Audio Park社の復刻物は音が良いと評判です。もちろんSPからの採録にしてはという注釈付きですが、音量をそこそこ上げて聞くと実に細部まで良く録られています。内容はTommy Dorsey楽団の１９３５－４５年の名演集という事になるのですが、Discographyを見ていると、結構頻繁にメンバーが入れ替わっているのが窺えます。

1935年のI'm Gettingはこの楽団のテーマ曲でしたが、兄のJimmyの楽団と分れるた下後で、Noni BernardiとGene Traxler以外は見かけない名前ばかりです。

1937年になると、後年の有名スタジオ奏者の名前が散見されます。しかし、注目はBunny Beriganです。Song of Indiaのソロは後年トランペットアンサンブルになってコピーされました。

Connie Hainesが歌うWill You Still Be Mineは出色の出来です。Connie Hainesの録音は少なく、貴重なものと思います。

19,20は、同じ日の録音ですが、19はDorsey楽団にピアニストDuke Ellingtonが、20はEllington楽団にトロンボーン奏者Tommy Dorseyが客演した録音です。Ellington楽団のbassが何故かBob Haggartなのかは知る由もありません。珍しい録音です。
