    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell

    “In the Mood”—Glenn Miller (1939) Added to the National Recording Registry: 2004 Essay by Cary O’Dell Glenn Miller Original release label “Sun Valley Serenade” Though Glenn Miller and His Orchestra’s well-known, robust and swinging hit “In the Mood” was recorded in 1939 (and was written even earlier), it has since come to symbolize the 1940s, World War II, and the entire Big Band Era. Its resounding success—becoming a hit twice, once in 1940 and again in 1943—and its frequent reprisal by other artists has solidified it as a time- traversing classic. Covered innumerable times, “In the Mood” has endured in two versions, its original instrumental (the specific recording added to the Registry in 2004) and a version with lyrics. The music was written (or written down) by Joe Garland, a Tin Pan Alley tunesmith who also composed “Leap Frog” for Les Brown and his band. The lyrics are by Andy Razaf who would also contribute the words to “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Honeysuckle Rose.” For as much as it was an original work, “In the Mood” is also an amalgamation, a “mash-up” before the term was coined. It arrived at its creation via the mixture and integration of three or four different riffs from various earlier works. Its earliest elements can be found in “Clarinet Getaway,” from 1925, recorded by Jimmy O’Bryant, an Arkansas bandleader. For his Paramount label instrumental, O’Bryant was part of a four-person ensemble, featuring a clarinet (played by O’Bryant), a piano, coronet and washboard. Five years later, the jazz piece “Tar Paper Stomp” by Joseph “Wingy” Manone, from 1930, beget “In the Mood’s” signature musical phrase.

    XIII. Revivals and Recreations; The Sociology of Jazz By the early 1970s, as we have seen, jazz was in a state of stylistic chaos. This was one reason why the first glimmers of “smooth jazz” came about as both an antidote to fusion and an answer to “outside jazz.” But classical music was also in a state of chaos. The majority of listen- ers had become sick of listening to the modern music that had come to dominate the field since the end of World War II and had only become more abrasive and less communicative to a lay audience. In addition, the influx of young television executives in that period had not only led to the cancellation of many well-loved programs who they felt only appealed to an older audience demographic, but also the chopping out of virtually all arts programming. Such long-running programs as The Voice of Firestone and The Bell Telephone Hour were already gone by then. Leonard Bernstein had been replaced at the New York Philharmonic by Michael Tilson Thomas, an excellent conductor but not a popular communicator, and thus CBS’s “Young People’s Con- certs” no longer had the same appeal. In addition, both forms of music, classical and jazz, were the victims of an oil shortage that grossly affected American pressings of vinyl LPs. What had once been a high quality market was now riddled with defective copies of discs which had blis- ters in the vinyl, scratchy-sounding surfaces and wore out quickly. Record buyers who were turned off by this switched to cassette tapes or, in some cases, the new eight-track tape format.

Bolig The advent of this online discography is a continuation of record descriptions that were compiled by me and published in book form by Allan Sutton, the publisher and owner of Mainspring Press. When undertaking our work, Allan and I were aware of the work started by Ted Fa- gan and Bill Moran, in which they intended to account for every recording made by the Victor Talking Machine Company. We decided to take on what we believed was a more practical approach, one that best met the needs of record collectors. Simply stat- ed, Fagan and Moran were describing recordings that were not necessarily published; I believed record collectors were interested in records that were actually available. We decided to account for records found in Victor catalogs, ones that were purchased and found in homes after 1901 as 78rpm discs, many of which have become highly sought- after collector’s items.

