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
Steve Brown
Hoagy Carmichael
Jimmy Dorsey
Tommy Dorsey
Eddie Lang
Don Murray
Howdy Quicksell
Pee Wee Russell
Frankie Trumbauer

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.
