You’re 26 now haha time flies. I’m 45 now and I grew up in the 80’s with my dad playing this in the house, and when I was a little kid I loved this music and still do!
My Father played with Mal Hallett in the 1930,s and Glenn Miller was his lead. I am now 66 and tho I grew up in Woodstock age this Big Band image is all me. Spot on Glenn Miller.
learnt american patrol today, and in the mood a few wks ago, im only startin out playin sax but i LOVE it and i love this timeless music... and i'm 17! Long live Glenn :-)
Aquí en mi País México, en los 50, en la Radio los fines de semana habia una estacion que trasmitia melodias de Glenn Miller, en las fiestas las Orquestas locales tocaban música de Miller, ya en los 60, con la frecuencia F M, de mas fidelidad en varias Radiofusoras se escuchava diariamente, despues llegaron a nuestro País los discos ( gravaciones ) del Maestro Ray Conniff, y James Last. GRANDIOSO TRES ICONOS DE LA EXELENTE MUSICA MELODICA.¡ EN MEMORIA ! 2/8/19. saludos. 🇲🇽 .
This, dear ones, is MUSIC, w/a capital "M!" So wish it were pushed, featured and played more, however. Many of the musicians are young, which shows there may be hope! How gives a fig if the band is from Holland or Finland or wherever -- it's OURS in the good ole' U S of A. Best we remember our heritage and history, guys. When our STL "BLUES" skate on the ice, St. Louie Blues is played -- still gives me a thrill!!
The delightful young lady with the Sax solo -- what a treat! Wonder what Glenn would say? Delighted I'm sure! Sadly--IMHO, the drummer lacks the enthusiasm of the other band members. But love the sound, none-the-less!!
Glen Miller was the pop music star of his age and his music has been played and enjoyed over 65 years. I wonder how much of the pop charts will be played, live by bands, in 50 years from now? I genuinely feel sorry for the kids who will have to put up with the quality of the tripe in the charts these days and have to tell their kids that was the music they listened to.
I want this played at the end of my funeral ..... plenty of Swing Music. If my son allows Celine Dion or Witney Houston to be played I will haunt him!!!! He's been warned. Swing, Andrews Sisters even Big Bottomed Girls, then down the pub for a few pints of Spifire:)
Now this band is very good! You know, it's kind of hard to compare these later recreations of Mr. Miller's famous recordings because as a collect of big band music for 40 years now, one thing I've noticed--and I don't hear it mentioned often, is the original recordings seemed to have more "punch" (if not fidelity!) as they were recorded in mono. In stereo, the instruments are heard more clearly but they don't always have that inexplicable "oomph" or pulse the mono recordings had. You know? Thanks for sharing this great performance!
@km426: You're right. This vid is from the "European" Glenn Miller Orchestra. They play in lisence from the Glenn Miller foundation in the US. There are 3 or 4 orchestras wolrdwide which are allowed to have the name "Original Glenn Miller Orchestra" as trademark
Impressive performance! This is my favorite number from Glenn Miller's repertoire and you played it perfectly! Hats off! Considering that Glenn could hire the best musicians in the business at the time, you should be proud!
Well, in WW2 the industry's best musicians where not hired, but drafted. They joined Miller's Army Air Force Band because the chances to survive the war were much higher there than elsewhere in the military.
oh man, those must have been the great days... music was relaxing, not causing pain in your ears, drummers just drummed and didn't slam their sticks at their drums, everybody was so chill about the music... why couldn't I be born earlier?
There are actually at least three offical Glenn Miller Orchestra's. One in the USA, one in Germany (this one) and one in the UK led by Ray McVay. I have seen the UK orchestra three times and they are brilliant. This music is real music unlike a lot of the rubbish we from todays so called music stars
LETS GO BLUE! I hope all NHL Teams understand when this is played they are playing on of the most storied franchises in NHL History and with the most playoff game.
In the 1950-60s someone did it Glenn Miller bio pic ,they could play the notes perfectly, they didn't have the right bounce or swing or something,had to ask some of the old retired guys, how did you do this, they found the right sound
As I understand it, Miller was supposed to have all military music at a group inspection, then Miller unexpectedly redirected the marching band to play this song. His commanding officer was aghast, for embarrassing him in front of this general, but the general loved it, thinking it was great for the soldiers' morale. Then arrangements were made to gather all of Miller's musicians who had entered military service so they could continue to serve boosting military morale.
@guitboxchicken Glenn millers band has been around since the late 1930s. After he vanished in 1943/44 WWII from England flying to France, a mysterious cover up by the military..no surprise here! Millers wife kept the band going and that is why they sound just as good as they did back then. Watch the Glenn miller story, and the Benny Goodman story, both are awesome.
Miller war seiner Zeit immer zwei schritte vorraus, für mich ist er der Vater aller Bigbands, und der Modernen Blasmusik, nur schade das es so ein tragisches ende nehmen muste
I AM drum & bass player ,, now looking at the posts here a lot of guys & gals say there is some thing missing ,,,,,,,,,, yes i agree . its soul & heart yes they are very good , but playing from music sheet is (( cold very cold
The problem is that they are playing it too fast--the tempo is way too quick. It should be a lot slower with huge rolling snares, rim shots, bass drum/cymbal blasts--it should be played with forceful reverence.
I'd like to agree with you in a sense, good sir. However let's keep in mind it IS* a March, so Marches tend to be in a bit of a quicker pace. I will respect that it IS a song with the Blues* title in it. But then again, we all have different tastes and opinions.
@tripleheshy well does 14 count as a younger generation? olol just kidding. jazz= 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000(modern)^2

