SCOTSMAN "The question is: does Gershwin need re-imagining, even if it is by a musician who could be argued to be his peer in popular songwriting? Brian Wilson's answer is to cover Gershwin's best loved songs in his musical image and smother them in his trademark dreamy cascade of tenor harmonies and easy listening arrangements, were implemented with precision by his supremely talented nine-piece band, plus string quintet."
