By George, By Ira: Scotty Wright Sings Gershwin

Two of the most famous, most successful songwriters in American music are composer/pianist George Gershwin(1898-1937) and his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin (1896-1983).

Scotty Wright, jazz voice, presents a program of their most popular works, found in the repertoire of performers as varied as Al Jolson, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt, Sammy Davis Jr, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Janis Joplin, Ray Charles and Chaka Khan.

Judi Glover on piano; Joe Porter on bass; Pete Carney on saxophone and flute, and David Hardman on drums will be Scotty’s musical partners, as they explore an amazing chapter of the Great American Songbook: The Gershwin Brothers
