Pierwsze nagranie Reismana miało miejsce na 10-calowej płycie 78 rpm dla Columbia Records, nagranej 10 stycznia 1921 r. - dwa tytuły to „Love Bird”, z wydaniem katalogowym Columbia A-3366, mx 79634 i drugim. tytuł brzmi „Bright Eyes”, z numerem katalogowym Columbia A-3366, mx 79635.
Reisman nagrywał wyłącznie dla Columbii od lipca 1923 do 11 marca 1929, kiedy podpisał kontrakt z Victor i pozostał tam do października 1933. Następnie podpisał kontrakt z Brunswick i pozostał do 1937, kiedy ponownie podpisał kontrakt z Victor Records. W w latach 1929-1933 Reisman nagrał wiele mniej znanych piosenek z tego okresu na Broadwayu, z których część nie została nagrana przez żaden inny zespół. Ze względu na swoją popularność był zawsze jednym z czołowych zespołów w czasie występów w Columbia, Victor i Brunswick, i bardzo płodnie nagrywał.
Reisman miał również zwyczaj przedstawiać kompozytorów i artystów z Broadwayu jako wokalistów zespołu, w tym Harolda Arlena , Freda Astaire'a , Cliftona Webba i Arthura Schwartza . W latach 1931-32 przedstawił Lee Wiley w jej pierwszych trzech nagraniach. Najczęściej jego wokalistami byli Frank Luther , Dick Robertson, a później Sally Singer i George Beuler. Godnym uwagi nagraniem z tego okresu było „ Happy Days Are Here Again ” z listopada 1929 roku z wokalem Lou Levina.
Wśród jego bardziej popularnych hitów znalazły się nagrania numer 1 „ Night and Day ” Cole'a Portera (1932) i „ The Continental ” Conrada (1934) oraz nagranie „ Cheek to Cheek ” Irvinga Berlina ( 1935).
Reisman był przede wszystkim orkiestrą taneczną; nie był fanem muzyki jazzowej, ale niektóre z jego nagrań 78 RPM z początku lat 30. były nieco „gorące”. ( Reisman zatrudnił legendarnego trębacza Bubbera Miley'a w latach 1930–31, który był głównym członkiem orkiestry Duke'a Ellingtona ).
Eddy Duchin był członkiem orkiestry Leo Reismana; to Reisman dał Duchinowi wielką szansę. Lider zespołu i osobowość telewizyjna, Mitch Miller , również był członkiem orkiestry Reismana.
Leo Reisman zmarł w Nowym Jorku 18 grudnia 1961 roku w wieku 64 lat.
