Jimmy

O.K. Jimmy Dorsey is my favorite, and when other people say that he is out of tune or "sour" they are only listening to his later stuff, like in the fifties and that is only minorly "sour". In 1957 Jimmy's rocording of "So Rare" was at #2 on the charts and sold a million copies(his 4th million seller, "Amapola", "Green Eyes", and "Mria Elena" all from 1941) , Jimmy was presented with his only Gold Recored, 4 days beore he died. This is my fav. song. Anyway, on that recored he was doing some pretty cool growaling lto and was little sour an the end. so listen for yourself go to this page and listen to "So Rare". Also check out the other songs i listed. even though they are pop tunes the are good. http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000000CYG/ref=s9...;pf_rd_i=507846

Hello out there! I am a newbie mmilovan invited me from allaboutjazz.com because i started the jimmy dorsey topic there. Every time Jimmy would come on the radio, Bird would stop every thing he was doing and sit with his eyes closed and listen to Jimmy's light sound and triplets. I think that that Jimmy indirectly invented bebop via Bird. tell me what you think.
