History
After the end of World War I, musician Victor Arden (1903–August 8, 1962) traveled to New York, where met pianist Phil Ohman (October 7, 1896–1954).[2] Arden originally went to New York to record piano rolls, but the two ended up forming a duo, which became the Arden-Ohman Orchestra.[2] They served as the pit orchestra for Broadway shows such as Lady, Be Good (1924), Tip-Toes (1926) and Spring Is Here (1929).[1]
