HERE WE GO AGAIN features new recordings of original Glenn Miller arrangements performed by the 1992 Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Ghost bands dot the jazz circuit, as the territory is fertile for listeners who want to wax nostalgic on music the way it was. Larry O'Brien and Bob Bonis collaborated in 1992 to revive the sound of the Glenn Miller Orchestra by playing their original charts on these selections. They should be given kudos for avoiding the most overdone hits, tackling more jazz oriented material as "Perfidia," "Runnin' Wild," or "Bugle Call Rag," and including well known standards, not exclusively Miller's, such as "Stardust," "Skylark," and "Rhapsody in Blue." The music is played well, not spectacular, but better than adequate. ~ Michael G. Nastos
