Review by Denis Sugrue

Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra's self-titled album is a classic representation of the big band sound that dominated the music scene in the 1930s and 1940s. The album features a mix of instrumental tracks and vocal performances, showcasing the band's versatility and skill.

The album opens with the energetic and upbeat "Opus One," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Tommy Dorsey's trombone playing is a standout feature throughout the album, and his signature sound is on full display in tracks like "Marie" and "Song of India."

The vocal performances on the album are equally impressive, with Frank Sinatra lending his smooth vocals to tracks like "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Polka Dots and Moonbeams." The album also features vocal performances by Jo Stafford, who showcases her range and versatility in tracks like "Embraceable You" and "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You."
