I apologise for the quality of these two recordings, the surface noise is simply due to much punishment by steel needles, on various acoustic gramophones in their early days -and before I rescued them.
Originally formed by Jean Goldkette as "The Orange Blossoms", they became the 'house' band at the Casa Loma hotel in 1927. Re-formed by Glen Gray in 1928, they took their new name from the hotel.
These two records show the interpretations of their arranger/guitarist (Gifford) of the Jazz sounds of the day.
