Description: GEORGE GERSHWIN was the first popular song composer who graduated from Tin Pan Alley to Carnegie Hall, and lifted jazz to the concert stages of the whole world. Today, only a few years after his untimely death at the age of thirty-seven, few will deny that Gershwin was one of the greatest musicians America ever produced. He is as well-loved now as Johann Strauss was in his day — his tunes have circled the globe and have had a tremendous influence on today's popular music. David Ewen has based this biography on memories of his personal acquaintance with Gershwin, as well as on a rich musical background of his own. Mr. Ewen is one of our best known and ablest writers on music. He has contributed regularly for over a decade to magazines of music and the theater and is the author of a dozen standard musical works. At the present time he is preparing a biography of Haydn. This special edition of THE STORY OF GEORGE GERSHWIN by David Ewen has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Henry Holt and Company, New York.
