Synopsis

Album 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. Jasmine.

CD Reviews

Clambake complete, with fine remastering

Brian H. Williams | Manteca, CA United States | 03/06/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's nice when record companies release the complete recordings of important segments of a musician's discography. As is the case here with the Dorsey Clambake recordings. Most people always think of Tommy with his big band, I do too. This group was much more swining and had a clear slant towards the dixie syle. Now, every cut but four has vocals by Edythe Wright and some by Jack Leonard. So if you are put off by early big band vocalists, this may be a problem. But frankly, I think Edythe Wright's voice is MUCH more listenable than her rival with Benny Goodman, Helen Ward. Helen's high pitch voice never really appealed to me. I'll take Edythe's deeper, raspier sound any day. She may come off as a little cold, but only occasionally. The classic track is of course, Tommy's take on the Raymond Scott tune, Twilight In Turkey. The arrangement is so different from any version I've heard. You will not recognize the tune at all. In other words, it's brilliant! So if you are a Dorsey completist, you have to buy this set. Good news is that the remastering is first rate. Best sound I've ever heard from these old 1930's recordings. Buy it and listen to the way jazz used to be."
