Review of Compact Discoveries 31: A Gershwin Tribute

This is a terrific--and not even dated, although recorded in 1938--tribute to the great George Gershwin by Jane Froman, one of the foremost interpreters of his songs, the one chosen by Gershwin himself to introduce Summertime on the radio. I was delighted to listen to it on my computer and would be very pleased for the opportunity to hear it on the radio.
