  • A hundred years after his birth, George Gershwin remains an elusive figure. The composer of Fascinatin' Rhythm, Lady Be Good, Someone to Watch Over Me, and The Man I Love defined the jazz age and the art of American popular song. But Rhapsody in Blue, Concerto in F, An American in Paris, and Porgy and Bess made him America's most popular composer of concert music too. His premature death at 38 left his music and his personal development a work in progress. Critics and biographers have been confounded ever since. Broadcaster Eitan Cornfield sets out in search of the real George Gershwin.
