Links

Three regular musicians of the spanish jazz scene such as the singer Sheila Blanco, the pianist Federico Lechner and the guitarist Israel Sandoval form this trio of voice, piano and guitar to pay tribute to the great composer George Gershwin, one of the cornerstones not only of the jazz music, but from the history of 20th century music.

Using improvisation and constant communication between the three of them to create lively and expressive music, the trio uses many of New York's great themes to enjoy and to leave their mark on.

Some of the songs performed are Summertime, I got rhythm, Nice work if you can get it, But not for me, I loves you Porgy, Someone to watch over me and some other inspired melodies and harmonies by Gershwin, most of them with lyrics by his also great brother Ira Gershwin.
