Gershwin Plays Gershwin - The Piano Rolls was a recent $1 estate sale purchase. It was a pleasure to hear and brought to mind two other piano cd's I had, Moonlight Cocktail by Willie "The Lion" Smith and Complete Capitol Recordings of Art Tatum (Vol. 1). Here's a brief and breezy summer evening listen with three pieces from each. (Playlist in Comments)
