Great disappointment!
I was exspecting a complete discography of TD, but I was disappointed that TD the bandleader was ommited in favour of the recordings he made as sideman. I was interested in the recordings he made as leader of a Big Band or the Clambake Seven for RCA, MCA Coral, Columbia or Roulette. In my opinion his importance as bandleader was greater than that as soloist.

This review is from: Tommy Dorsey (Hardcover)
The first review of this book was too brief and too harsh -- even though the author has a point or two. There already are substantially complete discographies of Dorsey's contributions to big band music from the thirties onward. It is much, much harder to discover his contributions as a young sideman during thw 20s. This was when Dorsey met many important musicans for the first time (Miff Mole, Jack Teagarden) and started to develop his lyrical style, that has since influenced four generations of trombonists. This is a VERY important contribution to any person researching the development of Jazz during the 20s and early 30s.
