Tommy Dorsey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (954 words) |
 | Trombonist and band leader Tommy Dorsey should not be confused with pianist and jazz and gospel composer Thomas A. Dorsey. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
