That Sentimental Gentleman collects 25 performances recorded for NBC on remote broadcasts by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra between 1940 and 1944, a period just after the prime years of the band. Though there aren't any true rarities here, the sound quality is good for the time and the performances are hot. Highlights include Buddy Rich's drum feature on "Hawaiian War Chant," Frank Sinatra's farewell to Dorsey (and the passing of the torch to Dick Haymes) with a September 1942 performance of "The Song Is You," and a feature for Bunny Berigan on "Hallelujah." ~ John Bush

I've worn out three LP copies of this album, and now I've got a copy that won't wear out! YIPPEEEE!
If you've never heard Tommy Dorsey's band live, this is the place to start. All of TD's great soloist and vocalists are here -- Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Bunny Berigan, Ziggy Elman, Johnny Mince, etc. At its peak in these 1940-44 airchecks, Tommy Dorsey's band could swing hard or purr pretty, depending on the mood of his audience. And nobody but nobody could play the trombone Like Tommy Dorsey -- even symphony players emulated him back then. Essential!
