When
About
The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra comes to the Numerica Performing Arts Center for a night of big-band swing. Dorsey — "the Sentimental Gentleman of Swing" — led one of the defining orchestras of the big band era, the band that launched Frank Sinatra and put standards like "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" and "Opus One" into the American songbook. The orchestra has toured continuously since, carrying that book forward with a full complement of horns and rhythm. If you grew up on this music, it's a chance to hear it played live the way it was written; if you didn't, it's a good introduction to why it mattered.
