This appears to be a pseudonym for Joe (aka Joseph) Basile & His Velodrome Orchestra. He recorded a few sides in the first half of the 20s. Hardly anything is known about him today. He was usually based at Newark and was a live wire director of band and orchestra. He appeared at Madison Square Garden in New York on several important engagements and his Orchestra enjoyed popularity in New York and surrounding cities. In 1921 he was engaged in Chicago for several weeks. As for this excellent side, it was recorded in 1923.
