Swanee is a
popular song written by
George Gershwin in 1919,
most often associated
with the singer Al
Jolson. Supposedly
written in 10 minutes, it
is partly a parody of
Stephen Foster's Old
Folks at Home. Once
Jolson added it to his
show Sinbad the song took
off and became a hit, the
biggest of Gershwin's
career.
Dave Machell,
a top UK arranger and
composer has cleverly
arranged this 4-minute
brass quintet work for
advanced performers.
