  • The Waldorf–Astoria Orchestra was an orchestra that played primarily at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, both the old and new locations. In addition to providing dinner music at the famous hotel, the orchestra made over 300 recordings and many radio broadcasts. It was established in the 1890s, and was directed by Carlo Curti in early 1900s, Joseph Knecht at least from 1908 to 1925, later by Jack Denny and others, and then Xavier Cugat from approximately 1933 to 1949. Denny and the Waldorf–Astoria Orchestra appeared in the movie Moonlight and Pretzels in 1933. Both Denny and Cugat had their own orchestras when they began playing at the Waldorf–Astoria, so the term "Waldorf–Astoria orchestras" might be an appropriate description. (en)
  • L'Orchestra Waldorf-Astoria è un'orchestra che ha suonato principalmente al Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, sia nell'edificio vecchio che nel nuovo. Oltre a fornire la musica durante le cene del famoso hotel, l'orchestra realizzò oltre 300 registrazioni e molte trasmissioni radiofoniche. Fu fondata nel 1890 e fu diretta da Carlo Curti agli inizi del novecento, Joseph Knecht almeno dal 1908 al 1925, poi da Jack Denny ed altri e successivamente da Xavier Cugat, a partire dal 1933 fino al 1949. Denny e la Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra sono apparse nel film Moonlight e Pretzels nel 1933. Sia Denny che Cugat avevano le loro orchestre quando iniziarono a suonare al Waldorf-Astoria, per cui il termine "orchestre Waldorf-Astoria" potrebbe essere una descrizione appropriata. (it)
