EDITORS COMMENTS
Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra in the Rhapsody in Blue sequence from 'The King of Jazz' (Universal Pictures, 1930) is an iconic image that captures the essence of jazz music and Hollywood glamour during the Roaring Twenties and early 1930s. In this photograph, Paul Whiteman, the renowned bandleader and pioneer of big band jazz, stands confidently among his orchestra members as they prepare to perform the groundbreaking composition 'Rhapsody in Blue' by George Gershwin. The image is taken from the 1930 film 'The King of Jazz,' in which Whiteman and his orchestra featured prominently. The sequence showcases the orchestra's virtuosity as they seamlessly blend classical and jazz elements, bringing Gershwin's iconic composition to life. The photograph captures the excitement and energy of the moment, with the dapperly dressed musicians poised to deliver an unforgettable performance. The 1930s were a golden age for jazz music and Hollywood films, and 'The King of Jazz' was a testament to this cultural phenomenon. The film was a showcase of various musical numbers, featuring not only Whiteman and his orchestra but also other popular acts of the time. The photograph encapsulates the spirit of entertainment that defined the era, with its combination of jazz music, Hollywood glamour, and innovative filmmaking. The image has been preserved in the Mary Evans Picture Library, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a reminder of the enduring influence of Paul Whiteman and his orchestra on jazz music and popular culture. The photograph is a must-have for any jazz enthusiast, historian, or collector interested in the history of music and Hollywood in the 1930s.
