## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I loved this book!
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2020*

I read it while lounging outdoors this summer and every page was a pleasure - largely because I was fascinated by the subject and appreciated the moderately "intimate" details of the story.  It was a good read and certainly gave me a much deeper understanding of Gershwin, his background, family, friends, life story, music.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about George Gershwin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    For the true purist of George Gershwin music.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019*

You need to be a true purist of George Gershwin music. A lot of the songs are done by the original artist & not necessarily up to singing standards nor preferences of today. I loved it myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    's wonderful, 's marvelous
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2003*

If you have any interest in American music of the early 20th century in general, or George Gershwin in particular, you will not be able to look at the playlist to this remarkable 2-dvd set without salivating.  This is a who's who of talent beginning with Gershwin himself (Prelude No. 2 for Piano and Rhapsody in Blue) and continuing on with Fred Astaire, Rosemary Clooney, Gene Kelly, Al Jolson, Doris Day, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Harry James, Mel Torme, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan and Tony Bennett.  The sound quality is surprisingly good and the selection is magnificent, the songs presenting a wonderful and vivid protrait of the American music scene in the early part of the 20th century.  (Even though Gershwin died in 1937, singers and bandleaders have been performing his songs ever since.)The accompanying booklet contains fine essays by music critic Tim Page and composer Diane Warren, as well as liner notes for each of the 41 selections, and a few pictures.Superb.
