Jerry Gray released a new version of "Introduction to a Waltz" in 1951 as a Decca 45 and 78 single from the album A Tribute to Glenn Miller. Larry O'Brien and the Glenn Miller Orchestra have also recorded this instrumental in 2006 on the album Steppin' Out. The Jack Million Band also recorded this work. The song was played on the Chesterfield radio program in 1941 by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. Two airchecks exist of the performances.
"Introduction to a Waltz" was performed on The Chesterfield Radio Show on December 11, 1941 and March 20, 1942 featuring Billy May on trumpet, Tex Beneke on tenor saxophone, Chummy MacGregor on piano, and Moe Purtill on drums. Glenn Miller co-wrote the instrumental with arranger Jerry Gray and Hal Dickinson.
Introduction to a Waltz was composed by Glenn Miller, Jerry Gray, and Hal Dickinson in 1941 and was an instrumental that was broadcast over the radio. This is a composition that was not released as an RCA Bluebird 78 but was performed by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra live for radio broadcast. The Jack Million Band recorded this instrumental on their album In the Mood for Glenn Miller.
The absolute precision of this band first caught my attention and I also came to realize what great arrangemnts it played. Miller realy didn't want his band to be a jazz band so his soloists had not a lot of occasions to improvise.This was definitely the greatest danceband of all time.
