I Got Rhythm! And it's Funny!

This arrangement of Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" reaches into ranges that demand a little much from the ear, but these kids are great and having lots of fun- and isn't that what this is all about?!

I Got Rhythm - Gershwin - 6 hands

Is it Classical? Is it Jazz?

You need to hear the Impromptu Op. 66, No. 22 by Nicolai Kapustin.

This artist plays beautifully- but it's not a pure jazz sound. That's OK with me, but after hearing Kapustin play it I almost miss the cold, deep soul of jazz, she sounds like she plays with the fire and touch of a classical artist by comparison. I love the music around :50-:60

To hear what I mean, Kapustin himself sounds way more like the jazz player he is here.

Cool piece! I really enjoy composers who blend the jazz with classical traditions.

Like Copland's Clarinet Concerto.

Enjoy!!!
