IN THE MOOD recreates the rhythmic, jazzy, brassy, sentimental, romantic and patriotic music of the 1940s. Creator and producer Bud Forrest is a Juilliard trained pianist and conductor who served as accompanist for the Air Force chorus The Singing Sergeants. He compiled the greatest music from the swing era into a revue about the big band era and the influence of this music during the WWII years. The second act is experienced as a moving tribute to those who fought in World War II.
