Jack Gibbons (piano):
The Life of Gershwin
Hailed as an outstanding interpreter of the piano music of George Gershwin, the charismatic, award-winning Jack Gibbons never fails to delight with his incredible, virtuosic skills, and refreshingly informal presentation style.
Tracing Gershwin's extraordinary life from his first hit song Swanee to his final masterpiece, the opera Porgy and Bess, the programme features Gibbons' remarkable transcriptions of the original show-tune improvisations with which Gershwin dazzled high society New York in the Roaring Twenties, including I Got Rhythm and Fascinating Rhythm, as well as Rhapsody in Blue, meticulously reconstructed from the composer's 1925 piano-roll recording. Who could ask for anything more? 'One of the world's greatest Gershwin exponents.' Classic FM "Jack Gibbons is the Gershwin expert's Gershwin expert." Ned Sherrin, BBC Radio 4 jackgibbons.com
