You might have to watch for things like "Ada Jones and American Quartet", or similar team ups. American Quartet were artists in their own right. Some of the labels had their own bands/orchestras, and often more than one (e.g. Edison Military Band, Edison Symphony Orchestra, Edison Concert Band, Edison Grand Concert Band, Edison Light Opera Co). Again, these often recorded as artists in their own right. Also, some artists started with a band and went on to record with a (credited) orchestra, or changed the name of the band when they changed their music style.

The world and his wife used to have an orchestra, and those that didn't had a quartet. I think it adds to the period charm to have the various bands etc. credited in each artists section, but I wouldn't want to have to enter them when doing a search. That's getting a bit too much like another site I could mention, where I've had more than one album search draw a blank because I didn't put "and his band" or whatever in the search box.
