Review by Oliver Höfinghoff

The Sentimental Gentleman Of Swing: A Big Band Masterpiece That Still Swings Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra’s The Sentimental Gentleman Of Swing isn’t just another jazz album—it’s a love letter to the big band era. Released in 1996 via Music Memoria (France), this collection feels like stepping into a smoky ballroom where time stands still. It’s got all the swagger of classic swing but with Tommy’s signature smoothness that makes you wanna grab a partner—or at least tap your feet uncontrollably. Let’s talk tracks, shall we? First up is “Star Dust,” one of those timeless tunes that never gets old. You know how some songs just hit different? This one does exactly that. The orchestration here is lush without being overdone, letting each instrument breathe while Tommy’s trombone glides through like butter on warm toast. It’s dreamy enough to make you forget whatever playlist you were listening to before this. Honestly, if I could live inside a song for a day, “Star Dust” would be it. Then there’s “I’m Getting Sentimental Over You,” which might as well be the theme song for anyone who’s ever had nostalgia punch them right in the gut. The melody wraps around you like an old sweater, cozy yet bittersweet. There’s something about the way the brass swells and then pulls back—it’s like they’re teasing out emotions you didn’t even know you had. And yeah, maybe it’s cheesy to admit, but this track always reminds me of late-night drives under city lights when everything feels both infinite and fleeting. What sticks with me most about this album is how alive it sounds, even decades after its original heyday. Tracks like “Boogie Woogie” and “Royal Garden Blues” have energy levels so high you’d think the band was playing right in front of you. Meanwhile, slower numbers like “Indian Summer” bring a kind of calm that’s rare these days. It’s not perfect—some transitions feel a bit abrupt, and a couple of repeats (“Lonesome Road,” anyone?) can get redundant—but honestly, that adds to its charm. Imperfections give it soul. Here’s the kicker though: listening to The Sentimental Gentleman Of Swing feels less like revisiting history and more like discovering something new. Like finding a dusty record in your grandparents’ attic only to realize it’s gold. So go ahead, crank up the volume—you won’t regret it. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself humming “Well, Git It!” for days.
