Our Take

Tommy Dorsey, the man, the myth, the trombonist extraordinaire. In this compilation of his essential recordings, Dorsey takes us on a musical journey through swing, jazz, and everything in between.

From the infectious energy of "Boogie Woogie" to the smooth and sultry tones of "In The Blue of Evening," Dorsey showcases his versatility and talent as a musician. His arrangements are tight, his band is on point, and his trombone skills are unparalleled.

But let's not forget about the vocals on this album. With classic tracks like "I'll Be Seeing You" and "There Are Such Things," Dorsey proves that he can hold his own as a bandleader and as a crooner.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and clear. Whether you're a die-hard fan of big band music or a casual listener looking to expand your musical horizons, Tommy Dorsey's The Essential Recordings is a must-have addition to your collection.

So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of Tommy Dorsey transport you to a bygone era of music. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
