I didn't really know who he was until I had to do this project on him, but I'm glad I actually did this one. He is such an amazing composer. "Rhapsody In Blue" is simply spine tingling. I feel lucky to have gotten Gershwin for a project. This guy is amazing. I didn’t really know who he was until I had to do this project on him, but I’m glad I actually did this one.

Turns out, he was quite the ladies' man and egotist. It's kind of funny if you think about it. If you do conduct a paper on Gerswhin, listen to his music...really listen. "Rhapsody in Blue" is one of the most famous because it's so accessible. Start there. Hypothesize what he was trying to say in the song then compare with researched information. Your teacher would likely be impressed.

It's close minded people like you that I wanna kick in the face. I'm doing a musicology on jazz symphony and Gershwin's works and It's the most fascinating thing in music I've done so far and I'm in senior year with 3 months to go... If you pulled your heads out your arses and got it done instead of complaining about it you wouldnt have such a hard time..k thx bai For all the people who think Gershiwn is lame and how it’s a dumb report you have to do for school or how your’d rather do hendrix grow up like seriously you sound like little kids, open your minds and better yourselves culturally.
