Customer Reviews

An excellent compilation of Gershwin songs

This is a great book for vocalists, pianists and song lovers alike. Included in this volume are some of the most beloved American songs in their repertoire. Songs from operas, jazz standards and love ballads, as well as those American standards provide a wide range of studies and enjoyment for all levels of musicians. I assume that the font used in this book was used with the idea of making it relate to the 1930 era when the Gershwins were composing. But it really only succeeds in making the song titles difficult to read. A complete list of songs: Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did? The Babbit and the Bromide Bess, You Is My Woman Now Bidin' My Time Blah, Blah, Blah But Not For Me By Strauss Clap Yo' Hands Delishious Do, Do, Do Do It Again Embraceable You Fascinating Rhythm Fidgety Feet A Foggy Day For You, For Me, Forevermore Funny Face He Loves And She Loves High Hat How Long Has This Been Going On?
