    My longtime friend Mark has passed away. We first met online through my GK website in the late 90s and began trading music...I sent him VHS tapes of Krupa, Artie Shaw, and other big band stuff, and he (obviously) sent me 78s😂That was Mark. I never met anyone as enthusiastic about collecting 78s. He had a massive collection and shared much of it via his RUclips channel. It’s not going to be the same😢. Swing On, Mark🥁🙏

    I am sorry to report that Swingman1938 passed away on February 25, 2020 at the age of 48. It is so sad. He will be missed. :(

      Sadly, so young. Do you have further details?

    This is perhaps, indeed, the best solo Miller waxed, but also the last on a commercially issued recording. His solo on Little Brown Jug is also not to be missed. He himself was the most proud of his solo on Hello Lola, a 1929 side by the Mound City Blue Blowers, with driving solos by Coleman Hawkins on tenor and, incredibly, Red McKenzie on paper comb.

      If you're interested, search my channel here for a nice transfer of GM's "Little Brown Jug" on its original Bluebird label release (78rpm - Bluebird 10286) - that one and the flip, GM's "Pavanne", are two transfers I'm particularly proud of.
      Yeah, Glenn really tore it up on the Blue Blowers' "Hello, Lola", which also features 20 year old Gene Krupa helping to drive things into the stratosphere. GM was also particularly soulful on the other Blue Blowers side from the same session, "One Hour".

    I've always thought this side had GM's best solo on record. He is sometimes dismissed, I think, as a soloist, because he didn't have the originality of, say, Teagarden or Trummy Young, nor the beautiful tone of TD, but he was a fine technician, as this side clearly reveals. I read, too, in Paul Tanner's memoir, _Every Night Was New Year's Eve_ , that Glenn put a lot of effort into developing the skills of his section, so each member could become an all-around trombonist. He was meticulous, but not to the point that he couldn't swing, as some detractors claim.

    Pretty darn good for a 78!I have many stored away. Afraid to touch them. But, like everyone else noticed, that was a great trombone solo.
    When he played live in the earlier years he did many solos. I read that he wasn't so happy with his own solos, so played them less and less. Too bad. I loved them.

    Around 200 to 225 BPM. A real swinger indeed by the biggest seller of all time

    On the label this is credited to Walter Donaldson and George Whiting. The second name is incorrect ; it should be RICHARD Whiting. He was responsible for ''Louise'' and "Wait Til You See Ma Cherie,.'' among other selections. Later his daughter, Margaret Whiting, was very well-known as a singer.
