Glenn Miller and his Orchestra recorded 'Blueberry Hill' and 'Nearness of You' for HMV MH92. Miller was America's biggest swing bandleader of the early 1940s and one of the most recorded musicians of the era; his band's distinctive sound—trumpet, clarinet, and trombone leads over a swinging rhythm section—defined the swing era. Both sides are popular standards.
