Paul Whiteman went through many arrangers during his Orchestra's reign but none were probably more important to his legacy than Ferde Grofé, who arranged Rhapsody in Blue and many of the early compositions for Whiteman's Concert Orchestra. Grofé also composed for the Concert Orchestra and they premiered his Grand Canyon Suite. It would be recorded for the first time by Whiteman in 1932.
Here is the discography surrounding Ferde Grofé's recordings:
Mississippi Suite (1927 single)
Metropolis (A Blue Fantasie) (1928 single)
Three Shades of Blue (1928 single)
