Glenn Miller
Born:
Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, in a small rural Southwestern Iowa town, a boy was born to Elmer and Mattie Lou Miller. The date was March 1, 1904 and the town was Clarinda. The boy that was born that night was named Alton Glen Miller (later changed to Glenn) and when he uttered his first cry, Clarinda heard Glenn Miller’s first "moonlight serenade."

Iversen and drummer Roland Schneider push the music relentlessly forward while the front line of saxophonist Silke Eberhard and trombonist Geoffroy De Masure carouse boisterously on the top. Iversen's themes carry traces ...
Rick Lawn: The Evolution of Big Band Sounds in America
by Victor L. Schermer
From the latter part of the Jazz Age through the Swing Era, big bands dominated the jazz scene and a large part of the entertainment industry.

Women in Jazz, Pt. 2: The Girls From Piney Woods
by Karl Ackermann
In Part 1 of Women in Jazz we looked at the historical position of women in early jazz.
