Savannah Music Festival LIVE - 233 - Gershwin for Lovers
As the son of immigrant parents, Jacob Gershowitz was born on September 26, 1898 in Brooklyn, New York. By the time he arrived at Tin Pan Alley in 1916 to begin writing songs as a teenager, Jacob had changed his first name to George and shortened his last name to Gershwin. In this episode, we listen to the music of George Gershwin played by a variety of musicians including Dick Hyman, Bucky Pizzarelli and Howard Alden, Daniel Hope and Sebastian Knauer, and the Marcus Roberts Trio with Marcus Printup, among others.
