The Victor Recording Orchestra was a jazz band led by Jean Goldkette. It was known for its innovative arrangements and strong rhythm.
Among its members were:
Bix Beiderbecke[1]
Steve Brown
Hoagy Carmichael
Jimmy Dorsey
Tommy Dorsey
Eddie Lang
Don Murray[1]
Howdy Quicksell[1]
Pee Wee Russell
Frankie Trumbauer
Joe Venuti
Bill Rank
Among the band's own arrangers was Russ Morgan; the band also traded arrangements with Fletcher Henderson. The band's most popular records included "After I Say I'm Sorry," "Dinah," "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?" and "Lonesome and Sorry." According to Rex Stewart, the primitive recording techniques of the day (for example, bass and snare drums could not be recorded) failed to provide a true record of the band.

Banjoist Howdy Quicksell missed the early train from Detroit and arrived on a later train. In early 1925, Tommy Dorsey and Paul Mertz were members of Jean Goldkette's Book Cadillac orchestra, Don Murray and Howdy Quicksell were with Jean Goldkette's prestigious Victor Recording Orchestra, and Tommy Gargano was a free-lancer in Detroit at that time. He was bom in Philadelphia in 1901 into a musical family and was with the Goldkette's Orange Blossoms in late 1925 and early 1926. Let's go back a few months. In the Fall of 1924 Bix was playing with the Wolverines at the Cinderella Ballroom in New York when he was approached by Charlie Horvath, Jean Goldkette's business manager, with an offer to join the Victor Recording Orchestra. Bix accepted and moved to Detroit in mid-October 1924.
