The A-440 LP gives the following composer credits:

Don't Cry (Wagner-Eaton-Shuman)
The Walking Doll (Wagner-Eaton-Shuman)
No Name Jive (Wagner)
Whistler's Mother-in-Law (Wagner-Stevens)
Billy And I (Wagner-Eaton-Shuman)
Penguin at the Waldorf (Wagner-Eaton-Shuman)
Lover's Lullabye (Wagner-Carle-Razaf)

I don't think he had an orchestra as such, as the session seems to be 
made up of studio musicians.
