George Gershwin blossomed as an accompanist before his talent as a
songwriter opened the way to Broadway where he fashioned his own
brand of American music. He composed a run of musical comedies,
with his brother Ira as lyricist, and several classical works while
he became a favoured guest in New York social circles. His 1924
Rhapsody in Blue was an instant classic rooted in his absorption of
African American music. A decade later came Porgy and Bess, his
magnum opus. The brothers left New York to write songs for
Hollywood-but their work was cut short when George developed a
brain tumour and died at thirty-eight. Richard Crawford traces the
arc of Gershwin's remarkable life, seamlessly blending colourful
anecdotes with a discussion of Gershwin's unforgettable oeuvre.
