I absolutely love these earlier years of Paul Whiteman. They produced that quintessential ‘20s sound that everyone knows, and they did a stellar job of it. I mean, if you let any person on the street hear some of these sides, regardless of prior knowledge, I’m absolutely sure they will say “yeah, that’s like 1920s music,” owing to them having heard it in some movie or show. And this may sound trivial or non important to us who listen to it (more) often, but in essence what Paul will have done is capture the attention of the masses for centuries. Of course, with some help from Gershwin I guess. But anyway, thanks for the lovely upload!
I think the "Birth Of The Blues" is a real scorcher - here you have the band indulging in some lovely inroads into the pure fun and then suddenly breaking into R.I. Blue without a blink! Very skilfully done -- and far more difficult than the casual listener would realise. This is such wonderful music in it`s own right whether people want to dance to it or not" Remember all the work of writing out the arrangements to make this all possible. B.W.
Whenever I see early pictures of the Paul Whiteman orch. I always look for Tommy or Jimmy Dorsey. I think I spotted Jimmy immediately to Whiteman's left in the first picture. Tommy always followed Jimmy in the early days of Goldkette and Whiteman.
Thank you for presenting the Paul Whiteman Orchestra recording wonderful music during the period 1925-26. The favorites are numerous here. Greatly appreciate the effort of collecting the recordings and combining them.
Great stuff for New Year's Eve this evening. Remembering Michael. I believe we have one of the CD's he and Donald created years ago with Paul Whiteman and orchestra. xooo Thank you!

It's interesting that "Charleston" was the B-side. ("Honey, I'm in Love With You" was the A-side.) They couldn't predict the influence that song would have on people's perception of the 1920s.
I believe it was Charles, not "Chester" Gaylord, ( who was also a bandleader and violinist ), who made up a third of the "Sweet Trio" with Jack Fulton and Austin Young, in Whiteman's organization.
Many thanks for all the great tunes with the "Sweet Trio", especially "Birth of the Blues", liberally seasoned with snippets from Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, ( a tongue-in-cheek reference to the "birth o' the blues" from the King of Jazz himself, who commissioned that piece ), not to mention Ferde Grofe, who transcribed it, along with this arrangement, I'm sure. @@donaldherbertholmes6228
My grandfather played the trumpet for this group in the 1920s. The highest paid jazz band.
Yes, Paul was *very* generous to his musicians and arrangers (including Ferde Grofe, Bill Challis and Tom Satterfield).
Who was your grandfather? 😃
That's incredible 👏 Your grandfather must have been very talented!
What was his name?
Now, that's something to be proud of!
What was your grandfather's name?

Always heard in a Cartoon show
He cut his last side in like, 1956? I think that means he recorded more side than even the Beatles or Sinatra?
I believe it was Charles, not "Chester" Gaylord, ( who was also a bandleader and violinist ), who made up a third of the "Sweet Trio" with Jack Fulton and Austin Young, in Whiteman's organization.
Thanks for the info-Chester is now Charles

Проста красиво и лекций ветирок.🕸️☕🤣🤣🤣🤣
Umm, he palyed long before 1925? His first side was like 1919??
Yep, check Wikipedia.
Lo único que se me ocurre al escuchar ésta música es que los jóvenes de ahora son tontos, y además se aburren.
