Jimmy Dorsey's Geatest Hits - Curb D2-77411

J. K. Condon | New Port Richey, FL USA | 05/01/2003

"This album is something of a misnomer, because while Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra does play on every cut, almost every cut really highlights the vocalists, who unfortunately are not credited on the liner notes! They are probably Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell, who sang many duets with Jimmy Dorsey's orchestra, but if you are looking for an album that shows Jimmy's expertise on the clarinet and tenor sax to advantage, look elsewhere. On the other hand if you would like an album of duets by a great pair of singers of the 40's and 50's, this may be exactly what you are looking for. I am disappointed with the liner notes, or rather I should say the absence of them, since they don't credit the individual personnel on any of the cuts. I am sure that information was available right on the record label to whomever copied these old 78's, and I wish that they had passed it along."

"I was disappointed in the quality of the recording. The needle noise in

the recording was more prevalent than on a c.d. that I had burned from an old vinyl record."
