Review
In 1955, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra was doing well, as the swing-era survivors satisfied a dancing audience with nostalgic remakes of hits and some newer charts in the swing idiom. This set of very well recorded live performances (released for the first time on this 1995 CD) alternates jazz-oriented tracks (with concise but worthy contributions from trumpeter Charlie Shavers and drummer Louie Bellson), spots for both trombonist Tommy and altoist Jimmy, and some vocal cuts featuring Lynn Roberts, Bill Raymond and Bruce Snyder. Nothing surprising occurs, and the music sounds conservative (even for the period), but swing fans will find the performances to be enjoyable. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi| 1954: The Year That Rocked The World (Album by Various Artists) | |

1955 is the name of a 1998 hip hop music album by Soul-Junk. Musically, the album is the most centred between the low-fi and hip hop eras of Soul-Junk; as put by CCM Magazine "trip-hop meets folk meets retro rock."[1] As with many Soul-Junk albums, the Biblical references from which the lyrics are drawn are listed in the liner.[2] 1955 has a length of about two-and-a-half hours, which was cut from about six hours of material.[3]
