Celebrity Big Bands

 

    The World Famous, Glenn Miller Orchestra, the most popular and sought after big band in the world today for both concert and swing dance engagements. With its unique jazz sound, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time. The present Glenn Miller Orchestra was formed in 1956 and has been touring consistently since, playing an average of 300 live dates a year all around the world. Trombonist Larry O'Brien is the orchestra's present musical director.


     The great Artie Shaw once wrote a book entitled "The Trouble With Cinderella". It was the autobiography of a complex musical genius. When Dick Johnson got the call from Artie to front his orchestra in 1983, Dick was quick to realize that this was his own Cinderella story. Dick idolized Artie Shaw, the clarinet titan. The first big band recording Dick purchased in 1941 was Artie's "Concerto for Clarinet", which Dick now performs nightly.
