The Glenn Miller installment of the JAZZ MOODS: HOT series plays like a greatest hits of the early 1940s. Miller's orchestra enjoyed tremendous popularity, and the bandleader's name became virtually synonymous with swing. Even after the advent of funk, disco, and house music, "In the Mood" may still rank as one of the greatest dance songs of all time. With its clarion-call horn lines, bouncing rhythms, and sly refrain, it is impossible to sit still when it plays. Appropriately, the track leads off this set.
The string of Miller classics continues with "String of Pearls," the slowly chugging "Tuxedo Junction," and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" (the smooth lead vocal and choral back-ups practically invite group sing-alongs). Though there were swing orchestras that hit harder and were more musically adventurous, no one captured the nation's imagination like Glenn Miller. JAZZ MOODS: HOT presents the crisp arrangements and streamlined sound of his orchestra in all its original (but beautifully remastered) glory.

This CD was released as part of the extensive BluebirdLegacy Jazz Moods series. There are two ways to look at this release. The 14 selections, other than the fact that most of them are cookers (or, in the parlance of the swing era, solid senders), are reissued in random order. The exact recording dates are not given (just the year) nor is there a personnel listing. The only liner notes, a paragraph on the back cover, informs listeners that "the Miller band was a star-laden organization which at various times featured the greatest soloists...." Nope, Miller's band was famous for its precise ensembles and did not have any famous soloists. The notes also state that "'Moonlight Serenade' is here, of course, are such other Miller mega-hits originally made for Bluebird and Columbia as 'Little Brown Jug'...." "Moonlight Serenade" and "Little Brown Jug" are not on this sampler and Miller's early records for Columbia resulted in zero hits; none of the Columbia recordings are here anyway. On the other hand, the music that is included is quite fun and does stick mostly to the rousing instrumentals, so listeners just wanting a sampling of Miller's jazz side will find these performances enjoyable.
