"Room 1411" has always been shown to be written by Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. It says so on the Brunswick 78 label from 1928 and when it was re-released in the 1940s. It should be noted that session work by a contributing musician *can be substantial enough to merit a co-writing credit, it's the actual copyright filing that reveals the originator of the material. To be completely sure, check www.loc.gov or harryfox.com to ascertain the songwriting and publishing assignment of the work. Glenn Miller was not, however, a "contributing musician" or session player but a member of the band, Benny Goodman's Boys. Here is a website that shows that Glenn Miller co-wrote the song: http://www.siue.edu/lovejoylibrary/musiclistening/NRJA/collections/NRJA_records/titles_p-r.htm Here is another website that shows that Glenn Miller was the composer: https://www.alibris.com/search/music/track/Room%201411%20%5BMiller%20Goodman%5D
During the time period, popular music was jazz and big band and swing. Popular artists include Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman.
Absolutely! He led the most popular dance band in the US during the early 1940s. However some purist music critics didn't consider him to be a serious jazz musician because he played more popular tunes than jazz, so in that sense a small minority didn't take him seriously.
Swing era of the 1930s and the 1940s
Zeke Zarchy passed away on April 12, 2009. Miller's plane was lost during World War II but his band was not on it with him. Zeke was the last band member to see Miller alive, having talked with him at the airfield just before takeoff. Glenn Miller's band did not die with him. Zeke settled in Southern California after the war and worked as a studio musician for television and films for many years. He played in many Glenn Miller Reunion bands and toured Japan over 30 times, along with studio work for both CBS and NBC staff orchestras, and with the Great Pacific Jazz Band with Bob Ringwald. Zeke passed away on April 12, 2009 (Sunday - not Saturday as stated in the obit) See the link for more information on his career.
