Fact #1469
When:
Short story:
Composer George Gershwin is surprised to read in the New York Tribune
that, according to bandleader Paul Whiteman, he is
composing a jazz concerto for a special concert at the Aeolian
Hall, New York City, USA. Whiteman had neglected to inform
Gershwin about the concert or about his contribution to it. [He
will, in the event, compose Rhapsody In Blue for the concert].
