[edit] Juan Trippe fact
Was going to put this in the text, but instead decided per the Wiki "Cite Sources" guidance to cut it and put this here.
Pan American World Airways's president Juan Trippe was a member of his band in 1940. ??? Can any Dorsey or Trippe expert verify this? It seems to be a mixing of a Frank Sinatra date (joining Dorsey) that appears in a sidebar on a Juan Trippe page [1] ... please fix or remove this comment, note this factoid does NOT appear on the Juan Trippe page ... ???
Will email AnonionMartin who I think added it to see if he has a better cite for this factoid.
Just noticed that the equivalent factoid had been removed months ago on the Juan Trippe page...

[edit] High C#
It's not that hard for a seasoned player to pull off.
- I'm not clear about to which C# the article refers. Keeping in mind that C4 is "middle C," is this "High C#" C#5 (not impressive, but the trombonists in Tommy's day rarely played above G4) or C#6 (which is impressive)? The article should note if it is C#5 or C#6. The article should also note that Tommy made playing above G4 a requirement for a serious trombonist. Previous to Tommy, trombone music was almost never written above G4. Now, one sees frequent C5's, a professional trombonist is expected to play an F5 with good tone quality, and virtuosos exceed Bb5, equivalent to a trumpet's "Triple C." These points should be researched and cited in the article. Weyandt 20:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New material
The new book out last year on Dorsey provides some good factual matrerial to update this page. I believe that he had more than one wife, contrary to what is in the text. Talk to Dr. M 20:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spouses
Herb Sanford's biography, The Dorsey Years, states that his first wife was named Mildred but always was called "Toots". In 1943 he married B-movie actress Patricia Dane and divorced her in early 1947. So Jane New Dorsey was correctly identified as his third wife.
[edit] Vandalism
Someone posted the lyrics to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," on the main page. I guess that someone has nothing better to do with their free time. I decided to correct the problem by restoring the most recent edition of T.D.'s page. USRoute66 17:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tommy Dorsey album stoplook and listen.jpg
Image:Tommy Dorsey album stoplook and listen.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Use of Image:Tommy Dorsey 1.jpg
Unfortunately, non-free publicity images cannot be used for artist identification purposes within infoboxes if a free image already exists which can fulfill this purpose. See WP:NFC#Policy_2 Item 1, No free equivalent. D7240 (talk) 19:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
