New York, NY (October 23, 2017) - The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center continues to host innovative sounds and stories, set against the unparalleled backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Saxophone and clarinet virtuosos Peter and Will Anderson will share the story of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, also known as The Fabulous Dorsey Brothers, December 1-2, 7pm and 9:30pm each night. Of the Anderson twins’ off-Broadway Dorsey Brothers revue in 2012, the Wall Street Journal raved that they “establish [the Dorseys] as gargantuan heroes of a long-departed, almost mythical era, when the ability to play an instrument better than anyone else could make you king of the whole world.”
