Free Music Notes for Best of Big Bands
Free Music Review: Dr. Heckle And Mr. Jibe
Hit: 4 Stars
This compilation spans the latter half of the Dorsey Brothers' Orchestra, from 1932 to 1934. It was formed in 1928 as a recording outfit, and remained that way until 1934 when it began playing in public, lasting a further year in the process. The brothers' different temperaments have been well-documented, but harmony prevails throughout this compilation. In that they were aided by such sidemen as Bunny Berigan, Manny Klein, Frank Guarante, Charlie Margulis, and Glenn Miller, depending on their availability. The rhythm section remained constant throughout, namely Dick McDonough, Artie Bernstein and Stan King.
Tracks include the Bill Challis arrangement of "The Blue Room" (more recently re-recorded by Vince Giordano for "The Goldkette Project") , Mildred Bailey's vocal on "But I Can't Make A Man", Johnny Mercer doing the honours on "Dr. Heckle And Mr. Jibe", and Glenn Miller taking the second trombone solo on "Annie's Cousin Fanny". There's an excellent set of notes by Richard M. Sudhalter, and the only reason I haven't given the full star mark is because it's limited to 16 tracks (as compared with 25 on Living Era's CD).
