Many of his compositions have been used on television and in numerous films, and many became jazz standards. The jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald recorded many of the Gershwins' songs on her 1959 Gershwin Songbook (arranged by Nelson Riddle). Countless singers and musicians have recorded Gershwin songs, including Fred Astaire, Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson, Bobby Darin, Art Tatum, Bing Crosby, Janis Joplin, John Coltrane, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Sam Cooke, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Madonna, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Marni Nixon, Natalie Cole, Patti Austin, Nina Simone, Maureen McGovern, John Fahey, The Residents, Sublime, and Sting.
About the composer:
George Gershwin (September 26, 1898 July 11, 1937) was an American composer and pianist whose early death brought to a premature halt one of the most remarkable careers in American music. Gershwin's compositions spanned both popular and classical genres, and his most popular melodies are universally familiar. He wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works in collaboration with his elder brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin composed music for both Broadway and the classical concert hall, as well as popular songs that brought his work to an even wider public.
Gershwin's compositions have been used in numerous films and on television, and many became jazz standards recorded in numerous variations. Countless singers and musicians have recorded Gershwin songs.
Early life
Gershwin was named Jacob Gershowitz at birth in Brooklyn on September 26, 1898. His parents were Russian Jews. His father, Morris (Moishe) Gershowitz, changed his family name to 'Gershvin' sometime after immigrating to the United States from St. Petersburg, Russia in the early 1890s. Gershwin's mother Rosa Bruskin had already immigrated from Russia. She met Gershowitz in New York and they married on July 21, 1895.[1] (George changed the spelling of the family name to 'Gershwin' after he became a professional musician; other members of his family followed suit.)
George Gershwin was the second of four children.[2] He first displayed interest in music at the age of ten, when he was intrigued by what he heard at his friend Maxie Rosenzweig's violin recital.[3] The sound and the way his friend played captured him. His parents had bought a piano for lessons for his older brother Ira, but to his parents' surprise and Ira's relief, it was George who played it.[4] Although his younger sister Frances Gershwin was the first in the family to make money from her musical talents, she married young and devoted herself to being a mother and housewife. She gave up her performing career, but settled into painting for another creative outlet - painting was also a hobby of George Gershwin.
Gershwin tried various piano teachers for two years, and then was introduced to Charles Hambitzer by Jack Miller, the pianist in the Beethoven Symphony Orchestra. Until Hambitzer's death in 1918, he acted as Gershwin's mentor. Hambitzer taught Gershwin conventional piano technique, introduced him to music of the European classical tradition, and encouraged him to attend orchestra concerts.[5] (At home following such concerts, young Gershwin would attempt to reproduce at the piano the music that he had heard.) Gershwin later studied with classical composer Rubin Goldmark and avant-garde composer-theorist Henry Cowell.
wow ...You probably dont remember me, but i messaged you 7 years ago, about the introduction you played in this video. Seven years today, I am totally shocked on the progress i have made, because i know all the scales and chord voicing you are skillfully playing! Thank you for inspiring me :)
7 years ago wow, how’s your progress now?
@@alchemelixor5508 I know its hard to believe. Its steady, i haven't uploaded in forever! I need to revamp this channel
I stumbled across this 14 years ago. I’m back again after having the memory triggered. This playing is so damn good. The older i get, the more I respect it.
Hi, many thanks!
Literally felt the raindrops in his playing.
please redo this song in high quality, can't get enough of it! this is the best version i've heard so far, just play it again the same way!!
GOOD LORD!!!! what a high level of artistry this is!!!!!
This song that he played so beautifully is the only son that’s ever made me feel the way I do when I listen to it. It pulls me into a serene spot in my soul where I feel untouched, pure. I absolutely love this.
Thank you so much! for the nice comment!
Unbeliveable... I'm brazilian and I am impressioned about it!!! omg is this really ab improvisation? I can't believe... I studied classical piano and I think this is absolutely amazing!!! jazz pianists need to study a lot to play it!
I love how you didn't take the 'improvisation' and just take it as a chance to go to town. You really kept that street Jazz sound that Gershwin makes so Classy. You're calamity to not chase up and down the Piano like a lot of over confident players do, too. Keeping the steep octave changes for appropriate times.
Honestly, I feel this is up there with Summertime "remixes" in a sense. (along with Janis Joplin and Sublime (though they may not be your types of artists)).
I'm an experienced piano player and this is honestly some of best piano playing I have ever seen. well done. keep it up.
00:56 That switch to a major chord is pure bliss.
I want also to specify that I today after many years of Piano playing, I still learn new methods, techniques and harmonies of music.
You can put them all together : Satchmo, Ray, Ella....They hear your rain, dance the vals, and cry the blues.That´s the way George and Ira wanted to be.¨L´armonia delle tue improvvisazione é perfeta. Adeso vado al letto, e ancora te seguo sentendo. Dopo, grazie alla tua música, ho sogni d´oro. Grazie, Sei grande, Bravissimo !AlfonsoPorgy and Bess take a boat to NY. Perhaps instead, to Golfo di Surriento,come Caruso.
+John Roque Grazie! Auguri e Buone Feste!!
hands down you have the best rendition on this site. It's without spot or blemish.
