Boy, that’s fantastic. American culture was really approaching its zenith back in those days.

I never heard a Dorsey trombone solo I didn't like.I had a dear friend back in the '80s who actually worked for both Dorseys.His name was Skeets Herfurt.He and Glenn Miller were from Denver.Skeets joined the new Dorsey Brothers Orchestra in 1934.He stayed until 1937 after Jimmy Dorsey took it over then left in the summer of1937 to play alto sax for Tommy.We were friends from 1982 until his death ten years later.

Technically that happened many times in various groups of the 20’s and early 30’s including when Miller was an arranger and trombonist in The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra before Jimmy split off. Miller was a solid technician but considered himself an arranger first and foremost. He didn’t play bone at all with his first band. With the second successful band he decided to break it out. And, as George T Simon wrote, “To hell with Tommy Dorsey” One of the most interesting groupings was in 1930 in the Broadway Pit of “Girl Crazy” that Red Nichols assembled. Benny Goodman and Jimmy Dorsey sharing alto and clarinet duties. Gene Krupa percussion. Charlie Teagarden trumpet and Jack Teagarden and Miller on bones with Miller doing special arranging for George Gershwin including the coda of “I’ve got Rhythm.” On stage were Merman and Ginger Rogers with special choreography by Fred Astaire (actually dating Ginger at the time) No cast albums then. But you can hear essentially the same pit that year if you search here for Red Nichols “I’ve Got Rhythm”
