| | Casa Loma Orchestra |
 | | Originally known as the Orange Blossoms, the band had adopted the Casa Loma name by the time of its first recordings in 1929, when it was the house band at Casa Loma in Toronto, which was then operating as a hotel. | | | Its hits included "Casa Loma Stomp," "No Name Jive," "Maniac's Ball," and the band's theme, "Smoke Rings." Part of the reason for the band's decline in popularity after 1935 is that other big bands included in their books hard-swinging numbers which emulated the hot Casa Loma style. | | | From 1929 until the rapid multiplication in the number of swing bands from 1935 on, the Casa Loma Orchestra was one of the top North American dance bands, featuring trombonist Pee Wee Hunt, trumpeter Sonny Dunham, clarinetist Clarence Hutchenrider, drummer Tony Briglia, and singer Kenny Sargent. |

| | Dismuke's Hit Of The Week |
| | The recording of "Casa Loma Stomp" is a 1937 Decca Records remake of the band's 1930 hit on the Okeh label. | | | In terms of staying power, the Casa Loma Orchestra was one of the more successful bands of the dance band era. | | | In 1930, the band recorded its first hit, "Casa Loma Stomp." This led to a higher profile recording contract with the Brunswick label. |

| | The Casa Loma was still exciting, but they were playing music in much the tone of the early 30's, while the "new" "big bands" were playing the newer "swing" style of music. | | | While at the Roseland, the band began recording for Okeh Records. | | | An interesting footnote to the band's history was the fact that the Casa Loma orchestra was the very first orchestra to inaugurate the Paramount Theatre's, new policy of placing the band on stage as part of the show. |

| | Big Band Era Jazz History |
| | The hot jazz orchestras of the day soon found the necessity of using an "arranger" for their pieces of music. | | | The big band sounds of The Dorsey Brothers, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway, The Casa Loma Orchestra, and Duke Ellington's orchestra as well as the styling in jazz vocals of The Mills Brothers and The Boswell Sisters were all moving toward an "arranged" and easy flowing style of jazz which would become known as swing. | | | Although improvisation in solos was still allowed, the arranger took a written piece of music and assigned various parts to the different sections in a band and also dictated when solos were to be taken. |

| | After Benny Goodman 's success in 1935 resulted in many new big bands being formed, the Casa Loma Orchestra was never again a pacesetter, but it continued into the 1940s with such players as Red Nichols, Bobby Hackett, and Herb Ellis. | | | They made their recording debut in 1929, and during the next six years would be one of the top swing-oriented big bands in jazz (even though the term "swing" would not come into general usage until 1935). | | | But the band's early original recordings of tunes such as "San Sue Strut," "Case Loma Stomp," "No Name Jive," and "Smoke Rings" are well worth acquiring. |

| | Wurlitzer Pops at Casa Loma |
| | With three keyboards and 15 sets of pipes, along with a piano, xylophone, celesta, tuned sleighbells, and full complement of percussion instruments and sound effects, it was used to accompany silent films and vaudeville, and later to play elaborate intermission solos and broadcast weekly on the radio. | | | It can imitate a marching band one minute, and a symphony orchestra the next; it can swing like a dance band, groove like a small jazz combo, and meditate like its churchly older sister. | | | Several times each year since then, a host of local and international musicians have entertained Toronto audiences with its magnificent sounds. |

| | Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra Swinging Sounds of the Great Bands |
| | More than 40 years ago, Capitol Records issued the first of nine albums by Glen Gray’s Casa Loma Orchestra saluting the greatest ensembles of the Big Band era (including his own). | | | The twenty selections on Swinging Sounds were collected from those volumes and reissued on CD by one of Gray’s ardent boosters, Tom Daly, who was introduced to the orchestra those many years ago by his late father, John F. Daly. | | | At the time these recordings were made, Gray had been leading a band for many years and was in a position to employ some of the most accomplished sidemen on the West Coast. |

| | Among the many highlights are early versions of "Smoke Rings" (the band's theme) and "Casa Loma Stomp," an Ethel Waters vocal on "Heat Wave," and heated versions of quite a few songs from the 1920s. | | | The arrangements of Gene Gifford (the majority of these 25 selections are Gifford's charts) were largely responsible for the Casa Loma Orchestra having its own musical personality. | | | On four CDs, the Hep label has released the great majority of the most rewarding recordings by the Casa Loma Orchestra, skipping over the more commercial vocals of Kenny Sargent. |

| | Big Band Music Biography - Glen Gray |
| | Although they played in a rather stiff and precise style, The Casa Loma Orchestra helped spread the concept of big band jazz to a generation of young white kids who were, at that time, still largely unaware of the great black jazz orchestras. | | | It is said to have been the first white big band with a deliberate Jazz policy. | | | This piece details the Count Basie vs. Chick Webb big band music Battle Of Swing held at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom in January of 1938. |

| | [TPIN] Casa Loma recording of "Smoke Rings" |
| | If you have ever listened to some of the things that they have made, you'll know that was the most together band ever." High praise indeed. | | | Anyone who has never listened to this band, properly called "Glen Gray and The Casa Loma Orchestra", should rectify that situation. | | | After I discovered the Casa Loma band, I learned that this same person played tenor and occasionally bari sax in the Casa Loma band all through the 1930's, but his main purpose was as a vocalist - one of THE original "crooners". |
