Glenn Miller was an iconic American band leader, jazz, and swing musician from the 1930s and 1940s. He was known for his trademark sound: a distinctive melody in the clarinet, tenor saxophone, and trombone, accompanied by a saxophone section and a rhythm section. His music had a relaxed, upbeat feel that captured the spirit of America during World War II.

Miller's unique vocal technique consisted of the use of a tightly knit ensemble to create a blend of horns, reeds, and rhythm that was completely focused on dancing and entertaining. This technique became the standard for big band jazz and is still studied and emulated today. Miller's top songs to showcase his style include "In the Mood," "Chattanooga Choo Choo," and "Moonlight Serenade" - each one a classic of the genre.
