Glenn Miller discography

Between 1938 and 1944, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra released 266 singles on the monaural ten-inch
shellac 78 rpm format. Their studio output comprised a variety of musical styles inside of the Swing genre,
Glenn Miller and His
including ballads, band chants, dance instrumentals, novelty tracks, songs adapted from motion pictures, and, Orchestra discography
as the Second World War approached, patriotic music.

Non-instrumental songs featured Miller's various vocalists, generally Ray Eberle or Marion Hutton before
1940, with Tex Beneke, vocal group The Modernaires, and Skip Nelson all making studio vocal appearances
after the turn of the decade. Beginning with An Album of Outstanding Arrangements in 1945, this collection
has been repackaged into various album formats over time with release on 78 rpm, 10 and 12 inch LP, 7 inch
45 rpm, compact cassette, 8-track, compact disc (CD), and digital formats.

Before his popularity, in the late 1920s, Miller played or wrote arrangements for many hot jazz groups,
including a stint as a trombonist-arranger for Red Nichols’ famed Five Pennies recordings.

Radio format:
In sharing air time with the Andrews Sisters for the early Chesterfield Shows, the Miller band had nine minutes to present its music. Miller instituted
medleys of Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue into the band's broadcasts to enable it to play as much as
possible.[63] This medley tradition continued into both later programs and the Army Air Force band's radio broadcasts.

Sample Glenn Miller medley, June 19, 1940 Cincinnati, Ohio, Chesterfield show with a Jerry Gray arrangement of all tracks:

Old – "The Touch of Your Hand" (Generally an older song)

New – "Basket Weaver Man" (A way to introduce a new song, written by Joe McCarthy and Walter Donaldson)

Borrowed – "The Waltz You Saved For Me" (Themes or songs made famous by other bands/bandleaders; Borrowed from bandleader Wayne King, written by
King, Gus Kahn and Emil Flindt)

Blue – "Blue Danube" ("Blue" in title, written by Johann Strauss, Jr., 1867)[64]

Recordings as sideman, arranger, and leader: 1926–1938

The first authenticated recordings made by Glenn Miller were in 1926. In the fall of 1926, Earl Baker, a cornetist, made recordings on cylinders
using the Edison Standard Phonograph recording device, making the first recordings of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Fud Livingston. Miller
and Goodman were both in the Ben Pollack and his Californians band at that time. The Ben Pollack band was in Chicago, Illinois, to make studio
recordings for Victor. The Baker cylinders are available on the album "The Legendary Earl Baker Cylinders", released by the Jazz Archives record
label as JA43 in 1979. The songs performed included "Sleepy Time Gal", "Sister Kate", "After I Say I'm Sorry", and "Sobbin' Blues".[65]

"When I First Met Mary" – recorded on December 9, 1926 in Chicago as part of Ben Pollack and his Californians which featured
Benny Goodman on clarinet. The recording was released as Victor 20394.
"He's the Last Word" – recorded on December 12, 1926 with Ben Pollack and featuring a solo by Benny Goodman
"Room 1411 (Goin' to Town)" – Miller's first known composition, written with Benny Goodman in 1928 and recorded with Miller's
peers was released on 78 as Brunswick 4013.
"Solo Hop" – composed by Glenn Miller in 1935 when he began recording under his own name which features a trumpet solo by
Bunny Berigan. The record reached number seven on the Billboard singles chart in 1935 becoming Miller's first hit record.
"Dese Dem Dose" – with the Dorsey Brothers and Ray Noble.
"When Icky Morgan Plays the Organ" – recorded with the Clark Randall Orchestra in 1935. Clark Randall was the pseudonym of
Frank Tennille, the father of Toni Tennille of the Captain and Tennille. Most of the band members in the Clark Randall Orchestra
were part of the Bob Crosby Orchestra.
"Annie's Cousin Fanny" – with the Dorsey Brothers in 1934, vocal by Kay Weber and orchestra. This song was covered by Dick
Pierce, Russ Carlton and his Orchestra, Marshall Royal and Maxwell Davis on the album Studio Cuts which includes two takes of
 the song and in 2000 by Mora's Modern Rhythmists Dance Orchestra, a ten-piece ensemble that plays jazz and swing from the
1920s and 1930s. The record was banned by radio stations in 1934 because of suggestive lyrics relying on double entendre.[66]
"Every Day's a Holiday" was a 1938 Brunswick 78 single by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra that reached number 17 on Billboard,
staying on the charts for one week. This was Glenn Miller's second hit record before he switched to the Bluebird label.

its string section and
includes a French horn
solo. A version was
released as V-Disc 65A in
December, 1943 with a

music was written by
Chummy MacGregor and
lyrics by Johnny
Mercer.[68][69] Gil Evans
was also a main arranger
for the Claude Thornhill
orchestra in the forties,
which was financed by
Miller.[70] As such, Glenn
Miller had a very slight
relationship with modern
jazz, tangential
nonetheless. Incidentally,
Miles Davis did not like
Captain Thornhill's interpretations of
Glenn some bebop songs that
Miller and Evans arranged, like
the Army "Donna Lee", calling them

recorded a version in
1942.[71] Jazz historian
Richard Jessen has also
proposed that Miller's
recording of "Wham" from
August 1, 1939, predates
the same phrasing used in
famed bebop track "Salt
Peanuts" by Charlie Parker
and Dizzy Gillespie in
1944.[72]
