Charles Dornberger & His Orchestra – One Sweet Letter From You (Brown /Clare /Warren), HMV 1927 NOTE: The career of Charles DORNBERGER included early participation in Paul Whiteman’s band. The two had met during service in the US Navy in 1918; Dornberger was a pilot and Whiteman was training musicians for various service bands. Descending from hard-working German stock, Dornberger was a skilled musician who could get around fairly well on many of the instruments in the orchestra. He picked up these abilities on his own and did it well enough to work with Whiteman. By the mid-20s Dornberger had stepped out of the reed section to start up his own band, leading to a contract with Victor as well as the creation of a series of musical shorts for Warner Brothers. Dornbergers final recording sessions have taken place in 1929, but he continued leading bands for at least another decade, sometimes fronting as many as 35 musicians. A series of skilled players and arrangers emerged from his organization — such as Frank Ventre. Dornberger retired early from the music business, opening a bar in Santa Ana, California, known as the Circus Tent, perhaps because the patrons were a bunch of clowns. Dornberger died in his plane crash, that also took the life of his girlfriend.
