Paul Whiteman
Years ago, when I first started to collect and enjoy jazz music in all its variations, I learned about Paul Whiteman, the orchestra director from the 1920s and 1930s always mentioned in the same breath with Bix Beiderbecke,the celebrated cornet player from Davenport, who played at that orchestra for some years late 1920s. It seemed as if Paul Whiteman's band was uninteresting during the period Bix was not a part of the orchestra's. Thanks to a series of LPs that were released by a young Dutch sound engineer, Harry Coster, in the 1980s, I learned that Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra made some good music, even without Bix Beiderbecke. The two LPs are:
- Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra - volume 1 ( 16 original 1921-1925 recordings) ( Alpha Records 03303)
- Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra - volume 2 ( 18 original 1926-1927 recordings) ( Grannyphone 03306 ).
Last night I played the 1926-1927 recordings. from the period just before Bix Beiderbecke started his short careeer at Witeman's band.

Jaren geleden, toen ik me net ging verdiepen in het fenomeen jazz in al zijn verschijningsvormen, merkte ik dat het leek alsof Paul Whiteman en zijn orkest altijd in één adem genoemd werd met Bix Beiderbecxe, de bejubelde cornetspeler uit Davenport, die kort bij Whiteman speelde. Het leek er op alsof Paul Whiteman's bands zonder Bix, niet de moeite waar waren uit jazzoogpunt. Dank zij een serie LPs, gemaakt door een jonge geluidsrestaurateur Harry Coster, ontdekte ik dat Witeman ook heel interessant is als Bix Beiderbecke niet speelt. Die twee LPs zijn:
- Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra - volume 1 ( 16 original 1921-1925 recordings) ( Alpha Records 03303)
- Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra - volume 2 ( 18 original 1926-1927 recordings) ( Grannyphone 03306 ).
Gisteravond luisterde ik weer eens met veel plezier naar de 1926-1927 opnamen uit de periode van vlak voordat bix Beiderbecke aantrad in de blazerssectie.
