Tommy Dorsey (November 19, 1905 – November 26, 1956) was a jazz trombonist and bandleader in the Big Band era.Thomas Francis Dorsey, Jr. was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and is the younger brother of Jimmy Dorsey. The brothers worked in several bands (including those of Rudy Vallee, Vincent Lopez, and especially Paul Whiteman's) before forming the original Dorsey Brothers Orchestra; ongoing acrimony between the brothers led to Tommy Dorsey's walking out to form his own band in 1935---just as the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra was having a hit with "Every Little Movment."Tommy Dorsey's first band formed out of the remnant of the Joe Haymes band, and his smooth, lyrical trombone style---whether on ballads or on no-holds-barred swingers---became one of the signature sounds of both his band and the Swing Era. The new band hit from almost the moment it signed with RCA Victor with "On Treasure Island," the first of four hits for the new band that year. That led to a run of 137 Billboard chart hits, including his theme song, I'm Getting Sentimental Over You (which showcases his phenomenal range and masterful mute use, reaching up to the high C #), "Marie, "The Big Apple," "Music, Maestro, Please," "I'll Never Smile Again," "This Love of Mine," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "T.D.'s Boogie Woogie," "Well, Git 'It," "Opus One," "Manhattan Serenade," and "There Are Such Things"---among many others.The band featured a number of the best instrumentalists in jazz at the time, including trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Charlie Shavers, trumpeter/arranger/composer Sy Oliver (who wrote "Well, Git 'It" and "Opus One"), drummer Buddy Rich, and singers Jo Stafford, Dick Haymes and Frank Sinatra. Sinatra achieved his first great success as a vocalist in the Dorsey band and claimed he learned breath control from watching Dorsey play trombone. Dorsey said his trombone style was heavily influenced by that of Jack Teagarden. Another member of the Dorsey band probably spent considerable time observing and listening to Sy Oliver's striking arrangements: trombonist Nelson Riddle, whose later partnership as Sinatra's major arranger and conductor is considered to have revolutionised post-World War II popular music.Dorsey might have broken up his own band permanently following World War II, as many big bands did thanks to the shift in music economics following the war, and he did disband the orchestra at the end of 1946. But a top-ten selling album (All-Time Hits) made it possible for Dorsey to re-organise a big band in early 1947. Dorsey married Jane New (1924??- August 24, 2003) in 1948 and she remained his wife until his death. She had been a dancer at the world-renowned Copacabana.Five years later, the Dorsey brothers themselves reconciled---Jimmy Dorsey had had to break up his own highly successful big band in 1953, and brother Tommy invited him to join up as a feature attraction---but before long Tommy renamed the band the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra. The brothers took the unit on tour and onto their own television show, Stage Show, from 1954-1956---on which they introduced Elvis Presley to national television audiences, among others
