Glenn Miller
Passage Interdit
par
Glenn Miller’s radio program brings the sound of his orchestra to the listener, with big-band arrangements at its center. The music features the polished brass and reed sections, buoyant rhythms, and carefully blended ensemble sound associated with Miller’s band.
Broadcast performances of this kind combine orchestral numbers with the vocal contributions and spoken introductions that frame a radio music program. The result is a varied listening experience built around popular songs and instrumental arrangements, with the orchestra moving between lively dance tempos and more relaxed, melodic passages.
The appeal lies in the band’s precise, warmly balanced sound and its distinctive swing-era style. “Passage Interdit” is presented as the program’s accompanying title, while the performance offers a focused glimpse of Glenn Miller’s music in a radio setting.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
