Mine too. Even when he was very old with advanced dementia, my mother and I would play his Glenn Miller or his Tommy Dorsey for him, and he would immediately smile and hum along.
Same here. As fast as the world changed after WWII, a lot of people simply got swept up in living in a hurry. No matter what, they still had this music.
This brings back memories of the American 8th Army Air Corps in England during world war two. I was a young impressionable boy back then,, and I saw the Fortress's fly out on the raids over Germany. Many never came back. We saw the young American airmen on our steets and we heard their music - Glen Miller. Many went to their deaths, having the night before danced to that particular piece: American Patrol. Rest in Peace - we who saw them will never forget them.
My dad served in WWII with the 8th Army Air Corps in England. He was stationed in Kings Cliffe, close to Peterborough in England. So I grew up listening and enjoying the big band sound, especially Glenn Miller. He told me that while he was stationed there, the Glenn Miller Band performed at the airbase in Kings Cliffe and he got to hear them. I always thought it would have been so much fun to hear his music live. I just recently did some research and read that Glenn Miller's last live performance was in Kings Cliffe. Now I am wondering if this was the performance that my dad got to see and hear. My dad has passed away and I wish I had asked him if this was indeed Glenn Miller's last performance. Before he passed away, I did manage to take my dad to 2 performances of the traveling Glenn Miller Band. I do recommend to anyone that loves this music to attend if the band comes to your town.
As my father's health got bad, he once joked, "If ever I sit still in my chair while a song like this (Benny Goodman-Sing,Sing,Sing) is playing, I'm probably dead." He loved all kinds of good music, and encouraged us to listen by giving us "record money" every month. He always kept the most modern stereo for the time, usually a massive piece of furniture by Motorola with a good turntable and extra needles. This reminded him of his time as a Marine in WWII, and it was his favorite (Korea era & Vietnam era not so much). No wonder it's called "The greatest generation."
When I was a kid, my accordion teacher handed me the sheet music for this song as my weekly assignment to learn. I loved it and the great rhythm of it made it much easier to learn how to play than many pieces. As soon as I was playing it smoothly enough, I suddenly remembered it as one I'd heard on the radio by the original Glenn Miller Orchestra. I looked up as many vinyl records of Miller's band as I could and soon I was picking many of the tunes up by ear. I've been a fan of Miller's music ever since and this great band from sverige does a fine job carrying on the tradition. Tack så mycket!
Was able to see The Glenn Miller Orchestra live a few years ago. They were announced, the orchestra went into Moonlight Serenade and I had goose bumps throughout the concert!!! What an awesome experience!!!!! So good to be able to see music like this on youtube....
Look im 63 and maybe an old soul inside but .... I love not just great traditional jazz greats and there are a lot of timeless great recordings but I also love the swing era jazz music again ? There were some really hit swinging tunes out there and this is very much one of those great tunes from the swing era.
When I was in high school band in 1963, I came home and told my father we played a really neat song today that our band director had written for us (this one). Dad smiled. "He may have 'arranged' it for your band, but that song is probably older than I am." Whenever I hear this song, I think of Bill Holston (our band director) and my dad. I still play trumpet and still play the song.
My dad,93 taught me to dance to Big bands....danced to the Glenn Miller band in 1967, in England. This new band, is just as great. Polished, to a high shine!!
Always a crowd favorite. I play in a similar band that plays this same arrangement. We sometimes see youth groups wearing period dress and swing dance to this immortal piece. It is encouraging to know that there are groups of teens, in scattered pockets of the US, who are fortunate to have grownups exposing them to this timeless jazz and the dance steps that go with it. The amount of pure fun they have dancing to American Patrol, and many other immortal tunes like it, is immense. This is a superb band, and I like their side by side layout. Maybe we should set up the same way...
One of Miler's many A+ songs. I'm a wild of rock'n'roll. I remember the rock'n'roll "Big Bang" in 1955 (Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bo Diddley).. But I'm still drawn to the big band music of the '40s.. It's my parents' music, but it always spoke to me.
