Maybe an interesting note: through most of Dorsey's clarinet solo (mostly in the throat-tones) he has a very wide (markedly flat and slow) vibrado (characteristic of many players at that time). However, as he increases in range towards the end of the tune he looses his vibrado almost all together--it is not consistent. This is how I know his clarinet sound later; mid 1940's + , very shallow clarinet vibrado, almost imperceptible. Of course, as swing evolved vibrados became less wide.
What a sweet tone Jimmy gave the world. I think Tommy and Jimmy's band of the early '50's was as fine as Miller's Army Air Force band of the mid '40's. Can you imagine the music had they all gotten back together after the war? Miller was the Dorsey Brothers' best arranger in the mid 30's.
Great melody and as I always say - what can we expect from the Dorseys? The best. And that's what we hear - they don't make em like this anymore. Thanks for posting this great talent.
