In the Mood
Alton Glenn Miller (March 1, 1904 missing December 15, 1944), was
an American jazz musician, arranger, composer, and band leader in the
swing era. He was one of the best-selling recording artists from 1939 to
1942, leading one of the best known "Big Bands." Miller's signature
recordings include In the Mood, Tuxedo Junction, Chattanooga Choo
Choo, Moonlight Serenade, Little Brown Jug and Pennsylvania 6-5000.
"In the Mood" is a song popularized by the American bandleader Glenn
Miller in 1939, and one of the best-known arrangements of the big band
era. Miller's rendition topped the charts one year later and was featured in
the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade.
The song, a twelve-bar blues, was composed by Joe Garland and Andy
Razaf, and arranged by Glenn Miller himself . The main theme previously
appeared under the title of "Tar Paper Stomp", credited to jazz
trumpeter/bandleader Wingy Manone, who recorded it several times in
1929 and 1930. A story says that after "In the Mood" became a hit, Manone
was paid by Miller and his record company not to contest the copyright.
