Tommy Dorsey: Swing High!

on BBC Radio 2

3/6. Russell Davies continues a tribute to the supremely popular but temperamentally difficult trombonist and band leader
Tommy Dorsey , who died in 1956, aged 51, following a swing-era career boasting over 180 charted singles, including 17 US number ones. Defining recordings include Song of India, Marie, BoogieWoogie, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Opus One and, with Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers, I'll Never Smile Again and There Are Such Things.
