Tommy Dorsey (19 November 1905 – 26 November 1956) was an important jazz trombonist and big band leader.

“The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing”
Was Dorsey’s sobriquet.
As assonance it has a pleasant ring,
And marketers would say
As long as his recordings sell (ka-ching!)
We’ll brand him in this way.
