Dusk In Upper Sandusky - Jimmy Dorsey And His Orchestra

The swinging 1938 Jimmy Dorsey His Orchestra. They also recorded this number for Decca featuring also Ray McKinley on drums.
James Francis Dorsey (February 29, 1904 - June 12, 1957) was an American jazz clarinetist, saxophonist, composer and big band leader. He recorded and composed the jazz and pop standards "I'm Glad There Is You (In This World of Ordinary People)" and "It's The Dreamer In Me". His other major recordings were "Tailspin", "John Silver", "So Many Times", "Amapola", "Brazil (Aquarela do Brasil)", "Pennies from Heaven" with Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, and Frances Langford, "Grand Central Getaway", and "So Rare". He played clarinet on the seminal jazz standards "Singin' the Blues" in 1927 and the original 1930 recording of "Georgia on My Mind", which were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Jimmy Dorsey is considered one of the most important and influential alto saxophone players of the Big Band and Swing era, and also after that era. Jazz saxophonists Lester Young and Charlie Parker both acknowledge him as an important influence on their styles.
In 1996, the U.S. Postal Service issued a Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey commemorative postage stamp.
In 2009, the Recording Academy added the 1942 recording of "Brazil (Aquarela do Brasil)", by Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra, to the Grammy Hall of Fame. Jimmy Dorsey was among the hundreds of artists whose material was destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire

The original record has always been one of my favourite showcases of both Mac's drumming and the expertise of the whole JD band. Nice shots of the leader, Mac, Bobby Byrne and Roc Hillman. Jimmy always led a great outfit.
