SUMMARY:The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:In Big Band history\, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands. It could swing with the best of them\, and no other band could come close to Tommy’s when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey\, “The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing”\, was a master at creating warm\, sentimental\, and always musical moods\, whether leading the band or playing the trombone. \nToday’s One and Only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra continues this great tradition for audiences worldwide\, and fans of all ages.
