Gershwin's hands (www.gershwin.com)George Gershwin's Rhapsody of Life
George Gershwin's Tin Pan Alley hits were inspired by his rough Lower East Side upbringing. Today we speak with musicologist and author, Howard Pollack about whether the legendary songwriter of "Porgy and Bess," and "The Man I Love," whom he argues really belongs among serious classical composers. Also: The New York Times recently noted that singer-songwriter Lee Feldman "uses a Tin Pan Alley bounce to make twisted or troubled situations sound like parlor songs." He joins us with a live performance. Finally, a look ahead to developments in digital music sales in 2007.
Reconsidering Gershwin
Musicologist and author, Howard Pollack talks about "George Gershwin: His Life and Work," his extensive biography of the great American composer.
