Five people obviously have NO taste in musik what so ever.

[norwalk37]

Fantastic band!! Glenn would be proud of you!!

[TheCahoonzie]

Pennsylvania 6500 was the phone number of the Penn Hotel located in Manhatten NYC. Watch this ancient movie and you will get the idea lol.

[PRR5406]

Never been a big fan of "big Band" music, but these guys are having so much fun!

[MrHadage]

Whats the drummer's name?

[luvtrns4evr]

I wonder how many young people today know that was a phone number?

[MILWE60C]

@luvtrns4evr I know!

[frostywhipcream]

this piece is a real "toe-tapper" and "finger-snapper"

[hungryherbie]

Pennsylvania 6-5000 a great telephone number

to have.....a great tribute of the Glenn Miller classic

[jazzsfera]

I think it's a tenor sax

[mklmklmkl22]

@jazzsfera It is.

[Rac3wayWarrior]

YEA alto sax solo

[EmulatorDX]

@Rac3wayWarrior you moron its tenor

[Abriggs500]

Is this the America Glenn Miller Orchestra?

[RalphDodge1]

No, its the Europian.

[tripleheshy]

Blow that horn boy!!!!!!!!! That is some of the cleanest, brightest trumpet ever. AUSGESEICHNET!!!

[ladyirish1860]

Love the sound. This is the best music of all time, I do believe! But, um, Boobies on the end is distracting. Where's her bowtie? Non-conforming 'cause she's a woman??? Totally takes away from the visual. Get that girl a tie!!! And button her shirt, for cryin' out loud.

[Dominik919]

Gibt es das Glenn Miller Orchester immer noch??

Weiß villeicht auch einer wos ei auftretten??

[olivermcummins]

Great version I love it ..great find thanks

[sapphiresunburn]

I seem to recall a Bugs Bunny cartoon called, "Transylvania 6-5000" Related?

[TanzaniteMephiles15]

Spectacular!!! I simply LOVE Glenn Miller!

[silverbulletgirl29]

Actually, with the little bells jingly jinglin', it outta be called 'Dinner For Doggie'. "Come 'n Get It! Dinner for the doggie!!: da da da da da da...

[Nilsog]

The bell is supposed to be an old phone ringing, as Pennslvania 6-5000 is a phone number :)

[AshburnStadium]

Pennsylvania 6-5000 is the longest-continuously held phone number in the U.S., and has been in operation for 90 years, having been assigned in 1919.

It belongs, to this day, to the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City, where Miller's band often stayed.

However, in today's parlance, the named phone exchanges have faded into history, and the phone number today is 212-736-5000.

[Shangas]

736-5000 still means PEnnsylvania 6-5000. Nothing's changed.

[Shangas]

Yep :) I'm surprised they got a bell-recording loud enough to be heard in such a huge dance-hall...

[AshburnStadium]

They probably used an actual bell set up on the band stand!

[silverbulletgirl29]

Wish my butt had been in one of the seats down there in the audience. Would've loved to hear that song played live! But I'd probably have gone crazy with the dancing and torn of the chair! Weeeeee! :B

[moviecrazy12345]

Their playing is so clean and crisp. I love jazz!

[tvvdo]

This music reminds me of my old man..rip.

[AProWithNoName]

Oh man, I loved that trumpet solo. I'm a sax player, but I gotta respect that talent.

The sax solo was good too, but it didn't jump out at me as much as some in other songs, like Little Brown Jug. Little Brown Jug is one of my very favorite Glenn Miller performances.

[mierium]

me too

[kjfld]

this band and benny goodman are my inspiration to start my own big band. bring the good times bak =]

[LorynToo]

Time to download some MP3s of Glen Miller.

[TayAP1234]

When we played this song for one of our school concerts I conviced the whole band to do THE MOVES although the person who playes the Valve Trombone in my section refused to "Dance" To bad the Valve Trombone Stinks!

[iVideoiTube]

I try to get the guys in my Jazz Band at school to do all those movemnets like swing around and kina dance a little and they are all chicken and don't do it!

