Biography

Imperial Dance Orchestra
Effective period / Period of releases: 1925 - 1930
This was a widely used pseudonym, indiscriminately used by many dance orchestras, for countless releases on the Plaza Music Company and American Record Corporation labels (e.g. Banner, Domino, Oriole, and related labels). To a lesser extent, it was also used on Plaza Music Company and Emerson Phonograph Company Inc. masters that were pressed on Bell, Pathé Actuelle, Perfect and other labels in the 1920s-1930s. Many issues are believed to have been by the Pathé Phonograph & Radio Corp. house orchestra under the direction of Domenico Savino (a.k.a. D. Onivas), or Plaza Music Company / American Record Corporation house orchestras under the direction of Adrian Schubert. In addition, a number of other artists used this pseudonym, and an attempt is being made to identify these on individual release pages in the database. These artists include:1 - Al Lynch And His Orchestra
