'COMM::eng' ('Their name often linked with leader Glen Gray, the Casa Loma Orchestra was ' "the first ''swing'' band. As early as 1929 they began playing the same " 'mixture of hot jazz and sweet ballads that Benny Goodman would later ' 'popularize and that would dominate the music industry in the late 1930s and ' 'early 1940s.\r\n' 'Originally named the Orange Blossoms, the group first formed in Detroit ' "during the mid-1920s as an offshoot of Jean Goldkette's orchestra. Gray, " 'then known as Spike Knoblaugh, joined the group in the winter of 1925-26 as ' 'a sax player. Henry Biagini was leader. Playing in and around the Detroit ' 'area the Orange Blossoms were booked into a brand new Toronto club called ' 'the Casa Loma in 1927. Built in preparation for a visit by the Prince of ' 'Wales the club never opened, and in 1929 the Orange Blossoms, shedding ' "Goldkette's mantel and striking out on their own, decided to rename " 'themselves the Casa Loma Orchestra in memorial.\r\n' 'The bandmembers formed a cooperative, dismissing Biagini and electing Gray ' 'as president and leader. Mel Jenssen became front man. They moved to New ' 'York and were soon booked into the Roseland Ballroom, where a representative ' "from Okeh Records discovered them and offered a deal. Gene Gifford's " "imaginative arrangements set the band's style. Alternating between big band " 'jazz and sentimental ballads the group sounded better on the latter than it ' 'did on the former. Never in its history did it really have a great lineup, ' 'and often times it sounded flat when attempting jazz. Nevertheless, the Casa ' 'Loma Orchestra had a unique sound and quickly began to attract the attention ' 'of the hipper college crowd.\r\n' 'After cutting six sides for Okeh the group signed with Brunswick. They were ' 'so popular however that Victor also signed them, and the group ended up ' 'recording on both labels simultaneously. Eventually they began to record ' 'exclusively for Brunswick and remained there until signing with Decca in ' '1943. Kenny Sargent, who also played sax, was vocalist. On their first sides ' "for Okeh and Brunswick, they were billed as simply the ''Casa Loma " "Orchestra.'' Victor however billed them as the ''Glen Gray Orchestra.'' " "After leaving Victor they began using the combined moniker ''Glen Gray and " "the Casa Loma Orchestra.''\r\n" 'In 1933 and 1934 the group was featured on the Camel Caravan radio program, ' 'becoming the first swing band to appear on a commercial radio series. They ' 'played both summers at the Glen Island Casino, where frequent radio ' 'broadcasts helped boost their popularity across the country. By 1935, ' 'however, the swing era had begun, and the orchestra was no longer a trend ' 'setter. Gifford, whose alcoholism made him unreliable, was fired and ' 'replaced by Dorsey Brothers arranger Larry Clinton, who did his best at the ' 'difficult job of writing book for the band. Despite these setbacks they ' "continued to remain popular, inaugurating the Paramount Theater's stage band " 'policy and settling in to a booking at the swank Rainbow Room.\r\n' 'In 1937 Gray decided to front the group himself and dismissed Jenssen. ' 'Clinton left for Tommy Dorsey and was replaced by Dorsey arranger Dick ' 'Jones. Arranger Larry Wagner joined the following year. By 1940, however, ' 'the Casa Loma Orchestra had begun to lose its popularity. Major personnel ' 'changes followed. Tutti Camarata and Harry Rodgers now arranged. The LeBrun ' 'Sisters sang. Sargent left in 1943 and was replaced by female vocalist ' 'Eugenie Baird. Red Nichols also appeared with the band for a short time.\r\n' "By 1945 the group's popularity had tanked, and they called it quits. In the " 'mid-1950s Gray recorded a series of big band nostalgia albums for Capitol ' 'with a studio orchestra. The project was a huge success and Gray was offered ' 'his own band, but he declined and remained in retirement. He died from ' 'cancer in 1963.\r\n' '\r\n') 'COMM:ID3v1 Comment:XXX' 'Their name often linked with' 'TALB' (Album/Movie/Show title) '1920s and 1930s popular' 'TBPM' (BPM (beats per minute)) '84.140' 'TCON' (Content type, a.k.a.
