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.'”
