By Ciccio Regina, Federica D'Agostino, and Gershwin Quintet. By George Gershwin. Classical. CD. Naxos #DIGR46. Published by Naxos (NX.DIGR46).

The Gershwin Quintet has followed a quite original path. They are a group made, not by chance, by four saxophones and a piano (sometimes you can hear the sound of a flute) which, thanks to the help of two solo voices, realizes a detailed single-subject analysis. From the famous songs to the Fa Concert, the ensemble leads the audience to the discovery of the two faces of the great musician, on the one hand the pianist who loved to improvise jazz melodies and on the other the ambitious composer to make his way into the world of music. A blueprint for American music, rhythmic and malicious at the same time, reinterpreted with freshness and elegance from an unreleased ensemble to the feminine.
