It includes well-known Gershwin favorites of the American Songbook, such as How Long Has This Been Going On?, The Man I Love, ”S Wonderful and They Can”t Take That Away From Me, as well as rarely recorded gems like Slap That Bass, Treat Me Rough, and the magestic orchestral Overture from the film Rhapsody in Blue.
