About

A picture book biography of famous composer George Gershwin and a look at his famous composition Rhapsody In Blue.
George Gershwin heard music all the time-at home, at school, even on New York City's busy streets. Classical, ragtime, blues, and jazz-George's head was, filled with a whole lot of razzmatazz! With rhythmic swirls of words and pictures, author Suzanne Slade and illustrator, Stacy Innerst, beautifully reveals just how brilliantly Gershwin combined various kinds of music to create his masterpiece, Rhapsody in Blue, a surprising and whirlwind composition of notes, sounds, and one long wail of a clarinet. Includes author's note, timeline, and bibliography.
