Our Take

As night falls on the bustling city, the twinkling lights of Broadway illuminate the streets. It's the perfect setting to listen to "The Best of Gershwin," a delightful compilation of some of the legendary composer's most iconic tunes.

From the jazzy melodies of "Rhapsody in Blue" to the soulful crooning of "Summertime," this album showcases the breadth and depth of Gershwin's genius. The various artists who have lent their talents to this project bring a fresh interpretation to these timeless classics, breathing new life into them for a modern audience.

One standout track is the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "I Got Rhythm" by the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald. Her velvety voice glides over the orchestra, transporting listeners to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. It's a true joy to listen to, from start to finish.

However, not all tracks hit the mark. The cheesy synthesizers on "Nice Work If You Can Get It" detract from the song's inherent charm, leaving a somewhat sour taste in the listener's mouth. It's a shame, as the original composition is a gem that deserves better treatment.

Overall, "The Best of Gershwin" is a must-listen for fans of classic American music. While not every track is a winner, the album as a whole is a love letter to one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. So dim the lights, pour yourself a martini, and let the music of Gershwin sweep you off your feet.
