An excellent compilation of Miller's work for the AEF. I've been a huge fan of his army band since I was in Jr. High and visited Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio where they have some of the band fronts (stylized music stands) and some of the arrangements on display. Beautiful music from a very ugly time. Highly recommended for all fans of 1940s pop and jazz.

There's a lot of songs sung in the German language, Although I don't understand the wording they still sound excellent to me.I have been a fan of Glenn Miller since I saw the "Glenn Miller Story" when I was 14 y.o.. I will be 71 in December.

I bought this collection to give to a friend whose father served at the same time as Glenn Miller and was aware od his mysterious disappearance. I also know that even Hitler admired Glenn Miller's work. EVERYONE enjoys "In The Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade" whether they grew up with BeBop, genuine 50's R&R, Country, The Beatles, Heavy Metal, etc. because this music is timeless. This collection is superbly assembled and includes a great detailed insert.
Interesting for the songs sung in German and for the quality of the orchestra personnel. Good old music never looses its impact. The arrangements are wondeful. A real treat. So good to hear melodic songs and great swing tunes.I recommend this album to anyone interested in big band music.
Great Quality. I really like this type of music and bought it as a gift for a relative after I had the oppurtinity to listen to it.
