George Gershwin Quotes

“I never liked hearing anyone say I was the new George Gershwin, because I knew I could have never even carried that man's music case. If George Gershwin hadn't died when he was thirty-nine years old, there is no knowing how much more great music he would have written.”
― Burt Bacharach

“In Jazz, like in America, the group works together toward a common cause with lots of room left for each individual to shine.”
― Richie Gerber, Jazz: America's Gift: From Its Birth to George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue & Beyond
