Ray McKinley & Eddie Sauter

Borderline

CD - Savoy Jazz  SV-0203

Ray McKinley was an American jazz drummer, singer, and bandleader. McKinley was a good friend of Glenn Miller, and both joined the Dorsey Brother band in 1934, and, later, McKinley played in Miller's Army Air Force Band. After the war, McKinley formed a modern big band that featured a book of original material by legendary arranger Eddie Sauter (along with a helping of novelty vocals by the leader). In 1956, capitalizing on the popularity of The Glenn Miller Story movie with James Stewart, McKinley was chosen to be the leader of the revived Glenn Miller Orchestra.

This compilation captures the best of McKinley's period with Eddie Sauter.
