Henry Jerome And His Orchestra - Illya Darling
Review by Wedding Vings
Illya Darling, the album by Henry Jerome and his orchestra, is a delightful collection of Greek folk songs with a contemporary twist. The arrangements are lively and energetic, with a mix of traditional instruments like the bouzouki and modern instruments like the saxophone and trumpet. The vocals, provided by a chorus of male and female singers, are full of passion and emotion, bringing the songs to life.
One of the highlights of the album is the title track, "Illya Darling," which was originally written for the Broadway musical of the same name. The song's infectious melody and catchy chorus make it an instant classic. Another standout is "Zorba's Dance," a lively instrumental that captures the spirit of Greek dance.

About Henry Jerome And His Orchestra
Jerome formed his dance band orchestra in 1932 in Norwich, Connecticut, USA. Comprising eight to ten musicians, with vocalists Frank Warren and David Allen, their greatest impact came through frequent radio exposure on the Dinner At The Green Room show on the ABC network.
This was broadcast remote from the Green Room of the Hotel Edison in New York City. Songs such as Homing Pigeon, I Love My Mama, Nice People, Night Is Gone, Until Six and Oh, How I Need You, Joe soon became staples of east coast airwaves. There were also a series of albums titled Brazen Brass, a title adapted from their popular Theme From Brazen Brass number. These songs were released on labels including Roulette, MGM Records, London Records, Coral Records and Decca Records, building a strong reputation for the orchestras Hal Kemp derived style.
As well as east coast dates the band took engagements at the Chase Hotel in St. Louis, the Claridge and Peabody in Memphis, and the Roosevelt in New Orleans. However, their main income was still derived from the Edison Hotel, where they were booked over several years.
Members included:
Jack Eagle, Manny Fox (tp) Johnny Mandel (b-tp) Bill Vitale, Alan Greenspan, Len Garment, Al Cohn (saxes) Gene di Novi or Shorty Allen (p) Tiny Kahn (d)n
