Paul Whiteman (1890-1967) was one of the most popular American bandleaders in the 1920s. Duke Ellington called him ""the King of Jazz, and no one as yet has come near carrying that title with more certainty and dignity."" Whiteman was an influential American bandleader, composer, and orchestral director who played a significant role in popularizing jazz in the early 20th century. Known for blending classical elements with jazz, Whiteman collaborated with groundbreaking musicians, including George Gershwin, whose Rhapsody in Blue was famously debuted by Whiteman's orchestra. His innovative approach to big band music shaped the evolution of jazz and introduced its sounds to mainstream audiences.
