‘Rhapsody in Blue’ by Gershwin

Rhapsody in Blue transports us to the Prohibition era in the USA, when jazz emerged and gained recognition. Gershwin, in 1924, and Ravel, in 1928, integrated jazz into their works. In the place of both, Thomas Enhco now sits at the piano, a pianist who also crosses the classical tradition with the expressive readiness of Jazz.
