Should have read the review of this CD more carefully..iy is not original Miller,; rather by a band that plays in THE STYLE of Miller. I was a pre-teen and teenager in the Miller era, and believeme, this is NOT the same! There is just something missing; to quote an expression current in the era, "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing"...and it doesn't.

I am very happy to have this box set the Glenn Miller Orchestra would play the songs as Glenn would play them. I love the Miller sound. This is a must have for the Glenn Miller fan. The price is right, it's a winner.

But for the record, allmusic.com does list Glenn Miller - not an imitator - in the credits for the individual CDs that are in this box set. Whether he appears personally on all tracks, or whether all or some of the musicians or performances are not the originals, I just don't know.

I bought this C.D. just when I was getting into jazz. I didn't know what to expect, but I hoped it would be something I liked. Boy, did I have nothing to worry about. I loved it from the moment I heard it. This music captures you and holds you, forcing you to listen. Between Glenn Miller's trombone, and every other member of his band, a unique sound comes out that I love and I think everyone else will love.
