A fantastic selection of concertos from the American Jazz Age including Gershwin’s immortal A Rhapsody in Blue, heard here in its complete original version for jazz band, orchestrated by Ferde Grofé. Grofé also orchestrated the Concerto in Three Rhythms by Dana Suesse (dubbed ‘Girl Gershwin’ by The New Yorker). The second theme from her Jazz Nocturne became a popular hit when Bing Crosby crooned it under the title My Silent Love.
