Blue Network
by
Paul Whiteman's Open House Party is a radio variety program led by bandleader Paul Whiteman, whose career helped bring jazz and popular music to a broad radio audience. The title suggests an informal gathering hosted by Whiteman, with music at its center.
Whiteman was known for presenting orchestral jazz and popular songs, bringing together the sounds of a dance band with the lighter, welcoming style of a variety broadcast. The program offers a glimpse of that musical world in a Blue Network radio setting.
Listeners can expect a polished, sociable atmosphere shaped by Whiteman's role as host and musical figure. Its appeal lies in hearing a prominent bandleader bring popular entertainment into the home through the intimate, conversational medium of radio.
