More about ‘In The Mood’
Composed by Joe Garland; arranged by Glenn Miller, with input from Eddie Durham and Chummy MacGregor.
Recorded by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra on August 1, 1939 for RCA Bluebird in New York.

Miller’s first broadcast “In the Mood” was on a July 26, 1939 sustaining remote broadcast over NBC’s Blue Network from Glen Island Casino. This was the four and a half minute version of the tune. Miller performed it at faster tempo for jitterbugs in keeping with the original tempo of the 1938 Edgar Hayes Decca record performance. With added flourishes in the opening and false endings at the close, the tune became an immediate favorite of dancers at Glen Island Casino and of listeners of the radio broadcasts.
Miller recorded “In the Mood” for the RCA Bluebird label August 1, 1939 at RCA Victor Studio 2, New York. It is matrix number BS-038170-1 and was issued as Bluebird B10416-A, and paired on the Bluebird disk with “I Want to Be Happy” recorded at the same session.”
