Winslow asked if Larry Adler's Gershwin Tribute CD was showing up in any stores. About three months ago, a music critic in Manila received a copy to review (he didn't). I was surprised to find several copies on a sale table at the Taiwan Harmonica Competition 3 weeks ago. How odd for an harmonica album to show up here when it is so scarce in the US.
From the harp's point of view, the CD is a bit disappointing: Larry doesn't play very much (noodles here and there and maybe a chorus of solo), except for the Rhapsody in Blue, which is available on another CD. The focus of the album is on the singers, many of whom have never been heard singing such material. I was interested to hear the rock stars do such a good job with the material. I doubt, however, that I'll listen to the CD very often (I do, however, listen to his other CDs all the time).
