Richard Messner (18 December 1907 – February 1972) was an American band leader.
He flourished as a dance band pianist from about 1923 to about 1942.
A longtime resident of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, Messner graduated from Ridgefield Park High School.
The Five Brothers made their radio broadcast debut in 1923 on NBC, then known as WJZ.
In 1936, Dick Messner introduced an idea in New York called "Tymphonic Music" — an ensemble of 10 Timpani, a harp and an augmented violin section in a band of 18 musicians.
It was believed that the experiment was the first time that Timpani had been used wholesale for modern music.
He led a sweet-styled dance orchestra bearing his name from about 1938 to about 1942.
Messner founded his orchestra around 1938, after 16 years performing with his four brothers as "The Five Messner Brothers" with himself as pianist, Johnny as violinist and clarinetist, Charlie (né Charles Messner; 1905–2003) (woodwinds), Bill (né William Messner; 1904–1982) on drums, and Fred (né Frederick Messner; born 1902) on violin.
The Five Messner Brothers and, from 1938 to 1941, the Dick Messner Orchestra, and after World War II, the Johnny Messner Orchestra, performed on national radio broadcasts and regionally around Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
When the Messner brothers started the Philo (later Aladdin) label, Norman Granz was on board to produce a legendary session by Lester Young with Nat Cole on piano.
Additional sessions followed.