I like how you put information about Gershwin in the description box in order to appreciate him!❤
Thank you!
that's a legit improvisation/11
I am reposting this comment as on the previous one I was logged on my google account. :) cityofsun88, here.
You are the best!!!! Summertime is by far my favorite Jazz song. I covered it in 2008, and you left a very nice compliment. Thanks!!!! Also, thank you for this beautiful masterpiece you are sharing with us. Cheers!
Thank you! It's much appreciated
I’d say you have the virtuosity of style. Incredible hand work
Великолепное исполнение,виртуозное гениального творения Гершвина..."Порги и Бесс" мое любимое ...
Thanks!
This is inspiring. It really is.
You and Mr. Gershwin are both geniuses.
Meraviglioso. Truly.
One of my favourite videos on the world-wide interwebs..!!11!
Beautiful!!! Nothing else can be said. I dont which was better the music or the piano hands?!! Loved it!!!!!
OMG... you are one outstanding pianist, im speechless.
However, to lern the piano it wants much time, patience and above all passion.
Naturally if you have much passion to play the piano, this very helps you to shorten the time who you have need in order to learn.
Your playing is so engaging at one point I actually felt giddy. It's not a feeling I get to experience very often at all. Thanks.
There are no words to discribe how
wonderful that sounds... You play
so beautifully.
Probably my favorite videos from you so far! I can see the rain and hear the thunder. Beautifully played - a real gem.
So beautiful!
I am glad that UA-cam put your video back!
3 WORDS A MAZ ING you are so super talented wow i can't even tell you how much I enjoyed this.
Raining in the summer is great!
Very fine playing, and like Gould you seem to be sitting on a chair, that too with handles !!!!
The sound was impeccable and it sounded like an alto with a raspy voice singing it. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks! :-)
Woahhhhh, this is clearly one of the first UA-cam videos
Yep! Almost :-)

Hehe, this one I sang twice, with mutonroshi and Claude Sirois, and here I sing it with you once more... great style you have, it is so challenging to sing with your music, it is so jazzy... hehe, I never sang jazzy... but it feels good to do (at this moment, hahaha)
some kind of awesome, i can't describe atm..
You are the best!!!! Summertime is by far my favorite Jazz song. I covered it in 2008, and you left a very nice compliment. Thanks!!!! Also, thank you for this beautiful masterpiece you are sharing with us. Cheers!

***** krásná verze ve Vaší improvizaci.......líbí se mi. Děkuji...
Thanks!
Beautiful all the way during this performance.
I wish to play the same way.
I Thanks for sharing this great video.
knock knock? whos there? YOU, and YOU"RE AWESOME! at piano
very very very nice.
masterpiece
This is so vibrant and flavoursome, the pauses only add to the epic urban feel of it. Parts of it make me think of the clarinet glissando from his Rhapsody in Blue.
Not to sound pompous, but I strongly believe that you would arrange Rhapsody in Blue beautifully. Upon listening to your other pieces, especially the gorgeous Midnight Round.
Very awesome, i could just sit there and watch you play all day =]
WOW!!!!! Just Speechless!!
thanks :)
Wonderful arrangement / improvisation! Warner took down my improvisation on Summertime too, but I didn't bother disputing it. Glad you got yours back up! :)
i have to play this at my piano recital and improvise on it. i'm very excited!
Im thinking of taking on piano, even though Im pritty ,,old'' for starting (23), and you sir have made me SURE that I want to play the piano ::)
Just like it a lot. Thanks for this piece.
this is far the best version i have ever heard. ;)
Still lovin' it :) And glad it's back on the net!
I really like your left hand movement , it's so fluid!! Great technique overall!! I like your arangements and voicings!!! Much Love from Curacao PianistaItaliano!
Excellent playing..sounded beautiful.
That is sexy piano playing. Really good improv. Love it.
beautiful rendition.........
awesome! beautifull!!!
Very nice improvisation! You have got talent!!!
I just close my eyes and dream. Magnificent. I think I'm on my 9th view so far!
Smooooth !
Thanks! :-)
MAGNIFICO
Wow, thats wonderful, I wish I could play this song like this
wooooooooooooooooooooooow
i loveeeee it
i coud wine cry
very impressive, you are truly a fantastic pianist
hey, he does it using a combination of various scales. It is a higher level improv than a beginner is quite ready for.
however the gist is that there is not one scale that one uses, rather it is the chord that determines which notes are base, interval or passing. So using a basic I IV V seventh progression as an example, instead of using the blues scale base I, one would vary the scale with each measure, or more precisely, each chord change.
Keep playing & it will come with time!
beautiful, awesome playing !
Beautiful ......
You are a PRO! ;)
Amazing. ..takes me away. Its like a dream. Aww I love it.
maybe one day i'll play half as good as you... houston tx loves you dude!!
that is incredibly impressive; oh how i wish i could play piano like that!
Now, even though that was insanely short, that's probably one of the best ways I've ever heard it put :P. Crazy good piano playing too! One of my absolute favourite songs! Keep it up! :)
i love your work man!
sorry about the summer
