Glenn Miller - In The Mood

ORIGINATION The Best Of Glenn Miller
LAST LISTENED TO not too sure
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT quite good since i heard The Puppini Sisters' version yesterday
RATING

Smoooooth. Smooooooooooth. Such smoooooth, smooooth brass. It's all very wonderfully creamy and neat. Not one rasping note and everything played straight from charts. All the build ups, calls and response and the creamy, smooooth, smoooth brass. The final climax - steel fist in a velvet glove. This may not be my usual jazz cup of tea, but just once in a while nothing beats it. I'm floating off now…

RATING

I suspect that it may not really be fashionable to like this kind of jazz, especially this tune which always seems to turn up playing in nursing homes in films. But i do like it. I love its warm, soft buttery textures and the relaxed pace. The tone of the brass is so nice too, having just enough edge to hint at the power that it is holding in check, whilst never once breaking out. It's all quite like having an aural bath and i mean that in the very nicest way. After a few nights of rogh sleep, i couldn't ask for better than this.
