Gershwin by Edward Jablonski

George Gershwin was that rare musical genius who not only captured the spirit of his times, but whose musical virtuosity - encompassing the varied challenges of Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, Hollywood, and symphony halls - created a body of work that still is widely performed and loved today. Now in a study Edward Jablonski presents a major work on the life and musical accomplishments of one of the 20th century's enduring composers. Based on the author's 40-year fascination with Gershwin and a close relationship with Gershwin's family and friends - most notably late brother Ira - this volume takes its focus and form from the significant events in the composer's life. It is enriched with excerpts and insights from Jablonski's personal correspondence, interview tapes, and rare documents from the Gershwin Archive - plus lively anecdotes and never-before-published photographs.
