII sound.
I'm sure Glenn would approve.
