"The Glenn Miller Orchestra" is the most popular and sought-after big
band in the world today for both concert and swing dance engagements. They will be coming to the FSCJ Nathan H.
Wilson Center for the Arts on Florida State College at Jacksonville’s South
Campus, for only one performance on Friday, January 12, 2017. With its unique jazz sound, The Glenn Miller Orchestra is
considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time.
The present “Glenn Miller Orchestra”
was formed in 1956 and has been touring consistently since, playing an average
of 300 live dates a year all around the world.
Nick Hilscher, the orchestra’s music director and vocalist, creates an
atmosphere of richness as the band remains devoted to the Miller sound,
interpreting such standards as “String of Pearls,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Little
Brown Jug,” and “Pennsylvania 6-5000.” “A band ought to have a sound all of its
own. It ought to have a personality”
- Glenn Miller. Miller played and recorded with the likes of
Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey (who on several of their records, featured an
up-and-coming singer by the name of Bing Crosby), Gene Krupa, Eddie Condon and
Coleman Hawkins. In addition, during
that time, Glenn cut 18 sides for Goodman, and also worked for radio studio
conductors like Victor Young, Carl Fenton and Jacques Renard. In 1934,
Miller became the musical director of the Dorsey Band, and later went on to organize
The Ray Noble Orchestra. In April 1935,
Glenn Miller recorded, for the first time, under his own name. Using six horns,
a rhythm section and a string quartet, he recorded "Moonlight on the
Ganges" and "A Blues Serenade" for Columbia. But selling only a few hundred records, he
continued his position with the Noble Orchestra. A few years later, Glenn Miller stepped out to
form his own band. There were a few recordings,
but it was not to be. Broke, depressed
and having no idea what he was going to do, he returned to New York City.
It is said that Miller could never remember precisely the moment he
decided to emphasize his new reed section sound. But it was during this
disheartening interim that he realized the unique sound — produced by the
clarinet holding the melodic line while the tenor sax plays the same note, and
supported harmonically by three other saxophones — just might be the individual
and easily recognizable style that would set his band apart from all the rest. For Glenn Miller’s full biography and for the current cast of The
Glenn Miller Orchestra, visit their website.