    Settimanale Di Migros Ticino Quello Swing Perduto

    Quello swing perduto Settantacinque anni or sono in questo periodo ancora ci si interrogava su cosa ne fosse stato di Glenn Miller / 17.02.2020 di Enza Di Santo In quei giorni di metà dicembre del 1944, su nord e centro Europa le condizioni metereologiche erano pessime. Il 15 dicembre la nebbia avvolse le coste inglesi e si estese lungo il Canale della Manica, ma il «Norseman» Noorduyn UC-64 monomotore decollò lo stesso per Parigi, destinazione che avrebbe raggiunto poco meno di due ore più tardi attraversando una rotta sicura. A bordo del velivolo militare, il Pilota J. Morgan, il Tenente Colonnello N.F. Baesell e il Maggiore Anton Glenn Miller incaricato dell’intrattenimento delle truppe alleate in Inghilterra e a capo della Air Force band. Miller avrebbe dovuto esibirsi con la sua grande orchestra nella Capitale francese da poco liberata dai tedeschi, ma non ci arrivò mai. Del Norseman si persero le tracce. La scomparsa del Maggiore, annunciata solo alla vigilia di Natale, ebbe un notevole impatto mediatico: nell’era dello swing, durante la grande depressione, Glenn Miller, arrangiatore, trombonista e soprattutto capofila della più famosa big band di quei tempi, era svanito nel nulla, lasciando il silenzio nelle sale da ballo frequentate dai soldati che avevano smarrito uno dei simboli della loro generazione. Che fine aveva fatto l’artista che tra 1939 e il 1942 aveva venduto più dischi di tutti? La nebbia aveva inghiottito il compositore per il quale era stato ideato il disco d’oro, premio assegnatogli nel 1942 per aver raggiunto, in soli 3 mesi, il milione di copie venute del 78 giri di Chattanooga Choo Choo e I Know Why.

    Red Nichols From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols the hood man Born May 8, 1905 Ogden, Utah, US Died June 28, 1965 (aged 60) The Mint Las Vegas Genres Jazz Occupation(s) Musician, bandleader, composer Instruments Cornet Associated acts California Ramblers, Paul Whiteman Ernest Loring "Red" Nichols (May 8, 1905 – June 28, 1965) was an American jazz cornettist, composer, and jazz bandleader. Over his long career, Nichols recorded in a wide variety of musical styles, and critic Steve Leggett describes him as "an expert cornet player, a solid improviser, and apparently a workaholic, since he is rumored to have appeared on over 4,000 recordings during the 1920s alone." Biography Early life and career Nichols was born on May 8, 1905 in Ogden, Utah. His father was a college music professor, and Nichols was a child prodigy, because by twelve he was already playing difficult set pieces for his father's brass band. Young Nichols heard the early recordings of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and later those of Bix Beiderbecke, and these had a strong influence on the young cornet player. His style became polished, clean and incisive. In the early 1920s, Nichols moved to the Midwest and joined a band called The Syncopating Seven. When that band broke up he joined the Johnny Johnson Orchestra and went with it to New York City in 1923. New York would remain his base for years thereafter. In New York he met and teamed up with trombonist Miff Mole, and the two of them were inseparable for the next decade.

    “In the Mood”--Glenn Miller and His Orchestra (1939) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Dennis M

    “In the Mood”--Glenn Miller and His Orchestra (1939) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Dennis M. Spragg (guest post)* “The Anthem of the Swing Era” On August 1, 1939, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra recorded the Joe Garland composition “In the Mood” for RCA Bluebird records. It became a top-selling record that would be permanently associated with Miller and which has become the easily recognized “anthem of the swing era.” “In the Mood” appears to have been inspired by several earlier works from which the tune was developed. Once composed, it remained a “work in progress” until recorded by Miller. The first indication of a composition with elements resembling what would become “In the Mood” was “Clarinet Getaway,” recorded by the Jimmy O’Bryant Washboard Wonders in 1925 for Paramount records. It is matrix number P-2148 and was issued as Paramount 12287. It was paired with a tune titled “Back Alley Rub.” The recording was made by a four-piece band with Arkansas native O’Bryant playing clarinet and accompanied by a piano, cornet and washboard player. Following O’Bryant, similar themes were evident in the Wingy Manone recording of “Tar Paper Stomp.” Manone’s recording is considered the genesis of “In the Mood” by most jazz historians. The recording is by Barbeque Joe and his Hot Dogs, the name under which Manone recorded at the time. Manone recorded “Tar Paper Stomp” on August 28, 1930, for the Champion label (which was acquired by Decca in 1935). Reissues credit the record to Wingy Manone and his Orchestra.
