Glenn Miller Orchestra Picture and Photo Gallery:

One of the top bands of the swing era, The Glenn Miller Orchestra perfected a distinctive sound that would carry it to the top of the charts in the first half of the 20th Century. The first Glenn Miller Orchestra, founded by trombonist Glenn Miller in 1937 was a flop, but in 1938, Miller organized another orchestra that focused on a singular reed sound formed by the clarinet and tenor saxophone playing the melody line with a number of other saxes harmonizing.
