- Big Band at it's best
I have "In the Christmas Mood" Vols.1 and 2 and they are the best Christmas recordings in my collection. The current Glenn Miller Orch. owes it's huge success to Larry O'Brien who has been it's director for many years. The band is constantly touring the U.S. and even has an annual engagement in Japan and other parts of the world. In January 1992 they recorded an album called "Here We Go Again" (Ranwood RDS 1007). The arrangements follow Glenn Miller's original and the trombone solos by Larry O'Brien are spell binding. He follows Tommy Dorsey's style but does it much better than Tommy simply because he is a perfectionist. Surely Glenn would be very proud and thankful knowing his band is still #1.

- holiday music that couldn't be better!
For any that love holiday music, and especially for those that like Orchestra music such as the great Glenn Miller, this is the CD for you. All the great holiday tunes with the special and wornderful touch of swing music by the greatest orchestra. Be sure to include in your purchase...or at least consider them for next time...In the Christmas Mood 2 and In the Nutcracker mood; they are just as wonderful.

- Great buy for the money
The "Chicago Swing Fan" who complained below may do well to remember that Glenn Miller's never really was a swing band. Miller was foremost a businessman, and his orchestra played commercial dance music. Good dance music? Good big band music? Yes, I think so, but in terms of swing, he didn't hold a candle to Benny Goodman in his prime. Having said that, don't expect hot, jazzy swing from this CD. If you like the old Miller records, you'll love this CD. It was recorded sometime around 1990 by the current band going under the Miller name, and all in all, represents a tasty selection of holiday goodies in authentic Miller style. Occasionally, some of the arrangements sound bit more "modern" than anything Miller would have played in his lifetime, but the general feeling is there. The disc is well-recorded and has great sound. It's quite pleasant and makes a great accompaniment for decorating the tree, Christmas parties, ... Read More

- Puts me in the Christmas mood
I'm not a swing or Glen Miller afficionodo, but I really enjoy this cd. The songs have on old time feel, but one that works for me because of it's swing/big band roots. I was suprised to find a few tracks with vocals, but they don't detract fornm the overall feel of the cd and actually provide a nice mix to the set. The final song, "In The Christmas Mood" is an original which nicely sums up the entire project. I use this and it's sister albums (In The Christmas Mood II and The Glen Miller Nuctcracker) as background music at partes and it never fails to get people festive and dancing around the room. My only complaint would be that running at 40:41, it seems the party ends too soon. But I guess that's more of a compliment than a complaint isn't it?
