| Buddy Morrow called Walt to "fill in" with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra" in 1986. In January of 1988 "The Road" beckoned and Walt joined the TDO full time. A great combination was born. Walt's smooth phrasing on ballads and swinging style paired with Buddy's incredible trombone inspired comparisons to Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey at their best.During Andrus' tenure with the Dorsey organization, Walt was also entrusted to LEAD the Orchestra during Buddy's absentses to GREAT reviews. Maintaining the Dorsey tradicion of excellence and adding his own personal flair. |
