King of Jazz is a 1930 American pre-Code color musical film starring Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. In the 1920s Whiteman signed and featured 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.

A musical-adventure that follows a Boston dance instructor kidnapped by pirates, ending up in a 19th-century California town for comedic and romantic escapades. Noted for vibrant Technicolor sequences, it's among early musicals filmed in color.
