2.0 out of 5 stars too bad..........., September 19, 2005

This review is from: The George & Ira Gershwin Fake Book (Paperback)

What a nice selection of songs! and excerpts from the 3 big piano/orchestral works. And lyrics and verses included! And then the whole thing is ruined because the chord changes are over-simplified, or just wrong. Too bad.
