I heard the trumpet solo was by Graham Young who went on to play with Henry Mancini and appeared in the "band jail scene" on Andy Griffith TV Show. Was your father playing the solo or maybe 1st trumpet?
@@dept2 Henry Mancini had auditioned for the AAF Orchestra, but Capt. Miller already had a teenage-prodigy pianist in the form of Mel Powell. Even so, he took on Mancini for one of the "satellite" bands associated with the main AAF Orchestra. After the war Mancini worked for Tex as an arranger and pianist. Hank never lost his love for big bands. When he formed his own studio group in the 1960s he hired a number of alumni from the two Miller bands as well as from Beneke's group. Makes you wonder if Mancini would have been working with Miller himself, if only things had been different that cold December afternoon.
nice release by your father at the end of the solo, as he jumps to high F and then releases to high G. My Dad played with the big names in that era also on Trumpet.
Beautiful music. It saddens me that most the people in this amazing "music video" had died...but at least their beautiful creation lives forever in people's heart... ❤❤❤
Somehow this makes me wanna cry because Glenn. Miller is gone Edit: especially right here. 0:01 - 0:45 Something about this is just a bit emotional. I added more space around the time stamps because sometime it could be a pain to press it. lol Also, strangely I had a dream where I took my grandma and grandpas hand and took them to a stand to sit down, then I started to conduct his band as they played moonlight serenade exactly like he did in this video, it’s weird.....
@@tofiliyoung3711 Even sadder, the latest research done by the University of Colorado (his alma mater) turned up documents indicating the crash was totally avoidable. The airplane had a defective fuel system but it was allowed in the air anyway. The flight itself was unauthorized but no one flagged that violation of AAF regulations. And finally the pilot wasn't trained for bad-weather flying but agreed to travel anyway. If ANYONE had followed normal safety rules, he might have been with us well into the 1960s or 70s.
There are plenty of good songs currently, some of them are more obscure, but they're are certainly some out there. And take this into account, we live in a time where we can listen to all kinds of music from times dating back to 1400 BC! Its amazing when you look at it that way.
You must have some great stories! If you haven't already done so, would you have any interest in joining the Glenn Miller Birthplace Society in Clarinda and/or attending the festival that's held there every summer? I've been going there for about 15 years, it's an awesome experience because many of the world's top Miller historians are there - Dennis Spragg, Ed Polic among others.
0:57 It’s a summer night and you hop on your Xbox and start to play Fallout 4. Ah the good old times. But also I’m not here because of fallout I’m here because this song is FREAKIN Awesome and good quality
Actually, Miller's band was gradually reduced in importance within the billing of the band from the very beginning. At first, record labels read "Glenn Miller Orchestra, under the direction of Tex Beneke". By '46, labels read "Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra". Finally, by '47, record labels and theater date advertisements simply read "Tex Beneke and his Orchestra". In any case, the official Glenn Miller orchestras to this day are controlled by his estate. McKinley simply fronted the GMO; he didn't organize it.
Con esa melodía tan hermosa y esa orquesta, yo hubiese querido existir en ese año con 18 años, y conoser al amor de mi vida., No existiría en el 2018, pero para estar viviendo esta porqueria que estamos viviendo, donde ya los hombres compiten en reinados de mujeres, y con esa ideología satánica, y la pérdida de los valores familiares, donde la tecnología es la niñera de los niños, era mejor haber vivido en esos tiempos, donde el amor y la comunicación si existía entre padres he hijos y los valores familiares, eran la prioridad. Época de oro
??? This soundie is from 1946, only a few years after the height of the big band era. About 2/3 of the musicians had been with the Miller civilian or AAF orchestras so none of them were exactly geezers. Tex himself was only 32.
I have always loved the older classic music including Tex Beneke and of course Glen Miller
Thats my dad on trumpet..first time I have ever seen this ...LOVE IT MIke Leone
That’s so cool!
That's great !!

