[Dixielandjazz] Glenn Miller's Wartime Bands

[Stan Brager]

Randy;

 

Besides having his own military band with which he closely directed, he also
formed as series of other bands for the military. 

 

"Miller also formed a network of service orchestras for the war effort. "In
summarizing Miller's military career, General Jimmy Doolittle said, 'next to
a letter from home, [this] organization was the greatest morale builder in
the European Theater of Operations'"
