Relive songs such as “Boogie Woogie,” “The Dipsy Doodle,” “In the Blues of the Evening,” “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You” and more, live on stage at GLAZER HALL. Tommy Dorsey, “The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing,” was unsurpassed as a bandleader during the Swing Era of American popular music. From 1935 to 1956, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra was celebrated as the greatest dance band of its time—swinging with the best, yet unmatched when it came to setting the mood with a romantic ballad.
Now, that unmistakable sound returns to captivate a new generation. The One and Only Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, the band that launched Frank Sinatra’s rise to stardom, is bringing its legendary legacy to life at GLAZER HALL.
When Sinatra joined the Orchestra in 1940, he credited Dorsey with teaching him the breath control that defined his signature style and helped shape timeless hits like “There Are Such Things,” “This Love of Mine,” and “I’ll Never Smile Again.”
Under the direction of acclaimed trombonist Jeff Bush—personally chosen by former bandleader Buddy Morrow—today’s Tommy Dorsey Orchestra carries that golden era forward with the same elegance, swing, and style that made it famous. With unforgettable classics like “Opus One,” “Marie,” and “Song of India,” this performance promises an evening of musical brilliance, history, and nostalgia—an extraordinary celebration of the swing era at its finest.
Experience the sound that defined an age. Join us for a night where the spirit of big band jazz lives on—only at GLAZER HALL.
