Gershwin
This still unrivaled biography portrays with precision and insight the tragically brief life—from the Brooklyn tenements to Broadway, Hollywood, and Carnegie Hall—of George Gershwin (1898–1937), a man whose music (Lady Be Good, Of Thee I Sing, Rhapsody in Blue, Concerto in F, An American in Paris, Porgy and Bess) and career—like F. Scott Fitzgerald's—embodied the glamorous success and lost possibilities of the Jazz Age.

Gershwin Remembered
Gershwin is one of the few composers whose music has been appropriated by popular and 'serious' music lovers alike. Best known for his 'hit' musicals Lady, Be Good, Oh, Kay! and Girl Crazy, he could write with equal conviction for the concert hall and the opera house. Ed Jablonski, a Gershwin aficionado, compiles a revealing portrait of this legendary yet elusive composer, charting his progress from Tin Pan Alley to the starry heights of Hollywood, with contemporary critical reactions to such classics as Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris and Porgy and Bess. Gershwin is remembered by, amongst others, Osbert Sitwell, Oscar Levant, Richard Rodgers, Serge Koussevitzky, Schoenberg, Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin, Kay Swift, Jerome Kern, his sister Frances, and his brother Ira Gershwin, his best-loved collaborator.
