George Gershwin

by Merle Armitage

Book Overview

Shortly after George Gershwin's premature death in 1937, Merle Armitage invited Gershwin's friends and associates to contribute memories and tributes for this volume, which was first published in 1938. Few figures have lent themselves so aptly to composite treatment as did the versatile Gershwin. In these 38 articles, a remarkable range of interests are covered, comprising a warm and glowing portrait of an extraordinary musician who exerted an unparalleled influence on his era.
