It's no surprise that Gordon "Tex" Beneke was from Texas, the nickname "Tex" being bestowed upon him by Glenn Miller, and it was in Miller's band, as saxophonist & singer, that Beneke established his reputation. Following discharge from the Navy in late 1945, Beneke undertook leadership of the Glenn Miller Orchestra with considerable success until forming his own band molded in the Miller style. The 22 tracks featured here are from 1946-50. |
