1.0 out of 5 stars Dull lounge music, March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gershwin Standard Time: The George Gershwin Centennial Tribute (Audio CD)

The reviews of this album sounded pretty good, but we were disappointed. These are slicked-up smoothed-over versions of some great classics. Instead, I love George and Ira Gershwin "Standards and Gems" for a more authentic sound.

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Own" Album for any Gershwin fan, July 21, 1999

This review is from: Gershwin Standard Time: The George Gershwin Centennial Tribute (Audio CD)

I do *not* agree at all with the one-star review currently displayed. This is a great album of Gershwin music performed by some of the greatest artists of the last 50+ years. The sound quality is also excellent. As far as I'm concerned, this is a "must own" album for any Gershwin fan.
