In Big Band history, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands. It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could come close to Tommy's when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey, "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", was a master at creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods – at superb dancing and listening tempos. Tommy sustained these moods through the arrangements of the likes of Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl and Sy Oliver, and he showcased singers who could project them brilliantly.

The music world lost Tommy at an early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra still represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its very best.

Nostagic times. There was a juke box in our gym area playing many of these tunes. Kudos to
the T.D. Orchestra for keeping it LIVE.

The singer has a Nat King Cole vibe. Great singer!

1:25:52 is the Theme - " I'm Getting Sentimental Over You"

NOT ONE PLACE IS IT MENTIONED THAT JEFF BUSH IS LEADING THE BAND, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES....

All that is needed is to see Buddy Rich on the drums, Tommy on the trombone, Frank Sinatra on vocals and all them-there others of the 1940s.
Who doesn't wish for that?

MORT KUFF ( I remember when)

How come the lady on Bari is playing the intro on Bari when it's written for bass clarinet then change to Bari ...?

[ChuckParDueMusic]

I would have started by having the Reeds tune up!
