Imperial Dance Orchestra

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 (2), Oriole (3), 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 (4), Pathé Actuelle, Perfect (3) 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:
