Thanks for that! Grosvenor is one of the great artists of his generation, no doubt!

Belongs in the Pub. My views on Gershwin as a classical composer are by now well known, or should be. The crossover mistake of all time.

. The crossover mistake of all time.

I think you will be interested to know the late Sergio Fiorentino ( whom I consider one of the great pianists of all time ) agrees with you. His Gershwin comments and playing start about half way into this YT, but I think you will want to start at the YT beginning with Fiorentino's comments about , playing examples from, some famous jazz pianists.
