Glenn Miller-"One O'Clock Jump"

[MrStracan]

Esta música es inmortal.

[ondrasdusek]

YEAH!

[baleclimber7]

wow you teach? what do you lecture?

[Halo101st]

If the 'younger generation were ever to ask what music was, all you would have to do is play this Glenn Miller rendition for them. Of course, that is absurd because they no longer have ears, they all have wires going into their heads pumping in noise pollution.

[baleclimber7]

@Halo101st do you realise that those 'wires' going into there heads are really playing Glen Miller 24/7?

[Halo101st]

@baleclimber7 Would that were so, but I teach them and know otherwise. Sometimes, the whole class looks like it is on life support. It is a war to unplug them in order to lecture.

[electricpizzafly]

@Halo101st Ha Ha, nice comment! I am probably a member of the generation you speak of, but this music has a life of its own and never gets old when compared with the garbage of today! :)

[Halo101st]

@electricpizzafly Agreed. Glenn Miller was my parents generation, "The Greatest Generation."

[ASeasonedWitch]

For the kids of this generation it was a mosh pit alright but an organized one. I can see them dancing like mad to this tune!

[albamaria54]

THE BEST.........FOREVER

[bbenishek]

I love this version with all the band chatter in the background.

[johnnycchops]

Chummy MacGregor, piano.

[wanawara111]

непревзойдённое звучания оркестра. Гений всехвремён и народов.

[Chowkin9]

@wanawara111 chernobyl

[bbjornst07]

@wanawara111 Don't know what you said, but why is it that this music united our nations together, then we had 55 years of cold fighting? Beyond me, Russia, has never actually been our enemy, but our ally in the two largest conflicts the world has ever known. Against who? Germany, a common enemy. What the fu** happened world? USA and Russia should be friends, like we once were.

[Dannythepipingboy]

@bbjornst07

And now!! The US and Germany are friends. Why not ??? Or would ya wanker still call the germans nazis or facists???

[Halo101st]

@wanawara111 Does that mean you like it?

[alcarazband]

maravillosa musica...la era dE LAS GRANDES BANDAS ...BIGBANDS SWINGS.....

[ukcatfan36]

Love this version of 1 O'clock..as good as Goodman's if not better. Miller's band could swing with them all!!!

[ninjaheartt]

he has a great evil villain face, just saying

[wanawara111]

Джазовый БЛЕСК!!!! Лучшего звучания быть не может, по определению. Глен -Гений.

[hep2jive]

and what an era!

[AreYouWetYet]

Dean Koontz writes the name of this song into all of his story books, that and dogs, and something else I forget. I had to check it out, this version he likes not the Basie.

I am not really that turned onto this song.

[newtoit100]

wow

[Disques13Swing]

This is not a recording. It is from Miller's single date in Carnegie Hall in 1939 so it's a 'live' performance. Needless to say, they were at the top of their game that night. They also did different versions of 'Little Brown Jug' and 'In the Mood' during that concert that were better than the normal fare.

[4205lr]

@Disques13Swing It is not the Carnegie Hall recording. It is from a Chesterfield broadcast.

[Vermontist]

@Disques13Swing Miller is not playing this to us live, it was recorded. Do you mean that it wasn't done in a studio, but was performed in front of an audience? That must be it. :)

[JarBaires]

@Vermontist We can say that this a "live performance" because surely was performed in front of an audience. The Miller band (as many others) was broadcasted from ballrooms, radio studios with audience, hotels (Pennsylvania in NY, Sherman in Chicago), etc. So Disques13Swing was right and you too!

[JarBaires]

@Disques13Swing The Carnegie Hall performance (Oct. 6, 1939) includes a chant by the band and is longer than this (it runs 5 min.). Surely it's a radio broadcast but, as you said, the band was at the top of their game (that night too!).

[GuyGizborne]

Rock N' Roll, the music, was coined by Cleveland disk jockey Alan Freed, who played early '50s jump jive songs (all black artists) to his mainly white audience. The phrase "R N' R" seems to originate as slang for sex.

[aerosmythe]

Where did Rock 'N Roll originate from?

[LadyMiles08]

Oh hell naw...listen to Count Basie play it

[pammyinlp]

No one can touch this! Not even the great Benny Goodman, etc.

[dinasaur2]

that is debatable! You should Benny Goodmans version from his famous 1938 Carnigie Hall concert. That version will blow the trumpet head off anyone lol

[pammyinlp]

@dinasaur2

Thanks, I'll listen to it. I didn't know he had the version you're talking about.

[dodik0505]

Это класс!!! Вспоминаю детство, Как старшие слушали дома эту музыку.

[BJSTV]

No one does this better than Glenn Miller!

[balordaccio]

2:45 - 3:00.. fantastico!

[pammyinlp]

@balordaccio

I agree. It's my favorite part. :)

[scotchrks]

This band had a very different version of "swing" style. I can hear the military dicipline in this version versus the other versions I've heard. This band I would say had a "stately" swing style. Also, I can hear very early dixieland technique, or 20's style. Bix comes to mind when the second trumpet solo is heard. Still, this band will always be one of the best in the business.

[glennmiller2005]

this is just a good old boogie woogie. glenn's band was always so tight, even if the swinging did suffer a bit, they would always play amazingly. and they definitely could swing pretty damn hard. i love me some glenn miller, though, to say the least

[sunsetarts]

I've noticed every big band has their own version of this piece and every one sounds different. Want proof? Just listen to this and then listen to the Count Basie or the Benny Goodman version.

[badisev]

...and some critics say the GM band could not swing....

[hep2jive]

one of my all time favorites! ya know GM and CB and so many others help me get through my teen years. which im still in lol

[GingerRum]

I bet this will surprise a few people. The Miller civilian band swinging a Basie classic!
