“It was on the train, with its steely rhythms, its rattle-ty bang, that is so often so stimulating to a composer.... I frequently hear music in the very heart of the noise. And there I suddenly heard - and even saw on paper - the complete construction of the rhapsody, from beginning to end.” - George Gershwin to biographer Isaac Goldberg, 1931

“Certainly this is not the blue[s] of a man born in New Orleans and raised among social conditions of Jim Crow squalor and poverty, musical conditions of two or three primitive chord changes; this is the blues of a man who has lived a little; who has seen the more sophisticated sides of like in midwestern and eastern cities, who adds to what he has known of hardship and discrimination the academic values that came with mind-broadening experience, in music schools and big bands and combos, in St. Louis and New York and Paris and Stockholm. This is the new, the deeper and broader blues of today” - Leonard Feather, 1958 (from the liner notes)
