This CD is part of
RCA Victor
's extensive but erratic introduction to
jazz
series.
Glenn Miller
had so many hits that it would be impossible to fit them on just one CD. Strangely enough, three of the 15 numbers included on this release (
"When You Wish Upon a Star,"
"Moon Love,"
and
"King Porter Stomp"
) were not big sellers, making the title a bit pointless. The famous renditions of such numbers as
"In the Mood,"
"Chattanooga Choo Choo,"
"A String of Pearls,"
"Little Brown Jug"
are among this CD's highlights, but there are better organized "greatest-hits"
collections than this one readily available. ~ Scott Yanow
