Famous U.S. Jazz Orchestrator
FERDE | GROFE is nothing if . not original, and is one of the best of -jazz orchestrators and composers. An American, he has been closely associated with Paul Whiteman, although he has an orchestra of his own. Grofe’s original works include "The Grand Canyon" Suite, "Mississippi"’ Suite, "Three Shades of Blue," "Wheels" Suite, and "Tabloid." This last work, typifying a day’s work on a New York newspaper, depicted in terms of music those flaring picture-sheets, all crime and love confessions, which figure in racketeering films. The Ferde Grofe Orchestra is listed at 1YA Sunday, August 20, in Ferde Grofe’s "Wheels" Suite, a theme in which the composer’s ingenuity is given full play.
