Paul Whiteman
(1890 – 1967)

Paul Whiteman

Paul WhitemanMusical Variety Programs ( 1933-1946)


In the 1920s, Paul Whiteman proudly proclaimed himself to be "The King of Jazz," much to the dismay of jazz historians across the country. Definitions of musical styles have changed, and much of Paul's music isn't considered to be jazz as we know it today. Paul did, however, employ many of the jazz greats over the years. In fact, Bing Crosby got his start with Paul Whitman's Rhythm Boys. Over time, other great artists in his band include Tommy Dorsey, Eddie Lang, Johnny Mercer, Jack Teagarden and Red Nichols. Whiteman's musicians were the best paid in the industry, and he was a well-liked leader of the band. He was best known for Rhapsody in Blue, his band's signature song. Paul himself commission Gershwin to write the song, and proudly performed it repeatedly.

This collection includes Paul Whiteman's lineup of great shows that he hosted throughout the years. It all begins with Kraft Music Hall, which he hosted from 1933 to 1935. Then he moved to the Chesterfield Hour, and stayed there from 1938 to 1939. A few years later he hosted Paul Whiteman Presents in the 1943 as a summer replacement program for Bergen and McCarthy. It was a tremendous hit, and starred huge guests each week, including Burns and Allen, Helen Morgan, Jimmy Durante, and Red Skelton.

    Great show, especially when A-list guests appeared.

    George Verified Purchase

    Delightful programs. I would call it "Easy Listening" music. The Whiteman band performs beautifully--especially the theme song, "Rhapsody in Blue". The latter half of the series feature Dinah Shore as one of the vocalists. I like her style of singing and her humorous exchanges with other guests. Some of the songs performed are Holiday for Strings; Highway to the Stars; and Sunday, Monday or Always. I enjoy listening to these programs while working on my computer, sometimes pausing just to listen.

    You have a great business, I’ve enjoyed all the fun collections over the years.

    Rob Verified Purchase

    I love this collection. What can I say about Paul Whiteman that hasn't already been said? This is a collection of his best orchestra performances and it's like stepping back into time, turning on the old cathedral table top radio with the lighted dial and listening to music from a time when music made sense. "That just about slaps the cap on the old milk bottle tonight!"
