Just listening to An American in Paris on ABC Classic. They just put together a really nice tribute programme. I really like some of Gershwins orchestral pieces, especially the original clarinet solo in Rhapsody in Blue. Nice excerpts and interesting information on George and his brother Ira on the official website. Gershwin was only 38 when he died of a brain tumour. What is it with those musicians and composers? Make it to 40 and you are doing well.
