Glenn Miller - Moonlight Cocktail CD

Few bandleaders defined an era as completely as Glenn Miller. From the late 1930s until his disappearance over the English Channel in December 1944, Miller and his orchestra produced a body of work that remains the definitive sound of the swing era — warm, precise, and utterly infectious. His signature reed-led voicing, with clarinets riding above the saxophones, was instantly recognisable and endlessly imitated, but never quite duplicated.

Moonlight Cocktail gathers a selection of his most beloved recordings, including the dreamy title track, which topped the US charts for ten weeks in 1942. Whether you know Miller from wartime dances, classic film soundtracks, or simply from hearing In the Mood drift across a summer garden, this is a collection that rewards repeated listening.

Released on the Tring International budget label (catalogue GRF271), this is an accessible and well-compiled introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most important popular musicians.