Sensational!!!!! My Mom took me to a concert at Woodfield Mall in Illinois when I was in 8th grade... Miller's records were in a box in my grandma's attic... I played 2nd alto for the TCU Jazz ensemble from 79 to 84... this is really really outstanding.....
American Patrol, Little Brown Jug, and Tuxedo Junction always made it fun for the trombones (which is rare for most group musical arrangements). I love playing Miller and Sousa tunes on my trombone.
GOSH THIS TAKES ME BACK IN TIME TO THE WAR YEARS THE BEST ORCHESTRA I HAVE EVER HEARD. THINGS WERE SO EMOTIONAL THEN WITH SO MUCH GOING ON AND SO MUCH DRAMA ALL AROUND US.
I like to listen to this type of music. Also classic stuff also. I saw the Glen Miller story on on of the movie channels but never got to see the end of it. I heard he never came home. R.IP. Mr. Miller may your music continue to inspire all who hear it. Thank you.
Glenn promised to play his wife favorite song little brown jug on the radio broadcast if he made it there alright. Just before they played the song the radio announcer said the Glenn's plane was missing.
I seem to be witnessing the real great orchestra of Glenn Miller. Greetings. ruclips.net/video/fJD5joPPmik/видео.html *TUXEDO JUNCTION* Song of *Glenn Miller* Guitar Solo Version cover by *Duane Eddy*
Yes I am. When I was about 7 or 8 years old m y oldest brother had band practice in our living room. This was before all of them went into the service (WWII). the drummer let me beat on his base between numbers. My best memory is that they all came back and married and went to college on the GI bill. MOST are gone now, rest in peace Bill.
Wonderful! I could not stop my foot from bouncing. And the memories from WWII... Oh how I respect those men who fought in that war. This song helped me imagine being one of them.
My wifes parents lived with us , no old folks home,we looked after them meds meals,washed the dirty bed sheets he had Alzheimers , not doing very well ,played glenn miller one morning,he couldnt talk any more ,he lit rite up " now that was good music"
I remember the Song of India as the theme song for Irwin Johnson and his Early Worm on WBNS radio in Columbus, Ohio when I was a lad of 5 or 6 in the late 40’s and 50’s. It was a pleasant moment to hear it again so many years later!
Caledonia you may have seen my Uncle.He flew with the Eigth many missionsHe was one of the lucky ones and lived through that ordeal to return home safely.
Lordy, lordy, that's a dead-on identical version of the classic WWII song. It sends shivers up my old spine! If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Mr. Miller himself was there in his white coat leading the band with his trombone, too!
I must have seen them right about this time ... there were two versions touring the country, and I saw them in Milwaukee. The legacy has been richly handed down. It will always be the music that won the war.
Definitivamente, por más que se quiera, quitar el recuerdo, de que esta música está ligada a la Segunda Guerra mundial pues sería Imposible, pero la Música es ha sido y sera, el mejor medio de comunicación, entre loa Países todo el Mundo es La Musica el Idioma Universal
Only thing I never did like about this arrangement: the trombones blatting out the ship's horn effects 2:00, but this is much better at making the sound blend than others I've heard.
Yes ME! Love Jazz and it's the reason why I, an Argentinian fully LEGAL immigrant, came in 1965 and now I am a FULLY LEGAL AMERICA LOVER !!! MAKE GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
I do not know this song from TikTok but my own door bell, it is from 0:11-0:20 And they sound exactly the same. I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS TUNE FOR 17 YEARS AND KNOWING THIS IS THE SONG
This has the right sound, bounce and swing,in the 50s or 60s a Glenn Miller bio pic was produced, didn't have the right sound, could play all the notes, didn't sound right,had find some of the old retired guys from Glenn Miller band , put them on the correct sound
Margot Shelby I think so too. I was born in 1969 but I still am in love with the ww2 swing era big band era. I talk about this with people in their 90s which lights up a smile on their face.
This was my Fathers music, I've always !over it. It's still as wonderful as ever!
Mine too. Even when he was very old with advanced dementia, my mother and I would play his Glenn Miller or his Tommy Dorsey for him, and he would immediately smile and hum along.
Same here. As fast as the world changed after WWII, a lot of people simply got swept up in living in a hurry. No matter what, they still had this music.
I was born on 1953 and love Miller music, and all big band jazz. Miller is my favorite.
So cool! i'm only 15 but love these songs, may Glenn RIP
@@halu8868 same

