Hi all,

I've been enjoying reading this discussion. Azizi started this thread in response to the one about Elijah Wald's new book, which has a chapter called "The King of Jazz," about Paul Whiteman.

The book isn't out yet, but from my reading of the synopsis and from what I know of Elijah Wald's writing, my guess is that the title of the chapter is ironic, and doesn't necessarily reflect Elijah Wald's opinion about Whiteman.

Just thought I'd throw that in there.
