Joe Mueller Organizes
Davis Islands Orchestra
Well-known Paramount Artist, Formerly of
Isham Jones Band, Now Heads His Own
Organization
A well-known and prominent figure in the
banjo world, Joe Mueller, erstwhile of the Isham
Jones' all-star orchestra, has now organized a
dance orchestra of his own which bids fair to
equal the accomplishments of orchestras in
which he has previously been a member.
Mr. Mueller, who through his work on the
Paramount banjo has been a popular figure in
many famous dance bands for a number of
years, is a keen student of music and an able
director as well as arranger. He will be re-
membered for his feature work with the Isham
Jones' Band on its 1926 European tour.
Of this capable player and his new Davis
Islands Orchestra the Tampa, Florida, Morning
Tribune has the following to say:
"Joe Mueller and his Davis Islands Orchestra
has won a high place in the favor of Tampa
society. Mr. Mueller, who played at the Coun-
try Club last season, as a member of Isham
Jones' Orchestra has assembled an organization
declared the equal of any ever heard in the city.
Strictly modern in type, there is a dignity to
the musical offerings that sets them far above
the pedestal occupied by the average of the so-
called best. Mr. Mueller in addition to being an
excellent musician is an arranger of national
prominence."

been visiting the new plant to see exactly how
music is engraved and printed.
