Glen Gray & Casa Loma Orchestra plays "No Name Jive" on a V-disc.
Glen Gray, directing: Frank Ryerson, first trumpet; H. Grady Watts and Seymour “Sy” Baker, trumpets; Billy Rauch, first trombone; Walter “Pee Wee” Hunt, trombone; Murray McEachern, trombone and alto saxophone; Art Ralston, first alto saxophone; Danny D’Andrea, tenor saxophone; Clarence B. Hutchenrider, alto saxophone and clarinet; Pat Davis, tenor saxophone; Kenny Sargent, baritone saxophone; Joe Hall, piano; Jacques “Jack” Blanchette, guitar; Stanley “Denny” Dennis, bass; Tony Briglia, drums.
This was an unusual band of the swing era since the band was owned by the band members. The Casa Loma band was called “a co-operative.”
Other bands that used this ownership models were Bob Crosby’s ensemble and Woody Herman’s.
No one could get fired even if a performer's playing does not keep up with that of everyone else in the band.
The “hot” specialties were original tunes/arrangements by the band’s chief arranger and banjoist/guitarist, Gene Gifford.
Sound file was done by John Murphy.
