This has always been my favorite Glenn Miller piece. One of the "coolest" pieces of music from that era. I've seen the orchestra live twice. Well worth it.
Charles, I'm 67, and this song was a part of my dad's music. "Cool" had a certain meaning when I was a teenager, but, listening to this tune, and imagining a guy in his early 20's, in a new suit, casually sauntering down some avenue in NY or Chicago in the late 1930's ... I think I get what "cool" might have meant back then.
This sounds to me a lot more like Erskine Hawkins' arrangement - the original, done in 1939 - than the one Miller did in 1940. Still has the trumpet fanfares that Miller put in his arrangement - which I always liked. But is hotter than Miller's 1940 version.
I am 14 and I play the trupet. We played Glenn Miller Medley at our brass band. I shined with a solo at American patrol. I have one more year at basic school or whatever it˙s called (We have different school organisation) and I hope I will be able to go to Music High School playing Jazz trumpet and hopefully becoming one of the best Slovenian lead trumpet (screamer). Glenn Miller inspired me, so I want to pay him back in some way. Let˙s do this and win against crappy music.
I hope you're still with us. This takes me back to my childhood, when my dad raised me on this music. I'll always be grateful for that. I have a feeling this particular tune would have been one conveyed a quality of being "cool" for that generation. i listen and I can visualize a guy sauntering down a boulevard in the city, in no hurry, just hanging out with buddies.
How can you not listen to this and want to dress up and go out to dinner in a quiet, elegant place with your bestest person...? When times were meaningful and the "place" and the "person" was a defining moment. I have several of "those' banked in my feeble mind. Thanks to "Glenn" and "Benny" and "Harry" and all of the rest of you guys.
I played this tune in highschool. This brings back memories. I have always loved the sound of the tenor trombone and the bass trombone. I played both tenor and bass trombone. I was primarily a bass trombonist in highschool when it came to jazz then for concert band I played the Tuba which really helped me out. Now my little brother's a third generation Tuba player. My father played the Tuba as well. Now watching my little brother playing the tuba brings back great memories.
This song would, in my opinion, be the greatest big band tune EVER. The Glenn Miller band must remain immortal so future generations can appreciate this fantastic era of quality music born in the war era of WW2. I was born in 1961, a bit late for the real thing but thanks to my parents appreciation of this music I also was brought up with it, as well as the Beatles, Cliff Richard etc.
¿Alcanzarian las alabanzas para describir la admiración que uno siente al escuchar este maravilloso arreglo?....Indudablemente uno se rinde ante el encanto de este sonido maravilloso donde el arte se viste del color de la gloria. Gracias a quien tuvo el tino y el acierto de subir tan linda melodía. Una vez más expreso que la música de antaño seguirá siendo la mejor. Desde Lima la capital del Perú, comentó Luis Espinoza, Directivo de la Asociación de Locutores del Perú y ligado a la buena música desde 1950. Gracias.
When it comes to ballroom dance music, after all of these years, there is still nothing like Glenn Miller's music. Glenn miller was the rage the same year I was born, and that was a long time ago.
Literally this is my favourite piece in the world. I play in my school jazz band and we just performed on stage. Huge success. The music of today pop, rap and R&B will never be, is not, and was not better than this. Glenn Miller had a legacy that will never die.
I agree with samgalah. Im in my 50's now and it was my father who introduced me to this music on 33 rpm records. I liked it and continue to even now. I also like the groups of the 60's-the beatles, rolling stones, dave clark, monkees. I was a clarinet player in a hi school band and played some jazz too. Today's youngsters should be made aware that this type of beautiful music used to dominate the air waves too.
WoW, One of the best modern renditions of this piece of swing I have ever heard. And what was that "Baritone Sax"? Quite the monster machine! Next to "In The Mood", Tuxedo Junction never failed to get a party going, even as late as the early 1970's when everything was Grand Funk Railroad and Deep Purple.
I love it. I played this while in High School Jazz Band. I played the Baritone Saxophone as well and had the exact same solo as the lady playin her bari sax.. Not gonna lie...hot.
Let's lighten up and enjoy this music. It is great music. I listen and smile and sometimes miss my parents who are gone now - it was their music. There is no harm in delivering it in a fun way. This isn't a funeral. I would love the music even if they all just sat still playing, but why require it? It seems they are or may be Germans, and when this music came out Germans were Miller's enemy. Now they show their love for his stuff by playing it in peace so very wonderfully. Al, the nvp
As a teenager when this music was in its heyday you cant get any nearer than this to the original.Bang on to rights as they used to say. Perfect. T. Heslop.
Ugh> i CANNOT say enuf GREAT things about this, my all-time favorite song, and this UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME recording, and video of it! Def a ***** out of ***** rating..(at least to me..) ever since i first heard, and learned it on alto sax in junior high school, there is nothing quite like the joy this song brings to you>>> Lovin it>> "Tuxedo Junction..Now.."
This was one of my parent's favorites for dancing from their early married days shortly after Pearl Harbor (from the time Glenn Miller wrote it), until each left us in the last few years (Dad just last week). I can almost see them together again up there dancing it now.
I remember as a kid (early 1960's) my dad goofin' with a few dance steps when my mom's phonograph was playing glenn miller as they were getting ready to go out to some event with dancing. They were known in their big families to be among the best jitterbug couples. I never noticed their talent until my second wife mentioned it at their 50th in 1992 (thier last dancing) -- never paid attention before that as it wasn't my kind of music yet. Live anad learn! Al, the nvp
Что значат в этом случае слова??? Гленн Миллер ТАЛАНТИЩЕ! Он не будет забыт! Жизнеутверждающая,поднимающая тонус и влияющая на здоровье в лучшую сторону м у з ы к а!
Played this song in HS marching band at football games during timeouts...ah those were the days...Why arent these people dancing? Glenn Miller Orchestra was/is a dance band, get up and dance people...
Glenn Miller, lo magnifico en su epoca, siglo XX, Director de una Orquesta Banda que motivo que resurgieran otras y hacer una epoca maravillosa de la buena música instrumental. ¡ EN MEMORIA ! Desde la Ciudad de Guadalajara, Jalisco. México. DIOS nos guarde. 🇲🇽 . Saludos.
No one can dance elegantly anymore to this music. GM was a dance band. They're treating it like a museum display

