Tommy Dorsey - Dorsey,tommy

Tenderly: The Best Of The Decca Years - Because bandleader Tommy Dorsey had so many hits during the 1930s and '40s, his later work has been comparatively ignored or dismissed. But the 70 choice selections here, recorded with fine musicianship and in great sound from 1950 to 1953, show that Dorsey was still a formidable trombonist. Includes two new versions of Tommy's theme, I'm Getting' Sentimental Over You, one with chorus and the other with only the trombone section, piano, and bass (never before on CD). Dorsey's trombone skills were still in formidable form when these 1950-53 recordings were made. You'll find many overlooked gems here (most collections focus on his earlier hits, of course): "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "September in the Rain," "Indian Love Call," "The Dirty Dozens," "The Blue Room," "Tenderly," "Ritual Fire Dance," "Blue and Sentimental," "Cheek to Cheek," "Body and Soul," "It's a Lovely Day Today," "In a Sentimental Mood," "Liza Jane," "Charmaine," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Alone Together"...70 tracks!
