King of Jazz

In 1930, Paul Whiteman's orchestra takes center stage in this lavish revue musical, presenting a dazzling array of musical performances, sketches, and staged tableaux in early two-color Technicolor. Featuring a diverse range of numbers from the likes of Bing Crosby, Al Rinker, and Harry Barris, as well as virtuoso musicians such as Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang, this film is a quintessential example of Hollywood's early sound-era "all-star" musical productions. With its mix of dance, sketch comedy, and big band music, King of Jazz is a vibrant celebration of music and performance that still delights audiences today.
