THE MILLER SOUND LIVES FOREVER! ®

PROFILESThe first Glenn Miller Orchestra did not make it at all. It was a total and absolute economic failure. But Glenn knew what he wanted, held to that dedication and relentlessly worked to succeed. He launched his second band—the one that lives on today—in March of 1938. The Glenn Miller Orchestra has been a “hit” ever since.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930s and ’40s. A matchless string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theaters, hotels and dance pavilions, built and sustained the momentum of popularity.

Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. It went to Europe to entertain servicemen performing numerous live and radio shows. On Dec. 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later.

With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6, 1956, and under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glenn’s disappearance, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Other leaders have followed Ray including clarinetists Buddy DeFranco and Peanuts Hucko, trombonists Buddy Morrow, Jimmy Henderson, Larry O’Brien and Gary Tole, and tenor saxophonist Dick Gerhart. Since January 2012, vocalist Nick Hilscher has led the band.

Today, the 18-member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound.

Just as it was in Glenn’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.

Nick Hilscher is a first rate singer of the American Songbook. A native of Atlanta, GA, he began his professional career in his teens, playing piano and singing in the Atlanta area. His early musical influences were Elvis Presley,

Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. A piano student of Atlanta’s Harris Wheeler, Hilscher was encouraged to pursue music professionally. Hilscher continued his studies in college under the tutelage of Donald Sanders at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. During this time he was awarded runner up in the 1997 Alabama Collegiate Artists Piano Competition. He graduated from Samford University in the spring of 2000 with a Bachelor of Music degree in piano performance.

In 1998, Hilscher became the featured male vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. He worked with the Glenn Miller Orchestra for one year, taking a year off from college, and then returned to school to finish his degree. After earning his degree in 2000, Hilscher returned to his singing post with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, performing an average of 300 shows a year in venues like the Hollywood Bowl and New York City’s Birdland. His touring has taken him to all 50 United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America and Japan.

During this period, Hilscher had the pleasure of working with trombone great and musical director for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Larry O’Brien. Hilscher is featured on several albums with the Glenn Miller Orchestra: On the Air (2002) and Steppin’ Out (2005).

In 2002, Hilscher recorded his first solo album entitled Nick Hilscher Sings with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, (produced by Charlie Bertini of Orlando, FL, www.applejazz.com, and engineered by Freddie Breitberg of Chicago). This recording features original big band arrangements written by Raleigh Dailey, Paul Ferguson, Mike Kamuf, Tony Migliore, Jeffrey Steinberg and Dave Wolpe.

Hilscher worked with the Glenn Miller Orchestra until February 2005. Since that time, he has been performing solo acts as well as small tours as a featured artist with various bands. In 2005, Hilscher was the featured vocalist for a 100th birthday celebration of Tommy Dorsey with the Julliard Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Victor Goines. During the same year, he was the featured vocalist with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra on a cruise celebrating Tommy Dorsey’s 100th birthday, and continued in that role working closely with the legendary Buddy Morrow. Morrow, who directed the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra from 1977–2010, served as a great encouragement and mentor to Hilscher, bringing out the best in Hilscher’s performances and musicianship. Hilscher was chosen to carry on as director of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra after Morrow’s passing.

In April 2010, Hilscher released his newest solo album with big band, Young and Foolish. The album features the music of Hank Williams, Sr., Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Roger Miller, Nat “King” Cole and Cole Porter. All of the music on this recording is arranged and orchestrated by Hilscher.

Hannah Truckenbrod is a jazz vocalist who hails from Aurora, IL. From a young age, Truckenbrod was immersed in the arts through

school and community groups where she played multiple instruments, performed in shows, and took art classes. In high school, the ambitious musician was invited to sing with the jazz ensemble, and her love for jazz classics was established.

Truckenbrod’s curiosity for different singing styles and the jazz idiom led her to pursue and earn a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies from Western Michigan University in the spring of 2018.

Truckenbrod has performed with artists such as Kurt Elling, Ben Folds, Randy Brecker and the New York Voices. As a section leader for WMU’s premier vocal jazz ensemble, Gold Company, Truckenbrod has performed internationally and appears on multiple DownBeat Student Music Award-winning recordings in the group. In the spring of 2018, Gold Company was awarded first place at the Monterey Jazz Festival Next Generation Competition, and Truckenbrod was recognized as one of three outstanding soloists from the vocal festival. Every day brings a new adventure, and Truckenbrod is grateful and so excited to be a part of the Glenn Miller legacy.
