Ferde Grofé (1892-1972)
Ferde
Grofé was a pioneering jazz arranger and, like Gershwin,
successfully made the transition from popular music into the concert
hall. Beginning his career in Los Angeles in 1910, Grofé worked for San
Francisco-based bandleader Art Hickman as an arranger before famously
joining Paul Whiteman in 1920. Grofé orchestrated Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
and composed perennials such as Mississippi
Suite (1926) and Grand
Canyon Suite (1931)
before leaving Whiteman in 1932. Although his conservative style fell
out of favor in the mid-century, Grofé foreshadowed the extremes of
volume and masterfully colorful orchestration reintroduced by American
composers from the 1990s.- Uncle Dave Lewis/All Music Guide
