"The New Moon" was the work of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II and composer of operettas Sigmund Romberg. Out of this tuneful 1928 opus comes "Lover Come Back to Me" which serves as a showcase for the sensuous trombone of Tommy Dorsey with a steamy background by the full orchestra (this comes from the time that Dorsey sported an additional string section which set off the ballads perfectly).
