There was a short revival of a band named Glenn Miller Orchestra in the 1940s.

The band was successful, but Beneke didn't like having to follow Miller's old arrangements precisely.

[3][4] Beneke formed his own band, "Tex Beneke and His Orchestra: Playing the Music Made Famous by Glenn Miller"[5][2] There was a second revival of the name Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956, which has continued well into the 21st century.

The Glenn Miller Orchestra has recorded and performed under various leaders, from 1956 to this day.

[6] Larry O'Brien served as director of the World-Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra from 1981 to 1983 and from 1988 to 2010.
