RE: Recordings of Rhapsody in Blue

I have a couple versions on 78's both with Gershwin playing the piano part. The 1924 recording with Ross Gorman is my favorite. He begins the gliss before the break. And the rest of the orchestra sounds much better than modern orchestras. Less symphonic and more jazzy like it should be. Although it's a shame they had to reduce it to about 9 minutes. Would have loved to been alive back then to hear the whole thing.
