“[When Gershwin premiered] Rhapsody in Blue, ... too spontaneous, that it created formal gaps. And it's important, therefore, to be able to play in the moment when performing this work, but also to have a clear sense of when time is passing. It's image-filled, but that's New York.”
John Pickett
“I hear the name Gershwin and I think of the most incredibly talented, prolific, extraordinary composer of the century, and his music is as fresh and vital today as it was when he originally created it.”
Michael Feinstein
“If he'd been around 75 years ago, George Gershwin would have written about him 'the way you wear your hat, the way you raise your knee.'”
Tim McCarver
“A rhapsody of words.”
William Shakespeare
“We are thrilled to have Russell Simmons join our global rhapsody of talents and visions. In addition to being a master musician and a champion of the underdog, Russell is also an important inter-ethnic dialogue maker- a perfect match with the mission of Music Days.”

“We know that once people use Rhapsody they love it, but getting more people to use it has been our biggest challenge. With the new site people can experience our music services immediately without a subscription, and in the long term, the Web services will help weave Rhapsody into the fabric of the Web itself.”
Dan Sheeran
