"Being a flutist and having listened to many recordings by J.P. Rampal, I must confess my admiration for him and for the way he played. Apart from being an excellent performer in the classical field (with more than 300 recordings), he showed many times that he could take up other styles with great success (for example in Bolling's suite for flute and jazz piano trio and in Scott Joplin's rags). In this case, we have some very interesting arrangements from famous pieces by George Gershwin. Although some people might prefer the original version for some of them (like An American in Paris), I think that this CD is very worth considering. A great tribute to one of the best composers of the XX century. Enjoy!"
