The 15-piece band (plus vocalists) will be playing the original arrangements that made the Dorsey Orchestra one of the most popular of the swing era. Heard will be such tunes as "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," "Marie," "Opus No. 1," and "Yes, Indeed." The band's repertoire embraces not only the classics of the original Dorsey Orchestra, but also the spectrum of popular music from Dixieland, rhythm and blues and intricate ballads to progressive jazz and contemporary tunes. Its library also has a nostalgic representation of those familiar tunes of the 40's so irreplaceable to the many who loved and still remember Big Bands. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra led by Buddy Morrow represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its best!
