RHYTHM: THE MUSIC OF GEORGE GERSHWIN"

the greatest songs of George Gershwin, including
such favorites as "Embraceable You," "I Got
Rhythm," Love Is Here To Stay," "Porgy and Bess,"
plus exciting discoveries from the Gershwin
Archives
Best of the Best. I don't usually name a single
performer as "the best" in these lists because
it's far too subjective and might result in hurt
feelings. That being said, how about that
Frederick Hodges? His amazing keyboard dexterity
is well-known, but his mere presence at an event
serves to elevate it to new levels of wit, style,
class and professionalism. Frederick was all over
the West Coast Ragtime Festival, performing solo,
in duets with Adam Swanson and Alex Hassan, with
the Crown Syncopators, singing, accompanying other
singers, emceeing the Youth Concert, presenting
the master class, and accompanying silent movies —
all of this pus the ironically arch syntax, the
straight über-blonde hair, and dapper wardrobe.
Extraordinary.
