Wasn't that Cat ANderson on the high trumpet?? I have the original 78 of this song. My recently deceased dad gave it and many others to me as a kid and I've loved the Big Bands and Swing era music ever since.

Ah! I knew it - Charlie Shavers on trumpet, Buddy DeFranco on clarinet and the vastly underrated Alvin Stoller on drums.
Tommy's immediate post-war (1946) band with Stoller and Shavers, IMO, was Tommy's best where straight jazz was concerned. Shavers gave 'em a nice kick while Stoller's drums gave the band incredible bottom.
Great cut - thanks for posting!!!

Of course you could. Listen to the recording (not the videos) of Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman, especially Goodman trio and quartet.

high trumpet ?
More like ear shattering noise. That horn really didn't belong there. It was just an excuse to blow sound effects to no good use.

There was a version of this recorded in 1944 (I think). It has violins and Buddy Rich on the drums. It's my favorite Big Band Era song.

Take it from me--you get started on big band music when you're young and you'll always love it! It's addictive--it just works its way into your soul! I love it as much now as I did when I was being brought up on it nearly 60 years ago.

Hey Darth,
I think I listened to your band play "Fly Me to the Moon" in a NSHS Jazz Ensemble video. Right? Anyway, I remember your name. Hello!
My trombone instructor once told me Tommy Dorsey was also VERY good at legato. If you're a trombonist, you know that is very hard to master. It's great they have these videos saved from the 30's and 40's. Tommy had a brother Jimmy who was a saxophonist. Seems they were constantly feuding over who should be the leader, so they formed their own bands!

Yes! Actually, I learned to love Big-Band Music in middle age. I grew up with 1950s-1960s rock 'n roll ... and love it, but ... Big-Band Music is FABULOUS! You must have loved being young in this era. Great, great memories. Peace.
