What can we say about Glenn Miller that has not been said countless times before?
Everyone knows the story, the struggle to find his sound, the great success of wonderful songs such as In The Mood, and Moonlight Serenade, how he signed up to the US Army and was lost while flying over the English Channel in 1944 on his way to meet his band in Paris.
Thankfully we still have the music and AVID prides itself on its extensive re-mastered Glenn Miller catalogue from which we have drawn many classic songs to present the latest in our Essential Collection double CD series.
