Hello there! In this third entry of the GMF series, we’ll be witnessing, in great detail, the Glenn Miller Orchestra as they play various tunes from the year 1943, when Glenn was in his Army Air Forces Band, as well as some familiar Miller tunes as well! I’m so glad that bandleader Erik Stabnau let me take a photo with him, as well as agree to my request for an interview with him for the following day, just before their hosting of the swing dance competition portion of the festival! I hope you enjoy this very late upload of the third chapter of the Glenn Miller Festival!
P.S.- I know this is like 3 months late, but I still hope you enjoy this late upload!

Have Jan Slottenäs as a guest leader!

I think Jan Slottenäs was at the Festival, alongside Wil Salden and other bandleaders of the various GMO’s from around the world, even from Japan. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this and missed a HUGE opportunity to meet-and-greet them as well as I did Erik Stabnau.

This version of the GM Orchestra is a bit inconsistent. The tempo on "Little Brown Jug" and "The Lady's in Love With You" shows that they can swing nicely. A few of the earlier tunes were a bit loose.

AAF versions without a string section

Yup! In the concert they mentioned how it was sad they couldn’t get the string section, but would definitely have gotten them if they could!

Is that the Glenn Miller Zombie Band? The Glenn Miller Orchestra scandinavia is much better!

Yeah, I have to agree that Jan Slottenas's and Wil Salden's bands are arguably much better, but it's what we have over here in the states. By the way, both Wil and Jan were at the festival, if I recall correctly.

Try living on a bus every day and criss-crossing the USA & Canada several times a year. It’s called a Road Band, and literally the only one left. It’s a grind and tbe guys and gal do their best, every night.

A sought-after band without temperament and motivation.

Well, for being one of my first times seeing these kinds of bands live, they weren't half bad. Though, as previously mentioned in your other comment, I'm sure that if GM Scandinavia comes back, I'll be blown away by them. People also say that this band was much better off with Nick Hilscher, who was at the festival.

Excellent Miller sound, I liked very much the arragement of I'll Be Seeing You, but the whole program is fantastic. Pretty close to the original Miller recordings.
