Fascinating Rhythms

The Gershwins’ Fascinating Rhythm made 1924 an epic year for music along with Rhapsody in Blue and Pines of Rome. Toes will tap and spirits will soar when jazz legend Roger Kellaway performs his suite from Visions of America featuring images by photo historian Joseph Sohm and songs by Grammy and Academy Award winning lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
