Other discographical highlights
[edit]Recordings as sideman, arranger, and leader: 1926–1930
[edit]The first authenticated recordings made by Glenn Miller were in 1926. In the fall of 1926, Earl Baker, a cornetist, made recordings on cylinders using the Edison Standard Phonograph recording device, making the first recordings of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, and Fud Livingston. Miller and Goodman were both in the Ben Pollack and his Californians band at that time. The Ben Pollack band was in Chicago, Illinois, to make studio recordings for Victor. The Baker cylinders are available on the album "The Legendary Earl Baker Cylinders", released by the Jazz Archives record label as JA43 in 1979. The songs performed included "Sleepy Time Gal", "Sister Kate", "After I Say I'm Sorry", and "Sobbin' Blues".[3]
- "When I First Met Mary" – recorded on December 9, 1926 in Chicago as part of Ben Pollack and his Californians which featured Benny Goodman on clarinet. The recording was released as Victor 20394.
- "He's the Last Word" – recorded on December 12, 1926 with Ben Pollack and featuring a solo by Benny Goodman
- "Room 1411 (Goin' to Town)" – Miller's first known composition, written with Benny Goodman in 1928 and recorded with Miller's peers was released on 78 as Brunswick 4013.
- "Solo Hop" – composed by Glenn Miller in 1935 when he began recording under his own name which features a trumpet solo by Bunny Berigan. The record reached number seven on the Billboard singles chart in 1935 becoming Miller's first hit record.
- "Dese Dem Dose" – with the Dorsey Brothers and Ray Noble.
- "When Icky Morgan Plays the Organ" – recorded with the Clark Randall Orchestra in 1935. Clark Randall was the pseudonym of Frank Tennille, the father of Toni Tennille of the Captain and Tennille. Most of the band members in the Clark Randall Orchestra were part of the Bob Crosby Orchestra.
- "Annie's Cousin Fanny" – with the Dorsey Brothers in 1934, vocal by Kay Weber and orchestra. This song was covered by Dick Pierce, Russ Carlton and his Orchestra, Marshall Royal and Maxwell Davis on the album Studio Cuts which includes two takes of the song and in 2000 by Mora's Modern Rhythmists Dance Orchestra, a ten-piece ensemble that plays jazz and swing from the 1920s and 1930s. The record was banned by radio stations in 1934 because of suggestive lyrics relying on double entendre.[4]
- "Every Day's a Holiday" was a 1938 Brunswick 78 single by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra that reached number 17 on Billboard, staying on the charts for one week. This was Glenn Miller's second hit record before he switched to the Bluebird label.
- "Doin' the Jive"
- "Community Swing"

A version was released as V-Disc 65A in December, 1943 with a spoken message by Glenn Miller: "This is Captain Glenn Miller speaking for the Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra and we hope that you soldiers of the Allied forces enjoy these V-Discs that we're making just for you."
| ||

Released as V-Disc 123A in February 1944 as an "Orchestral" side by Capt. Glenn Miller and the AAFTC Orchestra.

| |
| V-Disc | 201 | "Moon Dreams" / "Sleepy Town Train" |
Captain Glenn Miller and the Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra / Glenn Miller and His Orchestra | "Moon Dreams": Vocal by Johnny Desmond and the Crew Chiefs, was recorded with the Glenn Miller AAF Band and released as V-Disc 201A in October, 1944 and Navy V-Disc 114B. The music was written by Chummy MacGregor and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.[7][8] Gil Evans was also a main arranger for the Claude Thornhill orchestra in the forties, which was financed by Miller.[9] As such, Glenn Miller had a very slight relationship with modern jazz, tangential nonetheless. Incidentally, Miles Davis did not like Thornhill's interpretations of some bebop songs that Evans arranged, like "Donna Lee", calling them "mannered". Despite this, Evans and Davis were best friends and collaborators for the rest of their lives. The Miles Davis Nonet recorded a live performance of "Moon Dreams" in 1948 in New York. Martha Tilton also recorded a version in 1942.[10] Jazz historian Richard Jessen has also proposed that Miller's recording of "Wham" from August 1, 1939, predates the same phrasing used in famed bebop track "Salt Peanuts" by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in 1944.[11]
