Review

Here are hits from the best years of a band that was hugely popular from the 1930s to the 1950s. Dorsey, "the sentimental gentleman of swing," was justly renowned for his refined, singing-and-sighing trombone playing. His band could be driving, but emphasized the smooth and the dulcet, in keeping with popular, swing-era demand. Among these most-loved Dorsey sides are the million-sellers like Pine Top Smith's anthem "Boogie Woogie," and "Song of India," a Rimsky-Korsakov revamp that swingingly exudes adventure in the jungle. Great soloists like Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson, and Buddy DeFranco are here, as are arrangements by Sy Oliver, whom Dorsey cleverly hired away from Jimmy Lunceford's vaunted band. The early 1940s, the Sinatra years for the Dorsey band, also are reflected. --Peter Monaghan
