This review is from: Gershwin in His Time (Hardcover)

Colorful photos, sheetmusic covers, it really gives you the feel of Gershwin in his time. If you are interested in what Gershwin and his contemoraries had to say (and what they looked like) this a great book. Obviously, its not a biography.

This review is from: Gershwin in His Time (Hardcover)

This book is composed of articles written by Gershwin and others commenting on his work, that cover the period from 1919 till his death in 1937. Therein lies the strength and weakness of this book. More is needed if this is one's introduction to this American genius, but it makes a fine addition to those who want to capture a sense of the time and and read what Gershwin wrote on jazz and music.
