Bootsy’s Box of Records pt 15

Salutations, friends! For this edition of BBR I’ve chosen a record I recently picked up by a native of Colorado!

Mr Paul Whiteman, “The King of Jazz,” folks  paul

I’ll admit, when I first bought this album, I was was really just interested in hearing the arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue (the first recording of this song ever by the way), but after reading more about Mr, Whiteman on the back side of the album, I had found something much more special! Paul Whiteman was a prolific big band and Jazz composer, having written over 3000 arrangements for his band and others. During the 20s, he became the most popular band leader with an imposing group of up to 35 musicians. By 1922, he was in charge of over 28 ensembles on the east coast and was earning over a $1,000,000 a year. Damn! 

So here is a trimmed version of Rhapsody from the movie “King Of Jazz”

Colorado has been so good to us, and we still have more show coming up. Today we’re in beautiful Bond at State Bridge! Showtime is 5:30pm!  Come check us out y’all!
