Our Take

Tommy Dorsey, the man, the myth, the trombone legend, graces us with his presence on "Giants Of The Big Band Era," a compilation that transports listeners back to a time when swing was king and the clarinet reigned supreme.

From the opening notes of "Opus One" to the sensational swing of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," this album is a rollicking ride through the heyday of big band music. Dorsey's signature smooth vocals and impeccable trombone skills shine bright on each track, reminding us why he was truly a giant of his era.

But it's not just Dorsey who steals the show here. The entire band is a force to be reckoned with, delivering tight arrangements and infectious melodies that will have you tapping your toes and swinging your hips in no time.

While some may dismiss big band music as a relic of a bygone era, "Giants Of The Big Band Era" proves that this music is timeless and still has the power to captivate and delight audiences of all ages. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let Tommy Dorsey and his band take you on a trip down memory lane. Trust us, you won't regret it.
