Washboard Blues
"Washboard Blues" is a 1926 popular song written by Hoagy Carmichael, Fred B. Callahan and Irving Mills.
On November 18, 1927, it was recorded in Chicago by Paul Whiteman and his Concert Orchestra, featuring piano and lead vocals by Carmichael, and was released as Victor 35877-B
(the B-side of "Among My Souvenirs")
The song is an evocative washerwoman's lament.
Though the verse, chorus, and bridge pattern is present, the effect of the song is of one long, cohesive melodic line with a dramatic shifting of tempo.
The cohesiveness of the long melody perfectly matches the lyrical description of the crushing fatigue resulting from the repetitious work of washing clothes under primitive conditions.
Paul Whiteman
Paul Samuel Whiteman (March 28, 1890 – December 29, 1967) was an American bandleader, composer, orchestral director, and violist.
As the leader of one of the most popular dance bands in the United States during the 1920s and early 1930s, Whiteman produced recordings that were immensely successful, and press notices often referred to him as the "King of Jazz".
Some of his most popular recordings included "WhisperingValenciaThree O'Clock
In The MorningIn A Little Spanish Town", and "Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers".
Paul Whiteman led a usually large ensemble and explored many styles of music, such as blending symphonic music and jazz, as in his debut of "Rhapsody in Blue" by George Gershwin.
Whiteman recorded many jazz and pop standards during his career, including "Wang Wang BluesMississippi MudRhapsody in BlueWonderful OneHot Lips
(He's Got Hot Lips
When He Plays Jazz)Mississippi SuiteGrand Canyon Suite", and "Trav'lin' Light".
He co-wrote the 1925 jazz classic "Flamin' Mamie".
His popularity faded in the swing music era of the mid-1930s, and by the 1940s he was semi-retired from music.
He experienced a revival and had a comeback in the 1950s with his own network television series, "Paul Whiteman's Goodyear Revue", which ran for three seasons.
He also hosted the 1954 ABC talent contest show "On the Boardwalk with Paul Whiteman".
Whiteman's place in the history of early jazz is somewhat controversial.
Detractors suggest that his ornately orchestrated music was jazz in name only, lacking the genre's improvisational and emotional depth, and co-opted the innovations of black musicians.
Defenders note that Whiteman's fondness for jazz was genuine.
He worked with black musicians as much as was feasible during an era of racial segregation.
His bands included many of the era's most esteemed white musicians, and his groups handled jazz admirably as part of a larger repertoire.
Critic Scott Yanow declares that Whiteman's orchestra "did play very good jazz...
His superior dance band used some of the most technically skilled musicians of the era in a versatile show that included everything from pop tunes and waltzes to semi-classical works and jazz.
Many of his recordings (particularly those with Beiderbecke) have been reissued numerous times and are more rewarding than his detractors would lead one to believe."
In his autobiography, Duke Ellington declared, "Paul Whiteman was known as the King of Jazz, and no one as yet has come near carrying that title with more certainty and dignity.
