I’ve heard Edgar Haye’s and Glenn Miller’s versions, but this is by far my favorite. It just sounds full of jive, and it’s also got a strong beat and a different opening, which I hardly expected
I've only ever heard Glenn Miller's take on this tune (which, don't get me wrong, is iconic), but I think I actually like this version better because Ernst van't Hoff really makes it his own. It's far different from the original recording and that's what makes it stand out. What a truly exceptional arrangement!
French dance band leader Ray Ventura also recorded a completely arrangement of In the Mood in 1946. Interestingly, the trombone soloist heard here, André Smit, played for Ventura on that recording. In America, Teddy Wilson's big band and Edgar Hayes' big band also recorded different versions of this iconic piece.
@refothiew This was recorded in 1941, so before Pearl Harbor. Recording British compositions was already 'verboten', American ones not. The RKK had quite a few regulations though. Mutes were not allowed, no scat singing and no music written by Jews. However, for 'export only' they pressed everything they could lay their hands on. These records were freely available, but only below the counter.
Gegen die Willkür gerade Himmlers half das wohl wenig. Bei den völkischen Oberspinnern geriet man leicht in die größten Schwierigkeiten, wenn die Musik zu sehr dem Feindbild des "jüdisch-amerikanischen-Kulturbolschewismus" entsprach.
I think they could make a tighter groove pitch to accommodate the little extra play time.remember too that the very beginning showcases the machine for playback and the record itself on the platter.
Great that Van 't Hoff (who is the steaming piano soloist) commissioned an original arrangement from, probably, Hans Vlig, which offers much more solo room than Miller's classic recording. Nice touch: listen to the tenorist's octave jump as he comes in; Tex Beneke in his solo for Miller ends it with an octave jump.
Kraftvoll, zupackend, lebensbejahend - ja, und mitreißend! So wie diese Interpretation und das kreative, also ganz eigengestalterische Arrangement der Bigband von Ernst van t'Hoff, so auch diese Filmausschnitte des Alltags in Berlin. (Ach ja: Ernst van t'Hoff war damals, 1941, als internationale Star-Kapelle für den herrlichen, großen Berliner "Delphi Palast" an der Kantstraße engagiert). Die Bilder sind wahrhaft passend und lebendig dazu - buchstäblich "taktvoll" ausgewählt! Okay: Zwar zeigen diese offenbar den Zustand kurz vor Kriegsbeginn, Sept. 1939, was ja viele Einschränkungen, so z.B. aus Gründen des Luftschutzes bedeutete (Verdunkelung: keine Lichtreklamen mehr, Autoscheinwerfer mit dunklen "Masken" - aber, ja noch kein: "Corona" (Scherz!) -, welche damals in Schlitzen das Scheinwerferlicht dosierten etc.)! Und dennoch: Riesenkompliment für diesen Clip - spät zwar (auf YT ja seit 2012), aber dennoch nicht "zu spät"! Fazit: Große Klasse und besten Dank... Als kritischer Nachsatz: Wenn man indes die Ignoranz, also das Nichtwissen heutiger sog. "Kulturschaffender" in Berlin bedenkt, die derlei Traditionslinien und vor allem solches musikalisches und alltagsgeschichtliches Niveau oftmals nicht einmal erahnen, dann könnte man doch etwas melancholisch werden. Nu' ja: "Tempi Passati" - aber dass derzeit die Vergangenheit derart von den politischen-medialen Kartellen beiseite geschoben und verdrängt, wird schmerzt dann desto mehr.
I believe it is the original sheet music version. I was confused for years about this arrangement until I looked up Joe Garland's intent and recognized the opening bars immediately.
No it was recorded in Germany by the bigband of Ernst van t´Hoff They played in Delphi Palast were they recorded this, In may they went to Stuttgart. some days later, the GeStaPo ordered closure of the band. He is arrested for some days.
Really first rate swing sounds with the underpinning of a great, strumming rhythm guitar. But, all the players are right in there. I may actually prefer this to the classic GM recording!
Probably not. When Joe Garland composed and arranged the tune (which had already been around for some years) for the Edgar Hayes band he would have received a lump sum. Same when he sold the arrangement to Glenn Miller, who never received a penny in royalties for his hit recording either. It was RCA's cash cow and nobody else's.
@syncopeter As you might see it! But I only wonder that it was possible to make records in Berlin within those years of war and terror government - and even with an American hit!
It was a fully Dutch orchestra from the Netherlands. After the arrest, Rinus van den Broek, Herre Jager, Joop 'Tip' Tichelaar, Tinus Bruijn and the German Rudi Thomas move to the German orchester of Lutz Templin. He forms a new bigband.
The carillon of the Potsdam Garrison Church played that tune and the local people invented their own lyrics for it, they praise uprightness, honesty and loyalty and so the tune became something like an unofficial Prussian anthem. That is why the radio station "Deutschlandsender" used it as trailer to help people tune in correctly during pauses and before broadcasts.
Liebe NS-Nostalgiker: Die Platte ist von 1941, die Filmaufnahmen aber nicht. Es gibt noch keine Verdunkelung, die Autos haben noch nicht die schwarzen Kappen, die nur einen schmalen Lichtkegel auf die Straße werfen. To all of you who think how fine Berlin looked like even in wartime: The cars do not have those black caps over their headlights that only shed a slim beam of light onto the tarmac right in front of them. Those amateur footage is from pre-war times.
I kind of knew that German swing bands back then would take risks.I know that Kurt Widmann would get in trouble with the gestapo.I saw a film that focused on the bombing of Dresden,In this engagement party ,the Nazis and the band get drunk and start playing swing music and dancing swing music Americans were dancing.the kind of dance you would not see in german films of the time
Yes and no. Muffled trumpets were not allowed, some style of singing was forbidden, English lyrics were not allowed, and any moment a public performance could be intercepted by police or SS under any pretence you could think of. Swiss bandleader Teddy Stauffer recalls incidents of that kind in his memories.
a quite original arrangement, with a bit of Moten Swing at the start. Van t'Hoff had quite bad reputation in Holland. In the autumn of 1944, when it was clear that Deutschland could lose the war withing months, he fled to Brussels, playing for the American troops. Good band leader, horrible person. He was the first to fire Jewish musicians, way before the official regulation was published. A very wrong person, like Willem Mengelberg and Johan Heesters.

