This import disc, containing 21 tracks and running nearly 70 minutes, commemorates the 100th anniversary of Paul Whiteman's birth by combining Columbia and Victor sides recorded from Whiteman's early days of bandleading up to just before the birth of the Swing Era. They are for the most part light, pleasant instrumentals. Only two, "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" (here called "Parade of the Tin Soldiers") and "It All Depends on You," were among Whiteman's many hits. Another, "I'm a Dreamer," features a refrain by a vocal trio, plus the voice of a young Bing Crosby. The set concludes with a medley of some of Whiteman's biggest bits and an abbreviated version of "Rhapsody in Blue." The sound quality is adequate, though it has not been cleaned up to remove surface noise. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
