Rhapsody in Blue-Paul Whiteman:1927 part 1

[ChesterCheetah18]

Could be in Dance Bands?

No sir. I checked last night. I also checked by song title if by chance they used Schubert's name as a pseudonym, but no dice there either.

Correct. It's listed in neither the Jazz nor Dance Band discographies. Quite odd. It's probably the studio personnel but it's strange for them to record a more complex piece like this. Their stock in trade was more the Tin Pan Alley-ish top pop hits of the day.
