'''Alton Glenn Miller''' (1904-1944) was an [[American]] [[Big Band]] leader and trombonist who achieved celebrity in the 1930s and early 40s and apparently died when the military aircraft on which he was travelling disappeared on December 15, 1944.

Miller was born in [[Iowa]] but his family moved around the [[Midwest]] and he was living in [[Missouri]] when he obtained his first trombone and became interested in dance music while at high school and then college in [[Colorado]]. He abandoned college to become a professional musician, touring with several bands, and working as a freelance trombonist and session musician, before forming his first band in 1937. A reformed band concentrated on a tight harmonic sound of clarinets and saxophones, and had major hits such as "Tuxedo Junction" and "[[Chattanooga Choo Choo]]".
