In this rare classic TV clip, Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra plays his theme song, I'm Getting Sentimental Over You. This forgotten clip is from an unaired pilot for "The Frankie Lane Show" on CBS in 1950.

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.

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.

Like the saying went, "When Tommy gets to heaven, the angels will switch from harps to trombones..."

I have loved this tune since, perhaps, I was a child.

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.

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.

I always take my hat off to him. Perfect phraising of the high notes. To this day it is very difficult to recreate it so elegantly ...

No one comes close to Tommy Dorsey , from that period is a favorite like Laura from the 1944 great music that lasts forever thanks to you guys whoever you are wherever you are.

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.

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.

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'?

bizarre, his slide positions are in the key of D but the audio is in a different key entirely. Power of vinyl baby.

Another thing I noticed it sometimes sounds like what is now called a mel-o wah mute in his trombone

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.

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.
