Pretty good. I never knew it was also called "In the Mood". I always knew
it as "Opus One".
Anyway, one of my favorite big band tunes.

There's an interesting piece of trivia associated with "In The Mood".

It was originally called "Tar Paper Stomp" and was written by Joe
Garland who was a sideman/composer for a number of black big bands.
The lyrics were written by Andy Razaf who was an African-American
lyricist who did a number of big band tunes.
