 Rhapsody in blue

I know you'll think I've posted this on the wrong board, from the title, but bear with me.
I've recently performed this work and one of the other players was suggesting that, since Gershwin came from a European Jewish tradition and worked in New York in the world of theatre, the style of writing (particularly for the clarinet) owes as much to Klezmer as to the jazz medium. His compositions have been adopted by the jazz world in a big way but that was not the world he grew up in.
Thoughts?
