(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Cd covers Jimmy Dorsey's 1936-37 "swing" period quite well. (Not to be confused with his later "big hits" period, which featured duets with Bob Eberle and Helen O'Connell with a Latin-American flavor). Of course, Bob Eberle is heard here on several tunes, as well as other vocalists, Don Matteson and Frances Langford. CD also features the 1936 recording of "Pick Yourself Up", which was never issued by Decca in the US. This is an older CD issue, which means the music does have some scratch sounds, but that is to be expected."
