Book Reviews of George Gershwin: His Life and Work

Book Review: Comprehensive!
Summary: 5 Stars

After 70 years or so since George died so tragically, much has been written, however, Howard Pollack gives new meaning to comprehensive. I became a Gershwinaholic in my early teens having seen the film "An Amercian in Paris" and I needed this volume to round off my collection. Totally engaging and extremely well researched with much new information, this is a must-have for all who love Gershwin and his music.
