Beautiful! Now I know the name of this tune which I heard when I was maybe 10 from the neighbors' radio through their window (they were old and liked old music) in the 70s. Looks like I remembered it pretty well too.

Great vehicle for Don's quarter-tone trumpet ! Saw this wonderful, crazy band Live in Visalia, Ca. back then. My date was unimpressed but me being the (HS)...ahem... musician, I dug this band and their crazy polyrhythmic tunes !!!

TD was a great trombonist and musician. Sinatra credits Dorsey for teaching him phrasing and breath control. Buddy Rich credits Dorsey for teaching him how to be a bandleader. Not sure if that was such a great thing.

I have always loved that piece by Tommy Dorsey, having heard it often on the radio as a kid back in the 1950s and I still have a 78 RPM record of it that my uncle gave me from when he worked in a record store.

Trombonists today would lose sleep over having to play a single statement of this melody (let alone carry the whole song), and Tommy did it every night. I've heard no historical reports of him every stumbling. That's the stuff of legends, and why he is rightfully revered.

What great playing. Another season song Tommy Dorsey played was “Song of India” oh That sound with The “SonoTone Mute” had me wondering what was that unique sound, I hear it played so no idea of how that sound was produced. I finally see the KZbin video of Tommy playing and then some research and Infind that snazzy mute yet it took the talent and playing skills of Tommy Dorsey to make that magic sound and tone.

As good as it gets! I love the interplay between Mulligan (with his deeper sax tone) and the ever marvelous Ben Webster. Thanks for posting this somewhat blurry, but essential video.

This clip was from an unaired pilot for a show for Frankie Lane, buried in the Moving Image Archive. There are so many great clips out there that just need to be surfaced and curated.

Oh wow! I got here via Bruce Jenkins' book about his dad "Goodbye, In Search of Gordon Jenkins", who wrote the (parody) lyrics for this. According to the book that's Gordon Jenkins conducting his orchestra. There's a chapter in the book that talks about their work together starting in 1949.

Yes, the sound is coming across in the key of E flat, 1/2 step higher than the original D. It makes T.D. sound even higher. But he's playing the positions that would be in the key of D. Is he wearing a toupee'?

Just fantastic. In addition to his marvelous control and sheer musicality, no one who I have heard recreating this solo has managed to get that beautiful, poignant, "melancholy" quality that Dorsey seemed to achieve every time he played this song. A true great.

Mary Ann Niles would become Fosse's first wife before being displaced by Joan McCracken. Mary Ann gave him his real start into formal dance training but not in a formal way; more like absorption.

why did small bore trombones go out of style?
@tuckerhamilton2 жыл бұрын
they really aren’t out of style, just less common. large bore f-attachment trombones have become cheaper to manufacture and more readily available but small bore t-bones are still favored among jazz players, if you look at a lot of professional jazz trombone sections they will almost all use small bore horns except for the bass bone player.

No, it came from his dad and uncle Will Mastin. He didn’t get to know his mom this later in life. She didn’t teach him anything.
