		From time to time, during the late 1920s and early 1930s, the brothers put together, for certain jobs, their own Dorsey Brothers Orchestra and the success of this eventually prompted their first regular band since the days of the "Wild Canaries". This was in the spring of 1934 and the band was an immediate success.
