Music from the ZB's
HE Dorsey Brothers, Jimmy and Tommy, were born in Shenandoah, U.S.A.-Jimmy in 1904 and Tommy in 1906. Jimmy studied the trumpet and appeared with his father’s band before he was 10, taking up the saxophone and clarinet on the side. Tommy plumped for the trumpet and trombone. Both of them, before they were out of their *teens, had organised their own band for local functions and dances. Then Tom left. his brother and went to Detroit to play with the California Ramblers and Ray Miller. In 1924 the brothers came together again and formed their own combination. They separated once more when Jimmy joined Joe Venuti. In the latter part of 1925 Jimmy joined Paul Whiteman and two years later he went to Europe and played with Ted Lewis. Again the brothers joined forces. Now each has his own band in America.
