RCA Victor 447-0117 (original as a 45 rpm single) USA, 1955
Music by: Side A – Harry Barris, James Cavanaugh; Side B – Ned Washington, George Bassman
Musicians: Tommy Dorsey (trombone), Side A - others unknown; Side B - Andy Ferretti, Sterling Bose, Bill Graham, Cliff Weston (trumpets), Ben Pickering, Dave Jacobs (trombones), Sid Stoneburn (clarinet), Noni Bernardi (alto sax), Clyde Rounds (alto sax), Johnny van Eps (tenor sax), Paul Mitchell (piano), Mac Cheikes (guitar), Gene Traxler (bass), Sam Rosen (drums)
Recording sessions: Side A - New York (?), NY, Oct. 1928 (?); Side B - New York, NY, Oct. 18, 1935
Highest chart positions: none, but the original 78 rpm of the flip-side went to US #8 in 1936.
For many other jazz musicians it's fairly easy to find comprehensive session details of their recordings, but apparently not for Tommy Dorsey. This was a tough one to crack - and I was able to find the pieces for the flip only.
RCA reissued many of Dorsey's hits of the 30's and the 40's in 1955 and 1956.
List price: Very Good+ is $5, Near Mint is $10
