Something for the weekend. Rhapsody in Blue (1924). George Gershwin had a brief life of 38 years. What he could have accomplished musically with a longer life span is a sad might have been.

Great stuff. My FAVORITE version of this was recorded by Columbia records in the 70s. It was the jazz band version (rather than the more commonly performed orchestral version) led by Micheal Tilson Thomas and featured the piano played by – George Gershwin, via a piano roll that he had made while alive. Fantastic
#1 favorite music. Porgy and Bess my favorite opera.
