Gustave "Gus" "Gussie" Mueller ( New Orleans, Louisiana April 17, 1890 - Hollywood, California December 16 1965) was an early jazz clarinetist. Mueller was one of the top clarinetists with Papa Jack Laine's bands in New Orleans before going to Chicago with Tom Brown's band in early 1915. After serving in the Army in World War I he moved to California and joined the early Paul Whiteman Orchestra, with which he moved to New York CitySkyline, with Statue of Liberty New York, New York" redirects here.

He helped give Whiteman an idea of the New Orleans jazz style. One of the Whiteman Orchestra's early hit records, as well as one of the unfortunately few recordings where Mueller can be heard prominently, is The Wang Wang Blues which Mueller dominates in a style similar to Larry Sheilds while somewhat foreshadowing the early work of Sidney BechetSidney Bechet ( May 14, 1897 May 14, 1959) was a Jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. From a young age Bechet quickly mastered any musical instrument he picked up. Some New Orleanians remembered him as a corn. While Mueller shares composter credit on "Wang Wang", some of his New Orleans contemporaries said the number was all his and he had featured it before joining Whiteman. As Paul Whiteman started taking himself more seriously and began demanding arrangements with little room for improvisation, Mueller left the band in disgust in 1924Centuries: 19th century 20th century 21st century Decades: 1870s 1880s 1890s 1900s 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s Years: 1919 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 See also 1924 in aviation 1924 in film 1924 in literature 1924 in mu, saying "You call yourselves a jazz band, but you can't play the bluesBlues is a vocal and instrumental musical form which evolved from African American spirituals, shouts, work songs and chants and has its earliest stylistic roots in West Africa.
