Rhapsody in blue isn’t cheap to play on any media , but of course jack okayed it for his retirement opus video .. some poor nd donor paid for the 20 seconds … jack sure used all of it
Looks like Sawabuck jumped on it:
"George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” which he wrote and debuted in 1924, was a daring melding of jazz with classical music. In the years since, the lush, vibrant composition has become an instantly recognizable classic of American music.
And since New Year’s Day, it has belonged to everyone. For the first time in 96 years, it may be performed or recorded for free, without special permission or other requirements, by any community group that wants to, or by any orchestra, or by any aspiring piano player who simply wants to post a version on YouTube. Filmmakers can use it too, and, yes, every advertising company."
