On Friday, Shades of Blue, the US Air Force jazz ensemble performs at Glenwood's Davies Amphitheater. The professional musicians play swing, big band, and modern jazz, including work by Iowa native Glenn Miller.
If that's not enough Glenn Miller for you, the annual Glenn Miller Festival in Clarinda, Iowa runs from June 6 to June 9. Clarinda is the birthplace of the famous big band leader who died in plane crash while directing the Army Airforce Band during WW II.