[bvongrabe]

That's why the Glenn Miller bands around the globe are known and you jazz band is not. Talk your guys out of their insecurity!

[iVideoiTube]

16 m USA I wud to I'd jump up and cut a rug wit my GF LOL LOL

[SFisher120]

How can the Audience just sit and listen? I would be up dancing to this music! It's so wonderful! 16m Canada

[Refrence54]

maybe because they're really old and they just wanna listen to the music and relax?

and why is everyone talking like they're chatting online?

[SFisher120]

I don't know, every one else was doing it so I thought this was how it worked, hahaha I hadn't really thought it through.

[Shangas]

I don't care what anyone else says, music from the first half of the 20th. could blast the socks off almost anything produced in the first half of the 21st.

[Zeratul0831]

it was MADE to be danced to! I second your point.

[iVideoiTube]

I wish the 40's were today instead of this junky culture we have with junky un-civilized music. 16 m usa

[LLJtbone]

Oh yeah by the way the tbones rule..

[jazznwine4]

the ancient sax guy rocks!

[LLJtbone]

That "ancient" sax guy can still play his ass off!

[warthogtwo]

they dont make stuff like this anymore. this track is just so awsome. wish i was alive in the 40's.

[owlman33]

wow , even the much older sax guy did great too!

[BlackRose770]

this song gets stuck in my head from time to time =P I like it

[matters9319]

Holy Lord, that trumpet solo was aboslutely atrotious (did i spell that right?) Too much trills and grace notes that were unnessesary!!! GAH!!! I HAVE AN ORIGINAL GLENN MILLER RECORD, AND HE BUTCHERED THE SOLO!!! I COULD'VE PLAYED IT BETTER!!! NOT BECAUSE I'M A BETTER PLAYER,(my range needs some help, just got braces :( ) BUT BECAUSE I WOULDN'T DO ALL THOSE EXTRA SLURS AND TRILLS AND SHIT. HE KILLED PENN. 6500 FOR ME!!!!!!

[timmchap35]

totally

[owlman33]

you know he's not 20...

he did great for a senior adult.

[matters9319]

???

Don't understand what that as to do with any of this....

[owlman33]

One the best tunes ever.....

[JimboJohnsy]

blue jackets weren't they wearing yellow???

[timvandenheuvel]

They have both, blue and yellow jackets. There visiting my hometown over two weeks, only i have a nightshift wich i cant pass on to somebody else. Really bad, but i asume they will performe at Amsterdam some more times?

[ChrisGS1982]

Nice

[adancernamedsara]

when did this song first come out?

[matters9319]

1940 or so

And By the way, instead of bothering people with questions of that manner, make google you best friend. :) I mean that in the nicest of ways. lol

[wajimya]

I forgot about this classic. Great song.

[Jigaboo123456]

Wow!

[edj403]

[Poisson4147]

[Driverman2008]

Pennsylvania 6-5000!

[saxbetch]

heey i played this and other Glenn MIller charts for an USO show we put on at my Highschool i got the tenor solo in this

[amtrakboy789]

Cool, our jazz band does other swing songs, like in the mood

[ThaZatzke]

We play this song in Jazz Band, and I play lead trumpet on it, and I must say, it's a VERY fun song :D

[echazfilm]

I saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra in the Friedrich-List-Halle in Reutlingen in 2005 or 2006, it must have been. They just played great, magnificant, like here. This is my favorite song of theirs. The Saxophone player with the glasses smiled all the time like he does here. They are such a great orchestra, wonderful!!

[cascajera1920]

Con todo este aire de musica

vinieron a mi ciudad, tocan igual o muy

parecido pero son de mi pueblo y les quiero.

saldaña-palencia.

[cascajera1920]

Con mucho aire.

Recuerdo a D.Luis Amor.

Estara con los GRANDES DEL JAZZ.

Guardeme un sitio.

Hasta pronto... pero que sea tarde.

[noctemaeternustl]

The greatest era! My father played all that great music when I was a kid, I am 32 now and I still love it! Thank you for posting it.

[uomodiclasse]

Very very nice...also the solos!
