Come enjoy an evening of Big Band! In Big Band history, Tommy
Dorsey’s Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance
bands. It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could
come close to Tommy’s when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey,
“The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing,” was a master at creating
warm, sentimental, and always musical moods - at superb dancing and
listening tempos. Tommy sustained these moods through the arrangements
of Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl, and Sy Oliver, and showcased singers
who could project them brilliantly. The music world lost Tommy at an
early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The
Tommy Dorsey Orchestra repertoire continues to entertain audiences of
all ages throughout the world. Two shows: 4pm and 8pm. Sponsored by
