Wang Wang Blues

(from RedHotJazz.com) Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra was the most popular band of the 1920s and represented the apex of jazz to the general public. Over the years, critics and some musicians like Eddie Condon, have not had kind words to say about the band and have tended to represent Whiteman as a bad influence on the music in his attempts to "Make a lady out of Jazz". Whiteman also "discovered" Bing Crosby, one of many of his famous band hires. +
