Joe Garland: In the mood / DBS Clarinet Quartet

In the Mood
Composer: Joe Garland
Arranger: Diego Marani

“In the Mood" is an arrangement by Joe Garland based on an existing composition titled "Tar Paper Stomp". The main theme features repeated arpeggios that are rhythmically displaced. When Garland offered this song to clarinetist Artie Shaw, Shaw chose not to record the composition because the original arrangement was too long. Instead, he ended up performing it in concert. We hope you will enjoy the performance, and please stay tuned for our videos next year. Happy new year and we wish your 2022 will be as joyful and jolly as this song!
