I’ve got to check out Classical Cat myself – it sounds like a great site. As for George Gershwin, he was mainly a composer of music for Broadway shows – the “pop” music of the early-and mid-20th Century. Although he was not, strictly speaking, a “jazz” stylist, “Rhapsody” was originally written for performance by one of the more popular jazz performers of the era, Paul Whiteman. The version you probably heard is a standard arrangement for piano and orchestra. If you enjoyed “Rhapsody”, look for “An American In Paris”, another Gershwin piece.

Love the design of your blog! Hope you can find the time to see either one of mine:
