This 22-track import CD presents recordings by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra originally released on the Bluebird and RCA Victor labels between 1939 and 1944. Some of the included tracks were major hits, notably "Tuxedo Junction," "Pennsyvania 6-5000," "Song of the Volga Boatmen," "I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo," and "That Old Black Magic," but this is not primarily a hits collection, instead focusing on Miller covers of songs better known by other performers, such as "Frenesi" (Artie Shaw) and a surprisingly slow "Take the 'A' Train" (Duke Ellington), and obscure B-sides and instrumentals.

But fans weary of endless hit compilations will welcome a non-standard selection. Newer listeners should begin elsewhere, however. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
