To mark the centennial of the premiere of Gershwin’s *Rhapsody in Blue* in 2024, Paul Lay explores the many facets of this groundbreaking work. By combining the orchestra with his jazz trio, he offers his own interpretation of the 1942 version.

“Paul Lay presents *Rhapsody in Blue* in a version for solo piano, a highly original arrangement that takes us on a roller-coaster ride through familiar themes, virtuoso piano playing, and a foray into free piano improvisation.”
