Hal McIntyre was an American saxophonist, clarinetist, and bandleader. Glenn Miller heard him play and drafted him as a founding member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, where he played from 1937 to 1941. Miller encouraged McIntyre to start his own group and starting in 1941 he put together his band where they played many major ballrooms throughout the United States, and played overseas for troops during World War II. This was one of the first shows I produced for Big Band Bash. I redid this show with new selections for this episode. I hope you enjoy this look at the great bandleader and saxophonist, Hal McIntyre.
