1927 was a pivotal year for Whiteman and his band, as they placed a greater emphasis on "hot" tunes while still keeping the more florid arrangements in the book. With the infusion of major jazz talent like Red Nichols and the Dorsey Brothers, and with the vocal group led by Bing Crosby (the Rhythm Boys With Al Rinker and Harry Barris) already in place in the band, Whiteman's music became even more eclectic, both symphonic and swinging, with everything from waltzes to show tunes to pop songs being fair game. Vocalists were getting featured more and, in addition to the Rhythm Boys, were also treated to the hammy but effective stylings of Austin "Skin" Young, the Sweet Trio, and Jack Fulton. No Bix or Trumbauer, but some pretty effective music by a master bandleader.
