🎹 RHAPSODY IN BLUE

February 12, 1924 — Aeolian Hall, New York City.

A young George Gershwin sits at the piano. The room holds its breath. Then: a clarinet glissando that slides like silk into the American consciousness.

What follows is a collision — classical precision meeting jazz improvisation, the concert hall dancing with the speakeasy. A musical love letter to a city that never sleeps, written in blue notes and skyscraper rhythms.

Paul Whiteman called it An Experiment in Modern Music. History called it the sound of a new century finding its voice.

One hundred and two years later, those opening bars still shimmer. Still surprise. Still sound like the future.

Today I learned another reason to love the city of #Boston. Did you know feisty #mayor Michelle Wu is also an accomplished pianist? Jaw drop.
