Joe Garland
Joseph Copeland "Joe" Garland (Aug. 15, 1903, Norfolk, Virginia – April 21, 1977, Teaneck, New Jersey) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and arranger, best known for writing "In the Mood".
Garland studied music at Shaw University and the Aeolian Conservatory. He started by playing classical music but joined a jazz band, Graham Jackson's Seminole Syncopators, in 1924, where he first recorded. He had a long run of associations as a sideman on saxophone and clarinet, with Elmer Snowden (1925), Joe Steele, Henri Saparo, Leon Abbey (including a tour of South America), Charlie Skeete and Jelly Roll Morton in the 1920s. The 1930s saw him playing with Bobby Neal (1931) and the Mills Blue Rhythm Band; he was both a performer and an arranger for the Blue Rhythm Band from 1932 to 1936, when Lucky Millinder replaced him. Following this he played with Edgar Hayes (1937), Don Redman (1938), and Louis Armstrong (1939–42). In the 1940s he played with Claude Hopkins and others, and then returned to Armstrong's band from 1945-47. Following this he played with Herbie Fields, Hopkins again, and Earl Hines (1948). In the 1950s, he went into semi-retirement.

Bli Blip
by: Ella Fitzgerald(scat intro)
My love to you I bring
On account of you can sing
Bli-blip, bobby, flam, flam, flam, hit the yaddle oddle bayou
My love for you is true
On account of you can do
Bli-blip, bobby, flam, flam, flam, hit the yaddle oddle bayou
My poor heart, gives a start
Like a jitterbug, just won’t stop
Mix your crooning, with my spooning
And let me blow my top, mop!
Your love to me I’ve sworn
On account of mine is y’orn
Bli-blip, bobby, flam, flam, flam, hit the yaddle oddle bayou
(scat interlude)
My poor heart, gives a start
Like a jitterbug, just won’t stop
So mix your crooning, with my spooning
And let me blow my top, mop!
Your love to me I’ve sworn
On account of mine is y’orn
Bli-blip, bobby, flam, flam, flam, hit the yaddle oddle bayou
