his first orchestra, an eight-piece
affair, after his first recital.

the COnservatory of MuSic in
Cincinnati, a dance band in a
Middle-West speak-easy, and Cur
tis Institute. It was at the insti
tute that his arranging talent came
into - prominence. His inaugura
tion into the ranks of bandleaders
followed stints with Austin Wy
lie's orchestra and arranging for
Hal Kemp, Benny Goodman, and
Bing Crosby.
As a Navy man during -the war,
Thornhill was given a baton and
told to take the Navy's musical
"Rangers." The Claude Thornhill
All-Star show, featuring his band
and Dennis Day, made an exten
sive tour of the Pacific area.
After the war Thornhill re
turned to civilian life to continue
his career as piano virtuoso and
arranger. He is now billed as
Claude Thornhill, His Piano and
His Orchestra, featuring Christy
Connor and Med Flory.
