King of Jazz: PAUL WHITEMAN's Vernon Country Club Orchestra 1922 Sheet Music

Description: This is a rare piece of sheet music for the song "THE FLAPPER" ("She Rules the World To-Day") featured by PAUL WHITEMAN and his Vernon Country Club Orchestra ..... Biography: PAUL WHITEMAN (1890 — 1967) was an American bandleader, called the “King of Jazz” for popularizing a musical style that helped to introduce jazz to mainstream audiences during the 1920's and 1930's. Whiteman, who was originally a violinist, conducted a 40-piece U.S. Navy band in 1917–18 and then developed a hotel orchestra in California, which he took to New York City in 1920. He hired the best white jazz players, but he allowed little room for improvisation in his arrangements and greatly simplified jazz rhythms. He was successful as a co-composer of popular songs during the 1920's and led his orchestra in Broadway musicals. Whiteman commissioned George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and conducted it's premiere at Aeolian Hall, New York City, in 1924, with the composer as piano soloist. Whiteman also introduced the Grand Canyon Suite (1931) by Ferde Grofe, who had arranged the Rhapsody. The Rhapsody became Whiteman’s theme, and he established the Whiteman Awards for compositions in a “symphonic jazz” style. The 1930 film King of Jazz was the first of four in which his orchestra appeared. Whiteman was the host of several national radio programs during the 1930's, wrote three books, and recorded extensively. His popularity waned in the late 1940's, but he came back as a television-series host in the 1950's and occasionally led bands up to the time of his death. (Britannica) .....
