Cover: Paul Whiteman played for the Denver Symphony Orchestra as a teenager, in a U. S. Navy band during World War I, and in a jazz band in 1919. Through the 1920s he led the transformation of jazz into its mainstream form. From 1932 until 1950 he had his own radio program. This picture shows him before a broadcast in the 1930s.
