The Glenn Miller Orchestra received the first gold record ever awarded for its version of “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and, in 1941, had more hit records than any artist in the history of the recording industry. In 1942, at the height of the band’s popularity, Glenn Miller enlisted and formed the Army Air Force Band to boost troop morale. After Glenn’s disappearance in 1944, the band was led by Tex Beneke until disbanding in 1950. In 1956, the Miller Estate authorized the formation of the present band due to popular demand generated by “The Glenn Miller Story” starring Jimmy Stewart. They thought it would run a couple of years.

Under the direction of Nick Hilscher, the World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra continues to tour year-round, including an annual tour of Japan (since 1964). With songs like “In the Mood,” “A String of Pearls,” “The American Patrol,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Little Brown Jug,” “Pennsylvania 6-5000,” and “Moonlight Serenade,” it’s no wonder the Glenn Miller Orchestra remains the most popular and sought-after big band in the world today.
