Michael Feinstein, Singer, pianist and founder of the American Songbook Foundation (6th October 2015)

“This performer is, more than any other contemporary artist, closer in his style and interpretations to those of Gershwin himself. A 21st-Century Oscar Levant.”                                                                                              K.J. McElrath, Curator “George Gershwin” Facebook Page (October 2020)
