Loved this. To hear it as Gershwin intended is soul-stirring. Thank you for all of the research and hard work that went into this production.
Our pleasure - thank you for the kind words!
Interesting to hear what is probably the original Paul Whteman version.
Seems rushed.
The original recording was a little rushed as well
@@JoeLinux2000 I love the fast tempi, myself; I personally think it's often done too slowly.
probably due to all the coke and sugar laced cocktails prevalent among high society and jazz artists @@giganerd896
I am shocked and offended a single musician isn't covering the clarinet, oboe, Eb Soprano Saxophone, alto saxophone, and bass clarinet part.
I kid, well done
I wish the bass clarinet solos hadn't been swallowed up by the piano....