wHo cannot feel mellow and cool on hearing this one?
I really started listening to Swing bands music in late 1958 and found I enjoyed it much more than rock and roll. Much better MUSIC.
Это можно слушать бесконечно. Великолепный джаз, виртуозное исполнение... Браво!
My childhood music. And there's always something special in a lady with a saxophone.
Does that bring back memories. Would sit and listen to all the big band music with my grandparents growing up as a kid. That was real music
I'm getting old, I remember watching this on a black and white television before color TVs were available.
I am 14 and I play the trupet. We played Glenn Miller Medley at our brass band. I shined with a solo at American patrol.

I am the 500th person to like this song...that was for u glenn RIP
Damn, that second solo trumpet player has got some mad range! I also love the way the bari sax player kept it simple and groovin'.
Ditto!
My favorite Glenn Miller this is the tune I learnt to dance and I was good at it old memories keep me alive at eighty two the good old Days
Literally every time I start listening to this song, i get a huge grin.
I LOVE GLENN MILLER
when ever i listen to this music it almost brings tears to my eyes thinking of a once great era and peoples now nearly gone and forgotten
Glenn Miller lives on with his music and the unique arrangements. It takes me back to the 40's/
I hope you're still with us. This takes me back to my childhood, when my dad raised me on this music. I'll always be grateful for that. I have a feeling this particular tune would have been one conveyed a quality of being "cool" for that generation. i listen and I can visualize a guy sauntering down a boulevard in the city, in no hurry, just hanging out with buddies.
takes me back to being a kid at my Grandparents home...my Pa would whistle every song, as I do now lol.....just not as good.
How can you not listen to this and want to dress up and go out to dinner in a quiet, elegant place with your bestest person...? When times were meaningful and the "place" and the "person" was a defining moment. I have several of "those' banked in my feeble mind.

My father played the Tuba as well. Now watching my little brother playing the tuba brings back great memories.
I love the sound of this song, it's smooth, suave and debonair...
Can you imagine a grand mother or father whose pride and joy "made the team" and played for the band?
This song would, in my opinion, be the greatest big band tune EVER. The Glenn Miller band must remain immortal so future generations can appreciate this fantastic era of quality music born in the war era of WW2. I was born in 1961, a bit late for the real thing but thanks to my parents appreciation of this music I also was brought up with it, as well as the Beatles, Cliff Richard etc.
What a delight. I close my eyes and I see the GIs, all those years ago, over here in England in the early 1940s dancing to the big band sound.
I'm with you all the way on that one. Those days are gone, and we need to bring 'em back.
i think this is possibly the best arrangement ive ever heard on tuxedo junction...
and the bari sax solo, just keeps the song in heaven

Fantastic ! Glen Miller, Ted Heath etc is what makes music great. The beat, instruments and musicians. 'Feelgood music' at any time :)
That trumpet solo in the middle of the song was just amazing and smooth,
la atmosfera norteamericana se respira escuchando y viendo esto aagradesco haber nacido en estos tiempos y no en la edad media.
Wonderfuloutstandingteemisexcellent
Das ist eines der besten Trompetensolos die ich in meinem Leben gehört habe :)
Purer Neid dem Solisten gegenüber *__*
want to like it more than once!

a lot of young uns today are missing...
There is classic jazz, then jazz with class.
thanks for one of the best recordings of tuxedo junction ever
I remember when I played this one solo on the clarinet to a public. Some old gusy came up to me and said "You did that one well!" ;P
I was just about to say the same thing!
I'm in band and my instructors are always telling us to move and dance to the music (marching band).
This was one of my parent's favorites for dancing from their early married days shortly after Pearl Harbor (from the time Glenn Miller wrote it), until each left us in the last few years (Dad just last week). I can almost see them together again up there dancing it now.
I love how the only girl there is playing the Bari Sax. Way to go, girl!
The Glenn Miller Orchestra is going to playing at the Seattle Symphony!
THIS CLASSY MUSIC IS THE BOMB😀
I love the ostentatious bow after a very short and simple trumpet solo.
That little lady can play a mean baritone sax... almost as big as her. You go girl!
I remember as a kid (early 1960's) my dad goofin' with a few dance steps when my mom's phonograph was playing glenn miller as they were getting ready to go out to some event with dancing.
