In doing so, he became one of the most documented musicians of the Jazz Age. That boy was Roger Wolfe Kahn.Merchant banker Otto Hermann Kahn was one of America’s most generous patrons of the arts; he was also chairman of the Metropolitan Opera Company and a connoisseur of Europe’s avant-garde. When his teenage son, Roger, took up the baton as a bandleader, Otto and Addie hit the roof. Stories of the family’s subsequent bickering and infighting graced the headlines for months.
