[Dixielandjazz] Clyde Hurley

Regarding "In the Mood" yes there were different versions. But the most  
familiar one has Clyde Hurley's famous solo: From Allabout jazz.com Another 
version that  is noteworthy was in the final concert

 "In the Mood has two built in solo sections, including one of the  famous 
"tenor battles between Tex Beneke and Al Klink. Beneke became a star  while 
with the Miller band, playing a smoothed-out version of Coleman Hawkins'  
style that nevertheless fit perfectly in with Miller's conception. Many felt  
that Klink could hold his own with Beneke, but Beneke always got the solos, 
even  when arrangers tried to write in parts for Klink. The other is a 
16-bar trumpet  solo by Clyde Hurley which leads into the famous fade-away 
ending, which to this  day is a model of suspense and dynamics. "
 
 
 
With no dis-respect to Mr. Ingle, Bobby Hackett's famous solo was in  
"String of Pearls." 
 
Thanks,

I  have at three different recordings of Glenn Miller doing "In the Mood"
at  three different tempos - I wouldn't doubt if there were more. Perhaps
there  were different trumpet soloists?

Cheers,

Oops! I belivee that it  was Bobby Hackett doing the "In the Mood" solo. 
He was actually playing  guitar with Miller but was featured on some 
recordings on solos. His solo  work on Miller's "From one Love to 
Another" was oustanding then - and  still is.
Clyde was a good player and strong leader in ensembles with Matty  and 
otehrs, and an in demand studio guy.
