if anyone wants to hear what a great sax/clarinet player and virtuoso Jimmy Dorsey really was check out 'Fingerbustin' on youtube i promise you will be very impressed
Maybe an interesting note: through most of Dorsey's clarinet solo (mostly in the throat-tones) he has a very wide (markedly flat and slow) vibrado (characteristic of many players at that time). However, as he increases in range towards the end of the tune he looses his vibrado almost all together--it is not consistent. This is how I know his clarinet sound later; mid 1940's + , very shallow clarinet vibrado, almost imperceptible. Of course, as swing evolved vibrados became less wide.
Vibrato. By the way, as was common at the time, Jimmy played the Öhler clarinet (simple system with added bells and whistles to correct the intonation) and not the Boehm system that is pretty much universal today. Other famous players who used the Öhler model were Barney Bigard, Ed Hall and Gene Sedric (in the Fats Waller group).

God, those gutsy voicings at 0:47 behind Dorsey, these are so good!
Whatever the ins and outs, this is brilliant real music. Thank you.
I am glad to share the impression of this great tune!
This was a studio recording made on March 29, 1938, what you are watching is a montage of movies and soundies.
Beautiful time machine 🌇
Just what I guessed.
Too bad I can only "like" this once.
WOW !!! This IS good !!
Thank you for sharing.
Well put tgether. I enjoyed it.
Great.
This also appears on "We got rhythm", a Hallmark compilation album (ref. 300423) that has other great stuff on it.
this is very nice!

this video is definitely for another song
The video appears to belong with a different song; but, nice music!
It's from a Decca album of 12 inch records called Five Feet of Swing with various swing bands.
A 12" Decca recording!

It’s funny that Jimmy toned down his vibrato in later years whereas Tommy never did.

The kids are jitterbugging, and good. Not Lindyhopping.
Somebody gotta make a beat to this
Terribly bad picture quality! Doesn´t seem that sound and pictures was in sync either. I think that the audio was from a record, not a film.
