Glenn Miller Theorem
The Glenn Miller movement is the name given to the saxophone register introduced by Glenn Miller in his big band , which he founded in 1937 and extended by a clarinet ( Hal McIntyre on the first recordings) . It consists of two alto and tenor saxophones as well as a Bb clarinet, with the latter playing the leading voice. This made him different from other big bands.
One also speaks of the Glenn Miller sound (Glenn Miller sound) when this movement also plays in a flickering vibrato .
