Simon Tedeschi (piano), with James Morrison, Sarah McKenzie, Queensland Symphony Orchestra

***

The best-selling albums from Simon Tedeschi, Gershwin and Me and Gershwin: Take Two, are brought together for the first time.

From Rhapsody in Blue to Embraceable You, pianist Simon Tedeschi captures the heart and soul of George Gershwin, with performances that are passionate, joyous, sophisticated and bursting with life.

With special guest appearances from jazz legend James Morrison on trumpet and ARIA Award winning singer Sarah McKenzie, this collection celebrates Gershwin’s extraordinary versatility and creativity, and his unfailing ability to delight.

In the words of harmonica virtuoso Larry Adler, who worked with Gershwin himself: ‘I just wish Gershwin were here... [Simon is] one of the finest exponents of his music I have ever seen.’
