This arrangement of In the Mood is written with accessibility in mind. It is arranged for a standard jazz combo of Alto and Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet and Trombone plus rhythm section of Bass, Drums and Piano/Guitar, and aims to deliver the big band sound with a smaller group. The solos from the original Glenn Miller recording are transcribed and notated in full, though players may prefer their own improvisations. This arrangement is ideal for smaller groups and combos looking to add this perennial favourite to their repertoire.
The single pdf file you download contains both the full score and the individual parts. Performance time is around four minutes.
The key, structure and overall feel is faithful to the original by the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
