Start of Orchestra
The combination of Glenn Mil
ler's music with Ray McKinley's
direction is nothing new; it is al
most 25 years old. The combina
tion culminated when McKinley
took over Miller's Army Air Force
dance band when Major Miller \vas
lost in action during World War
II.
Their story starts in Chicago
during the early thirties. Miller
was just beginning his career as
an arranger and trombonist in Ben
Pollacks' band. McKinley was just
starting as he had just conic from
Ft. Worth, Texas, and was drum
ming in a night club.
When Miller left Pollack's band

Scheduled
it Columbia
to organize a band for Smith Bal
lew, he chose McKinley to be his
drummer. After leaving the Bal
lew band Miller helped to organ
ize the Dorsey Brothers' Orches
tra. He also wrote arrangements
for this band.
Then Miller got together a band
in America for Ray Noble before
Noble came here from England.
McKinley stayed with the Dorseys.
Miller Band Formed
In 1937 Miller decided to begin
his own orchestra, but it was the
spring of 1939 before the public
became aware of its existence.
Miller then entered the Army with
the rank of Captain in Oct., 1942,
only to lose his life in a flight
over the English channel in 1944.
McKinley, during this time,
stayed with Jimmy Dorsey's or
chestra until he decided to join
with Will Bradley and form a
band. Then McKinley entered the
service and served with Miller.
Later he went back to Ft. Worth
where he became a disc jockey.
After having television shows,
organizing bands, and playing the
drums with other bands, McKinley
became the director of the Miller
hand. He uses Miller's entire mu
sic library and has the backing of
the Miller estate.
Today the Glenn Miller music
is made available to the American
public under the direction of and
featuring Ray McKinley.
