Product Description

2009 two CD collection. Though he might have been ranked second at any given moment to Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller or Harry James, Tommy Dorsey was overall the most popular bandleader of the swing era who's high standards and attention to detail made him a maestro of the swing band. From the lively introduction of 'The Music Goes 'Round and Around', we're off and swinging, and with great musicians throughout this fantastic double disc set including Sterling Bose, Bud Freeman and, of course, Dorsey himself. Amongst all the fine solo's to be heard in this collection, it is impossible to forget the superb trombone of Tommy Dorsey: just listen to the solos on 'Sailing At Midnight', 'My Own', 'You're As Pretty As A Picture' and 'Thanks For Everything' if any proof be needed.

By	B. McCanna "Barry McCanna" (Normandy, France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first complete set of recordings by the Clambake Seven, that group within Tommy Dorsey's orchestra. It played in a free-wheeling Dixieland style, often featuring vocals by Edythe Wright. The group satisfied the leader's taste for a more spontaneous output, and provided an interlude during performances by the big band. The group began recording at the tail end of 1935, cut just two tracks in 1936, and much of the output was created during 1937. It's a pleasure to listen to music of this quality, which will set your toes tapping and bring a smile to your face.
