About The Record:

The Uncollected Vol. 2 by Jimmy Dorsey features live performances by Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra from the World War II era of 1942-1944, capturing the vibrant swing sound of the big band at its peak with previously unreleased material alongside select V-Disc recordings made for the Armed Forces Radio Service. The album highlights the orchestra's tight ensemble work and Dorsey's renowned alto saxophone and clarinet playing, including the band's signature opening theme Contrasts alongside energetic numbers such as Sowing Wild Notes, Lord And Lady Gate, Three Little Words, Someday Sweetheart, and I Got Rhythm. A unique aspect is its preservation of radio broadcasts and military morale-boosting tracks that offer an authentic glimpse into the band's wartime activities and the era's popular dance music. Fan favorites often include the swinging interpretations that showcase the interplay between sections and vocal elements typical of the period.
