George Gershwin, arr. Sy Oliver - Fascinating Rhythm The John Wilson Orchestra John Wilson, conductor Extract from BBC Proms, 13 August 2016, "Gershwin Gala with The John Wilson Orchestra"
The great John Wilson and his magnificent orchestra and chorus are the ne plus ultra. Had the life-affirming pleasure of seeing and hearing them live at Royce Hall in Los Angeles. Just brilliant.
Interesting to hear that Sy Oliver incorporated Rhapsody in Blueish elements into his trademark arranging style that big band buffs know so well from his charts for Dorsey of Opus 1, Swing High, Well Git It, Hallelujah etc.
