I was first trombone and played that solo at my high school jazz showcase last year. One of my favorites!

@macree01 Your opinion is defininitely in the minority. GMs arranginging skills kept him working regularly rather than his playing skills. I know of no solos of GM that are cited as classics technique-wise, nor of anything that exhibits an outstanding range or ideas. A cursory poll of tiop trombonists today would concur. Woody Herman, Gunther Schuller, George T. Simon have all borne this out.

@rmayer821 Glenn Miller was actually a fabulous trombonist with a technique all the equal to Tommy Dorsey. He just got a bad rap for not showcasing himself enough.

@spongebo13 Remember though, they had a real war going on, you know, the last war that America was actually physically threatened by its enemies.