That was not Berlin in 1941. No signs of blackout, full streets, full shops, too many cars and none of them with caps over their headlights, and the later part of the videos is film material from the late 1920s and early 30s, look at those awful "Claire Bow" style potty hats and box-shaped cars like that Waltons' Ford A. But the music was recorded in Germany in 1941. To some degree "swing" was allowed, but as under all arbitrary regimes, you could never be sure how long you did not run into trouble because of playing or listening to it.
It was a dictatorship. Hitler was a dictator. Commonly all dictatorship systems have dark sides. I meant that the NSDAP dictatorship in Germany was not very totalitarian compared for example to the Stalin´s Soviet Union. Germany had relatively free press to the beginning of the WWII (war cencorship). In Norway (occupied because the UK/war strategy reasons) all people were not critical. For example Knut Hamsun (Nobel prize in literature 1920). He and his wife supported Hitler without any critic.
Pas très exact, tout, je dis bien tout était sous le contrôle de Goebbels, il laissait passer parce que cela leur convenait, mais c'était bien la même saleté qu'en URSS, le racisme en plus.

Berlin da konnt man auch swingen .Swing war wohl erlaut ! Mein Opa War bei der Reichsbahn und der ging oft tanzen ,und zwar Swing aus Deutschland.
Gegen die Willkür gerade Himmlers half das wohl wenig. Bei den völkischen Oberspinnern geriet man leicht in die größten Schwierigkeiten, wenn die Musik zu sehr dem Feindbild des "jüdisch-amerikanischen-Kulturbolschewismus" entsprach.
Großartiger Sound und dazu diese Videos!!
Whow! Klasse Aufnahme. Bin begeistert!
Nice arrangement. Very good sound quality (compared to many US and UK recordings at the time), and unusually long for a 1940 78 rpm.
It is almost certainly a 12 inch or metric equivalent size
I think they could make a tighter groove pitch to accommodate the little extra play time.remember too that the very beginning showcases the machine for playback and the record itself on the platter.

Potsdammer Platz - damaged during the war, but entirely wiped out after the construction of the Berlin Wall. And then, after 1990, completely rebuilt.
Looks more like the late 1930,s than wartime 1941.
@@martinnoyes8507 The film footage is definitely from the 1930s. The record is supposed to be from 1941.
Thoroughly enjoyable American music played by Germans. Wonderful footage of Berlin with trams, buses and smartly dressed people.
And just one stinking swastika in shot
@@unclestuka8543 Would you have preferred the city before? I don't believe so.
@@Squidsha I would have loved Berlin up to 1930. before you know who.

These were mainly Dutch musicians, including van 't Hoff himself. But I prefer American music played by Americans....
Well I'm in the mood now!
Deutschlandsender, das ist vom Feinsten!
Klasse Aufnahme des Glenn Miller Klassikers 👍😊 erstaunlich, was 1941 in Deutschland noch produziert werden konnte. Da geht richtig die Post ab.
Im Grunde ist über den Song eine zweite Melodie gelegt worden. Genial!
Cette vidéo est sensationnelle
La musique bien sur
Mais aussi la mise en image
L'ambiance musicale( le son quelque peu nasillard)
Vraiment très bien
tighter rhythm, not so much swing in this performance as 'push.' LOL. thank you for posting this.
Tolle swingende Aufnahme und schöne Bilder von Berlin. Vielen Dank!
Gott sei Dank, dass das Stadtschloss wiederaufgebaut wurde.
Ein interessantes Video mit schooner Musik! Danke! * Walentina, Russland.
It's Recorded in Germany (Berlin)
Die Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächnis Kirche noch in voller Pracht....
Amazing pictures from Berlin before blast…
Very good version !! (y)
Da hält der Fernzug noch am Bahnhof Zoo - und man konnte aussteigen und gleich in die Wilhelmshallen tanzen gehen...

Both of my grandfathers refused WW2 service...one stated' i will not fight against my brothers in Europae'...
erstaunlich, wirklich, was möglich war; wer recherchiert, kommt zu Erkenntnissen, dass wohl der Orchesterleiter nicht ganz freiwillig in Berlin war...
Kannte ich noch nicht, tolle Darbietung eines Ami-Schlagers, den jedes Orchester mal gespielt.

Great swing, also available in Germany "under the counter", and great trip through the Berlin of olden days, with the original Stadt Schloss !
Swipe under the counter, please. The music was available everywhere.
Grandios👍

In december 1941 is was played in Belgium under the title "Dans l'Lambience" (krieg Germany versus USA)
Glenn Müller?
Hätte man damals den Wahnsinn gestopp, wäre alles anders gekommen....

Alle schönen Gebäude in diesem Video von 1941 wurden durch alliierte Bombenangriffe zerstört. 1945 ist kaum ein Stein auf dem anderen geblieben.

Must have been recorded before the Pearl Harbor attack and not yet banned. Nice Mozart tone at the start of the video, Papageno’s wish.

It is silly to place American Swing music with a short film of Berlin in 1941. They could at least place music from someone like Lilan Harvey.
