Avec ses comédies musicales, ses pièces de concert et son opéra Porgy & Bess, George Gershwin contribue, dès les années 1920, à l’élaboration du grand roman musical américain. Preuve de son immense talent, sa musique ne connaîtra jamais le purgatoire après sa mort précoce en 1937, à l’âge de 39 ans. Si ses pièces de concert sont toujours données par les solistes et les orchestres de musique classique, ce sont bien les artistes du monde du jazz qui défendent le mieux son art.

As early as the 1920s, the musicals, concert pieces and the opera Porgy & Bess composed by George Gershwin contributed to the making of the Great American Songbook. The proof of Gershwin’s immense talent is in the fact that his music never went into purgatory after his premature death in 1937 at the age of 39. While his concert pieces are still performed by soloists and formations from the world of classical music, those who best defend the art of Gershwin remain the artists and musicians of the jazz world.
