🎉 Happy 124th birthday Gershwin! I just love the tune of this song, "Bess, You is My Woman Now", here in the wonderful transcription by Jascha Heifetz. Did you know that Heifetz wanted Gershwin to write a violin concerto for him? That would have been amazing. Sadly Gershwin died (at the age of only 38) before the project could be realized.Full Gershwin performance with Ohad Ben-Ari now on YouTube! Click to watch: youtu.be/-Zu03ubzkdg ... See MoreSee Less
