Hailed by the BBC as “THE Gershwin pianist of our time” at his Proms debut at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1995, JACK GIBBONS has built an enviable reputation as one of the world’s greatest exponents of the music of GERSHWIN. In this, the second of his two Gershwin programmes this summer, Gibbons plays his spectacular transcription of Gershwin’s original Suite from Porgy and Bess alongside the iconic Rhapsody in Blue and Gibbons’ acclaimed recreations of Gershwin's original show-tune improvisations.

Gibbons incarnates an uncanny representation of Gershwin's piano style that hasn't been heard since the glory days of Oscar Levant.VILLAGE VOICE (New York)
This is music that requires verve, nerve, and Gibbons' enviable capacity to generate party atmosphere.YORKSHIRE POST
