Well people are always saying well Beethoven was romantic or classical and really he was both. He was the brige between both. With Gershwin I feel he is both "jazz" and classical. I mean he had a jazz background but he also had a classical background, and in his music you can find hints of both. It almost as if he merged them together in a very harmonious way. I mean listen to Porgy... so jazzy, yet it has its classical appeal, thats why people debate that as a musical or an opera.
Enough?