This song is so great. I'm a trumpet player myself and I play this song in my school band. (Different version) And it's just, this song is so great!!
Awesome !!
Wunderbar !! :-)
Pro Škopkovo orchestr,který kdysi hrál v Pekle-děkujeme,byl jsi naše útěcha,vzpomíáme celý život.Plzeň.
I was sitting here in 2020 drinking my whisky and then I found myself in a dance hall listening to this song in 1945.

I love this piece so much. Especially the Glenn Miller arrangement (i.e. this one) I also like the Bari sax ;-)
THESE GUYS ARE GREAT.
i love that trombone section!!!!
fantastik
I want this played at the end of my funeral ..... plenty of Swing Music. If my son allows Celine Dion or Witney Houston to be played I will haunt him!!!! He's been warned. Swing, Andrews Sisters even Big Bottomed Girls, then down the pub for a few pints of Spifire:)

this movie always makes me think of 'a soldier's story'. at the end when they are marching, it is playing over the credits.
Brilliant. Was thinking the same thing. A fantastic end to a movie!!
My father in law had Alzheimer's,wheelchair , couldn't talk anymore,doing well,I put this stuff on , lit right up , big smile

They KILLIN' it y'all.......
Excellent!! So many of these ghost bands can be a bit disaPPOINTING BUT THIS ONE IS GREAT!wish they would come to Calgary
I love this band, I saw them this year, and I think they had some major lineup changes, many different players.
El ¡ INMORTAL ! Glenn Miller, éxtraordinario, ¡ EN MEMORIA ! .
Let's go Blues!
I have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)
I remember listening to this play as the into to Blues games growing up. Dan Kelly, Gus Kyle, and old time hockey...
Toda una gran interpretaciòn de este gran clàsico de siempre.
I love old music
Good for you, you got good taste in music.
Respect
@saxesrus Oh yeah! I was the only alto sax player that was female in my highschool band. ^_^ It's an awesome thing.
Being retired USAF this always brings to my mind a Pass & Review.
oh man, those must have been the great days... music was relaxing, not causing pain in your ears, drummers just drummed and didn't slam their sticks at their drums, everybody was so chill about the music...
why couldn't I be born earlier?
Mindestens so gut wie die Originalaufnahme Glen Millers !
They all sound so crisp! From a 2007 video no less
bellissima !!!

Hell yeah
Love it !
Hockey night in Saint Louis!
Porfavor suban nuevamente este concierto completo gracias
Damn, those were, the, days
По моему это лучшее исполнение знаменитого блюза!
Well that was only amazing, if they ever come to Dublin, somebody had better tell me !!
bravo!
To the bone
0:51 these trombones are great!!!
yeah, this orchestra was put together ten years after he died, and they get new players all the time.
Exactly what is normal? Just because you wouldn't do those moves doesn't mean you're normal. Enjoy the video and music or don't watch it.
Epic
In the 1950-60s someone did it Glenn Miller bio pic ,they could play the notes perfectly, they didn't have the right bounce or swing or something,had to ask some of the old retired guys, how did you do this, they found the right sound
@guitboxchicken i'm 14 and i love this stuff!
65% perfect
Yo creo que en perfección llegan al 95%. Glenn Miller, ¡ EN MEMORIA !
I can't hear this song and not think of the St. Louis Blues. just the opening horn part gets me amped to watch some hockey.

the sax player next to baritone saxer looks so sneaky!
Based on St.Louis Blues by W.C. Handy btw.
I agree
Bari Sax for the win!!!
Right you are,swing
Freedom and flippin' democracy incoming!
I AM drum & bass player ,, now looking at the posts here a lot of guys & gals say there is some thing missing ,,,,,,,,,, yes i agree . its soul & heart yes they are very good , but playing from music sheet is (( cold very cold

p.s.I'm not playing it I mean on my phone
👍👍👍😊
Me gusta con esta banda la canción chatanuga chu chu
I'm not crazy about the gimmickry of the trombone section, but otherwise this is a great piece. I'd love to see this band live.
this is the first time I've seen so many old people in the same room and there was no buffet involved.
Wonderfulandloevabalemusik

Love the music, but what's with the horn section? Ants in their pants?
he has an odd way of playing it,
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT HE DIED HE IS ALIVE OUT THERE MAKING MORE MUSIC. Just kidding, but a real shame he went m.i.a : (
Ein glen miller hätte gesagt nein das ist es nicht. Ganz weit vom original.
musica musica musica eso es musica nacossu servidor el pelochas
The problem is that they are playing it too fast--the tempo is way too quick. It should be a lot slower with huge rolling snares, rim shots, bass drum/cymbal blasts--it should be played with forceful reverence.