@@Poisson4147 Yes, and Mancini did some of the music for The Glenn Miller Story movie too.
Best music ever. Thank goodness it remains available for posterity via the internet. England, September, 2024.
TODAY ON MARCH 22 2012 MY DAD MIKE LEONE IS 90 AND STILL GOING STRONG @ 2:07 TRUMPET SOLO
Kat Wright nbolo
How’s he now
nice release by your father at the end of the solo, as he jumps to high F and then releases to high G. My Dad played with the big names in that era also on Trumpet.
He passed away in September 7,2012 . Not long after I found this. He is so missed😔
Beautiful music. It saddens me that most the people in this amazing "music video" had died...but at least their beautiful creation lives forever in people's heart... ❤❤❤
They’re all dead now, which is sad. If only they were here now
I love this uptempo version
I'll watch anything with Tex in it. What a great player and not really known in the UK at all. Sad.
Tex always played the Miller standards at a much faster tempo. He always allowed his drummers to drive the band at a harder tempo and add great fills.
Yup. Though this tempo makes it sound more groovy.
I prefer the original Miller tempo. This sounds like Beneke is in a hurry.
Ha Ha!! 3:01 is hilarious, the violins play one note, then wipe the sweat from their brows.
Wow! I have 20 minutes version on Super 8. Great performance! Love it!
Somehow this makes me wanna cry because Glenn. Miller is gone
Edit: especially right here.

To me the disappearance of Glenn Miller gave a sad but somewhat spooky feeling, his Moonlight Serenade will never be the same after his disappearance

Great music,great times.
:( That mention at the beginning of Miller being missing in flight.
A never forgetting time will always be.
"In the Mood" starts at 0:46. I'm a college student and I have come to find that Glenn Miller's music helps me study better
love this up-beat version.
A bit too fast for me.
Great Quality!!, Some Nice Restoration!
This is a great version, love it
🥰🤩🤣💖👍💕💯💯👏👏Brasil Anápolis 🇧🇷
QUANDO VEJO UMA BELA ORQUESTRA EXECUTANDO OBRAS MÚSICAIS DE GLENN MILLER, IMPOSSIVEL DEIXAR DE OUVIR E VER.
Да, это популярная классика джаза послевоенных лет. Спасибо блогеру за память о Г.Миллере, трагически и нелепо погибшем в декабре 1944г.
That's my Uncle John Graas on French horn !
I wonder how many people have met their spouse dancing to this song? :)
2:10 You really can't find dynamics like that in any "song" nowadays.

Claus- Mother 3- you’re correct
i agreeeeee!
My father was John halliburton playing the trombone on this video

my favoraite scene 3:19
It's like the original Glenn Miller performance on cocaine! in a good way...
3:19 my favourite part
1:50 Who are the other two saxiphone players with Tex?
Love the violin section wipe their brow.
Was that Sal Libero on Tenor Sax?
Believe that's Jack Sperling playing drums
#ugottalisten2b4udie It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now."
@JUNIORWHOPPER
No where!, I just opened it up and it plays ok
Гленн Миллер!
who's on first trumpet?
2:20 Nice flip!
Tex led the band until 1950 when he had to remove Glenn's name from his band billing. Ray Mckinley formed a completely new band in 1955.
Actually, Miller's band was gradually reduced in importance within the billing of the band from the very beginning. At first, record labels read "Glenn Miller Orchestra, under the direction of Tex Beneke". By '46, labels read "Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra".

McKinley simply fronted the GMO; he didn't organize it.
I love it, but I find it a bit fast.
Brilliant performance. Most modern day popular performers are just so fake compared to this talent.

where's Glenn Miller?
His plane was lost over the English Channel , Dec 15,1944
Is it me or was this song in a Tom & Jerry episode , but which one?
I was born in the wrong generation. I should be born before the Fed was created.
look at all the double chins. Either way it's pretty good.

lmao
Glen millers version is better than tex benekes
