Known primarily for his jazz-tinged orchestral work \u003ci\u003eRhapsody in Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, his folk opera \u003ci\u003ePorgy and Bess\u003c\/i\u003e, and his many wonderful songs featured in the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gershwin and his lyricist brother Ira were key figures in the songwriting circles of pre-war America. Rodney Greenberg’s lively biography paints a vivid picture of this exciting era in the development of American music, and places Gershwin’s life and career within the social and cultural contexts in which he flourished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892014018789,"sku":"NP9780714847726","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_f84aea2f-9d27-4e2b-8a08-0bd5dcb4ff00.jpg?v=1773102329","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/george-gershwin-isbn-9780714847726","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
