Gershwin: “Rhapsody In Blue” by George Gershwin & Paul Whiteman Orchestra 1927

[melvind]

On Thanksgiving day in the USA one of the most "American" pieces of music played by George Gershwin on the piano. Rhapsody in Blue is a great piece and even in this shortened version because of the 78 record limitations, it is a piece of American history and culture. Happy Thanksgiving!
