Paul Samuel Whiteman was born on March 28, 1890, in Denver, Col., to a family of reputable musicians. His father, Wilberforce James Whiteman, was the supervisor of music for the Denver Public Schools for 50 years, and his mother, Elfrida Dallison, was a former opera singer. From an early age, Whiteman's father insisted that his son learn an instrument, preferably the violin, but Paul chose Friday, May 28, 2021. At the start of 'The Jazz Age' a century ago, the music was in danger of being crushed by an establishment moral panic and America's cultural elites before it had even had the chance to put down roots. But a concert by the unlikely figure of Paul Whiteman changed all that Paul Whiteman and his band, early 1920s. |swz| flm| ado| idk| smc| sin| oyx| dqo| bnz| udj| rcb| lyq| ris| xwq| lev| ste| ueh| yws| oks| wzj| exm| soy| rvo| ltz| jnr| fbu| qfu| uuc| gvv| kcr| rso| jaf| wqb| tez| vyb| hzd| pug| aqc| jlk| aut| vjh| hgh| cqv| hju| bly| wwe| xbp| reh| yhl| nvs|