Absolutely the best music in the world
......can not be surpassed
I love this song and love this version. Classic.😁
2024 this music never gets old
I agree
I've listened to a number of "Glenn Miller" bands but this one is most authentic to the "original"
Agree. The tempo of play was correct and not slowed down like many tribute bands.
Votre orchestre est tout simplement génial. Vous faites honneur à l'œuvre musicale de Glen Miller.

It is impossible not to like this music well because it is real music!
I'm from the U.K and I love the songs from this period, really thankful my music teacher exposed me to this song

I've dance all G.Miller's music,and I do today,too.Armando H.,86 years old,from Porto Alegre City,at South of Brazil...
One of my favorites from my days of playing sax in a jazz band. Loved this piece.
FABULOUS.....Those were the days the Big Band era was magical. Real music....!!!!

This band really honors the Glen Miller band sound, I love it.
American Patrol, Little Brown Jug, and Tuxedo Junction always made it fun for the trombones (which is rare for most group musical arrangements). I love playing Miller and Sousa tunes on my trombone.
Timeless!!! If this world is around 1,000 years from now I'll bet this music will still be listened to.😊
Satisfecho quedaría el sr Glen Miller con esta interpretación fabulosa!?🎸🎶
This is truly American music at its best...Glenn, and the Band, we miss you.
So professional can't tell this band from Glenn miller's. Glenn would be so proud of these musicians.what talent.marilynnlynneberry

AND SO MUCH DRAMA ALL AROUND US.
Toda una gran interpretación en la extensión de la palabra de este clásico del Jazz.
I'm listening and loving it, my favorite is Glenn Miller opus #1
I have loved this song since the day I first heard it.
My goodness 😍 I can listen to this over and over and never gets tired 😂 this is real jazz music..
Glenn Miller Orchestra..... 1941/2015...from the movie "Sun Valley Serenade" to the present day... Perfect!!!!!!
I am listening to this right now and like it very much. Excellent interprets of the original - this band!
I am listening to this in 2020, I play tenor sax and clarinet in a big band, am in the RAF and ITS AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wonderful music! Thank you for sharing!👍😊
Incredible, astonishing, stunning music... Cheers from Costa Rica.
This band is better than any of the other Glen Miller bands I have heard.
YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a little too much
Sound and style are there, but tempo a smidge (2 clikcks) too fast.
I seem to be witnessing the real great orchestra of Glenn Miller. Greetings. ruclips.net/video/fJD5joPPmik/видео.html *TUXEDO JUNCTION* Song of *Glenn Miller* Guitar Solo Version cover by *Duane Eddy*
Have you heard official Glenn Miller´band with Wil Salden as director ?
So close to the original. Jan Slottenas is Gods gift to millerfans.
Yes I am. When I was about 7 or 8 years old m y oldest brother had band practice in our living room. This was before all of them went into the service (WWII). the drummer let me beat on his base between numbers. My best memory is that they all came back and married and went to college on the GI bill. MOST are gone now, rest in peace Bill.
Of my parents generation, but what is not to like? Miller was awesome.
Omg this is one of the happiest melodies I've heard
Excelente orquesta y música, gracias, es un agrado escuchar...
Wonderful! I could not stop my foot from bouncing. And the memories from WWII... Oh how I respect those men who fought in that war. This song helped me imagine being one of them.
We have played this great song in the Brazilian Mariner Corps Band.
Eh tempo bom não volta mais agora é só recordações! Parabéns por dar vida a esse clássico! Espero que venha mais jóias como essa!!!.
August 2024. Fabulous music.
Listening. Also been to three Glenn Miller orchestra concerts live.
Remenber my dad, he loves this music
Great music. Can’t get better. From a baby boomer. Love swing.
Fresh and fantastic arrangement. Glenn MiIller would have been proud.
Que agradable es escuchar esta musica. Muchas gracias.
Excellent, this is a marvelous orchestra.
Eternal Glen Miller yesterday today and tomorrow
My wifes parents lived with us , no old folks home,we looked after them meds meals,washed the dirty bed sheets he had Alzheimers , not doing very well ,played glenn miller one morning,he couldnt talk any more ,he lit rite up " now that was good music"
Een nummer van Glenn om nooit te vergeten - wat een sound en uitvoering prachtig
Came for the way the thumbnail makes him look like he has multiple arms, stayed for the top-notch jazz
If someone is listening to this in 2020 let me know, ok??!!
Me do)
Thanks. I remember to Glenn Miller and Orchestra. Wonderfull. Greetings from México
HELLO
Taking a poll?
We play this in our bigband. I'm a trombonist, thinking about getting me some of those Glenn Miller glasses!
I am watching this 1st March 2020. Greatest popular music ever.
My favourite American March, togheter sousa spectacular.

2024 and still going strong! Love it!
2024 still a classic.
Alain 11. J'ai vu cet orchestre, merveilleux. Je suis fan et j'ai été surpris du solo d'un jeune batteur.

La mejor música tiempo de mi padre a mis padres con dedicación los amo
Why do I get emotional when listening to this music?
This band did justice to the original. Kudos.
This theme included in Circus Charlie game.
2024 Still great music
This has the right sound, bounce and swing,in the 50s or 60s a Glenn Miller bio pic was produced, didn't have the right sound, could play all the notes, didn't sound right,had find some of the old retired guys from Glenn Miller band , put them on the correct sound
I'm impressed!!! Mr. Glenn Miller would have approved!!!
Margot Shelby I think so too. I was born in 1969 but I still am in love with the ww2 swing era big band era. I talk about this with people in their 90s which lights up a smile on their face.
Wonderful arrangement
Good old days
Circus Charlie!!
Esta hermosa música es un remanso de paz de nuestro inefable pasado!!! 🌸👍🇲🇽🌷
I like it when they do it to the original.
