"In the Mood" puts Glenn Miller's orchestra of 1939 on record at full strength, and the roster of players is worth a read. Miller himself sits in the trombone section alongside Al Mastren and Paul Tanner, while Clyde Hurley, Legh Knowles and Dale McMickle man the trumpets.
The reed section runs deep: Tex Beneke and Al Klink on tenor saxophone, Hal McIntyre and Wilbur Schwartz on both clarinet and alto, and Harold Tennyson doubling on alto and baritone. Chummy MacGregor on piano, Richard Fisher on guitar, Rolly Bundock on double bass and Maurice Purtill on drums keep the swing moving underneath. The credits give the music to Wingy Manone and the words to Andy Razaf.
