5.0 out of 5 stars Best renditions of Glen Miller music!, August 15, 2002

I happened to check this CD out of our local public library after attending a Glen Miller concert at the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum. As a musician and music critic, I've listened to many Glen Miller recordings and none compare with the highly polished and classy style in Ray Anthony's arrangements of GM (there are two volumes). Unlike some of the authentic Gm recordings, the Ray Anthony Orchestra has produced high quality recordings with various band parts that are detailed and clear (which musicians love!). This particular recording really grows on you; I didn't take it out of my CD changer for two months. It's appropriate for quiet listening but at the same time is jazzy enough to put you in a dancing mood. It's definitely a moral booster and tension relaxer. My sister, who is also a GM fan (and owns many more recordings than I) happened to hear me playing it and demanded to know where to buy it so she could get herself a copy! Enough said!

This CD is a mix of jumpin' swing, ballads and even a waltz. If it's tempo changes you like, this one has it. This is not for sustained easy listening. Of course, Ray's mellow trumpet and his fine musicians shine through again.

3.0 out of 5 stars I agree, not many good tracks, October 31, 2001

I agree with the other reviews. There are only a few good
tracks here. And the reason is the music doesn't fit
the big band sound as stated in another review.

Buy it on sale if you have a CD Burner to combine the
good tracks with other material.
