Gershwin Flute Album
Gershwin, G

Bill Holcombe's 'Gershwin Flute Album' and CD recording of this collection and other Holcombe arrangements.

Gershwin songs included in this collection: 'S Wonderful', 'Embraceable You', 'The Man I Love','Who Cares', 'Someone to Watch Over Me', and 'Liza'.

'George Gershwin, born in Brooklyn, New York on September 26, 1898, was the second son of Russian immigrants. As a boy, George was anything but studious, and it came as a wonderful surprise to his family that he had secretly been learning to play the piano. In 1914, Gershwin left high school to work as a Tin Pan Alley song plugger and within three years, 'When You Want Em, You Can t Get Em; When You Have Em, You Don t Want Em,' was published. Though this initial effort created little interest, 'Swanee' (lyrics by Irving Caesar) turned into a smash hit by Al Jolson in 1919 brought Gershwin his first real fame.

In 1924, when George teamed up with his older brother Ira, 'the Gershwins' became the dominant Broadway songwriters, creating infectious rhythm numbers and poignant ballads, fashioning the words to fit the melodies with a 'glove-like' fidelity. This extraordinary combination created a succession of musical comedies, including LADY, BE GOOD! (1924), OH, KAY! (1926), FUNNY FACE (1927), STRIKE UP THE BAND (1927 and 1930), GIRL CRAZY (1930), and OF THEE I SING (1931), the first musical comedy to win a Pulitzer Prize. Over the years, Gershwin songs have also been used in numerous films, including SHALL WE DANCE (1937), A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS (1937), and AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (1951). Later years produced the award-winning 'new' stage musicals MY ONE AND ONLY (1983) and CRAZY FOR YOU (1992), which ran for four years on Broadway.'
