Advantages: Big Band Music Disadvantages: He died aged only 40 years old
On 15th December 1944, GlennMiller mysterious disappeared onboard a plane headed for Paris. Neither the plane or GlennMiller were ever found. There are many theories about what happened to the plane, but no-one really knows for sure. Many think the plane crashed due to bad weather. One theory is that the plane crashed when a fleet of Lancaster bombers jettisoned bombs. The plane caught in the shock waves of the explosions plummeted in the sea ? a victim of ?friendly fire?. For his dedication, Miller was awarded the Bronze Star.
GlennMiller will though always be remembered. His musical style and showmanship turned Big Band Music into a popular trend with a massive following with many memorable pieces including, "Moonlight Serenade", "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", "String of Pearls" and "In the Mood".
