By 1926 he was leading the orchestra at the Queensland Ballroom on Wyckoff Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. It was at this period that he began recording a considerable amount of record sides for Edison with his Queensland Orchestra, recording over thirty sides from 1926 to 1929.〔Jazz Records, 1897-1942: Kar-Z; Storyville Publications, 1970, page 1238〕 On two of these recordings Migliaccio played solo piano. Edison was still recording the old fashioned mechanical way and a few of the recorded titles were rejected.〔''Edison Hot Dance Obscurities Volume 2''; Liner notes, Joe Moore.〕 Some of the musicians who played in the band during this time included Jimmy Dorsey, Red Nichols and Don Murray.〔''Edison Hot Dance Obscurities Volume 2''; Liner notes, Joe Moore.〕 Many more of his compositions were published and recorded. So popular were the Oreste Queensland Orchestra's recordings that Jazz Oracle released some of their Edison recordings in 2005 on a CD album entitled ''Edison Hot Dance Obscurities, Volume 2''. By 1930 he was living in Bellaire, New York in a house he had purchased. He died in 1973. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oreste Migliaccio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
