[Dixielandjazz] The Glenn Miller Story, The Film

[Vinny]

Yes the years didn't treat Ziggy well and I'm sure Manny did play the
Froehlich trumpet for the movie; I just seem to remember seeing Ziggy going
through the motions on camera.

Hi--
I got to know Mannie Klein late in his life, and even went to Holland with
him fro the Breda Jazz Festival.  He was a terrific guy; one of those men
who did a lot of good for many people, and made the world a better place
while he was here. Although not all that well-known to the public, he was
respected by the greatest jazz and classical trumpet players.
 
He loved Ziggy, and the reason Mannie overdubbed Ziggy's famous solo was
only becasue Ziggy was very ill at the time. (You can look it up, but I
think he passed away not long after the film was made).
 
Here's to Mannie!
 
More soon,
 
--Dan.
