King of Jazz is a 1930 American color film starring Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra. The film's title was taken from Whiteman's controversial, self-conferred appellation. Although using the word to describe Whiteman's music may seem absurd today, at the time the film was made, "jazz", to the general public, meant the jazz-influenced syncopated dance music which was being heard everywhere on phonograph records and through radio broadcasts. Lending his title a measure of legitimacy is the fact that in the 1920s Whiteman signed and featured great white jazz musicians including Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang (both are seen and heard in the film), Bix Beiderbecke (who had left before filming began), Frank Trumbauer and others still held in high regard.
King of Jazz was filmed entirely in the early two-color Technicolor process and was produced by Carl Laemmle for Universal Pictures. The movie featured several songs sung on camera by the Rhythm Boys (Bing Crosby, Al Rinker and Harry Barris), as well as off-camera solo vocals by Crosby during the opening credits and, very briefly, during a cartoon sequence. King of Jazz still survives in a complete color print and is not a lost film.
King Of... was a television comedy talk show made by Big Talk Productions for Channel 4. It was first broadcast on 17 June 2011 and was hosted by Claudia Winkleman. The show featured two celebrity guests per episode and a studio audience. The guests discussed what is the 'king of' various categories.
On 24 June 2011, Channel 4 announced that King Of... was to be cut short due to Winkleman's pregnancy. The final 2 episodes, with Ruby Wax & Johnny Vegas and Billie Piper, were not recorded.

A Scene from THE KING OF JAZZ
Made during the early years of the movie musical, this exuberant revue was one of the most extravagant, eclectic, and technically ambitious Hollywood productions of its day. Starring the bandleader Paul Whiteman, then widely celebrated as the King of Jazz, the film drew from Broadway variety shows of the time to present a spectacular array of sketches, performances by such acts as the Rhythm Boys (featuring a young Bing Crosby), and orchestral numbers overseen by Whiteman himself (including a larger-than-life rendition of George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”)—all lavishly staged by veteran theater director John Murray Anderson and beautifully shot in early Technicolor.
THE KING OF JAZZ is available on Criterion Blu-ray/DVD 27 March 2018.

Bing Crosby's Film Debut: 1930's "King of Jazz" as one of The Rhythm Boys
As familiar as I am with Bing Crosby, I was still struck by how young he was in his film debut - one of the Rhythm Boys in the 1930 review, "King of Jazz," a tribute to the popular bandleader Paul Whiteman. Happily, the film was shot in two-strip technicolor, so Bing's gorgeous blue eyes just POP. Also, you can see his own natural hair, styled to cover his creeping baldness. (He would eventually wear hairpieces in his films).
The Rhythm Boys were, the Whiteman Orchestra's vocal trio featuring Bing, along with Harry Barris and Al Rinker. Bing was scheduled to sing "Song of the Dawn" in the movie but a motor accident led to him being jailed for a time and the song was given to John Boles.

It's interesting to pay attention to Bing's body language - in which his whole body latched on to the rhythm, his body bouncing and arms swaying. Between his blue eyes, his melodious voice and swinging body, his presence certainly commanded attention in his first film appearance. Audiences at that time were only familiar with jazz or band singers from records or early radio, knowing only their voices not their appearances.
"King of Jazz" was a review, shot in 2-strip technicolor, and produced by Carl Laemmle Jr. for Universal Pictures. There is no story, only a series of musical numbers alternating with "blackouts" (very brief comedy sketches with abrupt punch line endings) and other short introductory or linking segments. It still survives in a near-complete color print and is not a lost film, unlike many contemporary musicals that now exist only either in incomplete form or as black-and-white reduction copies.
King of Jazz was the nineteenth all-talking motion picture filmed entirely in two-color Technicolor rather than simply including color sequences. At the time, Technicolor's two-color process employed red and green dyes, each with a dash of other colors mixed in, but no blue dye.
