Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Pure Gershwin was Michael Feinstein's first album, and it remains one of his best. It may not have the production values of his later Gershwin tributes, Nice Work if You Can Get It (1996) and Michael & George (1998), but it simply and directly presents Feinstein in his piano-bar days, singing to his own tasteful accompaniments with occasional contributions from bass and drums and a second piano. Establishing the patterns for his later albums, he sings unjustly neglected verses to familiar songs, uncovers some never-before-recorded gems ("The World Is Mine," "What Causes That"), and provides song-by-song notes. Longtime friend Rosemary Clooney guests on "Isn't It a Pity?" --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent!I absolutely love this album. It's been out for a while, but in my opinion it's one of the greatest albums of Gershwin music! Any Gershwin fan must own this album!! Rating: - Feinstein KNOWS GershwinThis is the second CD I have purchased, because I wore the first out. Feinstein lived with the aging Ira Gershwin - so he truly knows the style. I am not thrilled with the female vocalists used, but there again, they do fit the style of the 30s and 40s. Rating: - you cant beat an Ira lyric.this is good...and just to hear a REALLY GREAT "Isn't A Pity" duet with Rosie is well worth the price of admission. I REPEAT: just to hear a REALLY GREAT "Isn't A Pity" duet with Rosie is well worth the price of admission. listen & enjoy some great american music. you cant beat an Ira lyric. Rating: - A Wonderful CDPURE GERSHWIN is just that, pure!. Feinstein interprets Gershwin the way it was meant to be performed. This is pure delight! Rating:  - Quiet and elegantMichael Feinstein's thin voice is compensated by his apparent enthusiasm for the material and a spare arrangement of piano, bass, and drum that gives this recording the ambiance of an intimate piano bar. Before hearing this disc, I knew only Gershwin's biggest hits, so many of the numbers here were new to me and increase my appreciation of that great American composer.
