In all its 2-strip Technicolor glory, here's the original trailer for the mega-musical that captured Paul Whiteman's finest band for posterity (although Universal's inability to get its act together resulted in the lost opportunity to film the full Whiteman troupe with Bix Beiderbecke still on board).

This is another gorgeous example of Whiteman's talent as an extremely skilful orchestrator. This record (which I'm presenting thanks to a YouTube friend) was made for Victor in 1927. Vocals are sung by the King's Men.

While directing the segment "The Last White Man Alive" for an episode of "The Patrice Oneal Show", Patrice runs into a few obstacles - primarily Dante, Wil and Harris' terrible acting, an awful script and, once again, a barely clothed Bryan's inability to say the n-word.

I came across a rather unusual recording of this well-known tune. Recently, several sublime videos by this orchestra have been uploaded, and I thought this one would illustrate another aspect of this top class ensemble. The present recording, featuring vocals by Hoagy Carmichael (the composer of the song), was made for Victor on November 18th, 1927.
