There’s that 13-count sax beat, then the trumpets and trombones, and even if you don’t know the name of the piece, you know it when you hear it.

It’s “In the Mood.”

Ah, right.

The 1939 arrangement, perhaps Glenn Miller’s most famous work, is also the name of the 1940s musical revue coming to the Scenic City on Thursday.

“In the Mood,” under the direction of producer and creator Bud Forrester, is now in its 17th touring season.
