It's all Gershwin. It's all instrumental. It's
all acoustic. With "By George" virtuoso mandolinist Don Stiernberg
and stellar guitarist John Carlini show what those instruments can do in
the right hands.
Don and John initially set forth George's melodies as written, then engage in
playful improvisation while being ever respectful of the musical integrity built
into the original manuscripts. Their renditions are modern, yet with an eye toward
a time when Gershwinesque chordal excursions were new.
