A UNIQUE AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF JIMMY DORSEY'S FIRST EVER SOLO RECORDING ISSUED ON A PARLOPHONE 78 !!
BEEBE
by Ted Gottsegen
The older of the two Dorsey brothers was a child prodigy who began his musical career at the age seven playing the slide trumpet and cornet with his father's brass band at local parties. His father was a working class man who wanted a better life for his children and made them study music, diligently. By the time he was 17, Jimmy was playing with the Jean Goldkette band with Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer.
During the 1920's the Goldkette Orchestra had broken up, and Jimmy, along with Bix and Trumbauer joined Paul Whiteman's group. Jimmy left Whiteman's group and freelanced around playing with Red Nichols. In 1933 Jimmy and younger brother Tommy formed their famous Dorsey Brothers Orchestra which included drummer Ray McKinley, trombonist Glenn Miller and singer Bob Crosby.
This unique Autographed disc comes from the 78s collection of clarinetist Laurence Goldrei who was born in 1913 and had a love of Jazz from a very Young Age. He was responsible for introducing Jazz to Leoanard Feather who was a school friend and he started buying Jazz records in 1928 at the age of just 15. In July 1930, Jimmy Dorsey came on tour to the UK and also made some records with Spike Hughes and his three blind Mice. It was during this visit that Laurence got Jimmy to Autograph this record! Sadly, recently Laurence passed away aged 98, outliving his school pal Leonard by 18 years.
