Released in 1945 shortly after Miller's death as a 4 disc set of 78s with two tracks on each disc, this was one of the first best-selling albums on the newly created Billboard album chart, staying at number one for 16 weeks. Glenn Miller was the most famous, popular and acclaimed big band leader of the 20th century. Many jazz critics dismiss his style of smooth swing as too commercial, preferring the snap and energy of Benny Goodman and Count Basie. I see what they mean, but I don't see the need to dismiss the one or other as both have their place and both require skill and artistry, just of a slightly different sort. The album on Spotify is a 2010 release with 18 tracks, so is not the original 1945 album which only had eight tracks.
