Our Take

Ah, the classic tunes of George Gershwin, a true master of musicality and elegance. This album, curated with care and precision, brings together a variety of artists paying tribute to the iconic songwriter.

From the jazzy rendition of "Summertime" to the soulful interpretation of "Someone to Watch Over Me," each track on this album is a delightful journey through the timeless melodies of Gershwin. The rich orchestration and impeccable vocal performances transport the listener to a bygone era of sophistication and glamour.

However, while the artists on this compilation certainly possess talent, there are moments where the reverence for Gershwin's original compositions borders on the verge of mimicry. It would have been refreshing to see more innovation and reinterpretation in certain tracks, to truly showcase the artists' individuality and creativity.

Overall, The Classic Songs of George Gershwin is a pleasant listen for those looking to immerse themselves in the golden age of American music. With its lush arrangements and heartfelt vocals, this album is sure to appeal to fans of both Gershwin and the Great American Songbook. So grab a glass of champagne, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey through the timeless tunes of a musical genius. Cheers!
