What key details about the valentino orchestra can be extracted from the following bio? Bio: the valentino orchestra is a canadian 17-piece pre-swing style big band formed in montreal in 1996 and led by musicologist and composer andrew homzy . gerald danovitch was the lead alto player until he died in 1997 . the valentino orchestra -- named after rudolph valentino -- bases its repertoire of '' sophisticated swing '' on the standards of the golden age of american popular music -- compositions by jerome kern , george gershwin , cole porter , hoagy carmichael , and the many others who in the jazz age established what is often called the great american songbook . most of the music performed by the band was drawn stylistically from the period between the two world wars , and performed accordingly : often with exaggerated '' old style '' pre-swing era rhythm . the band has chosen to preserve the original musical settings of these great songs : the arrangements that were written for the dance bands and hotel orchestras of the 1920s and 1930s , complete with the string section : two violins and an viola .
