Already in his last album the released and That Lucky Old Sun Ltd (CD + DVD) Brian Wilson used a title of Haven Gillespie usd Beasley Smith and transformed the found primitive material in his own world of sound. The fact that this reinterpretation of musical interest it -For was by no means a mere Adaption- and not from the absence of his own compositions consciously the central motif of this last album was Wilson, perhaps liked Todd Gershwin, the great-nephew George Gershwin, who persuaded Wilson to complete of unpublished, unfinished compositions of his great-uncle (70 titles was first mentioned!) to win. Despite this auspicious announcement of this album delivers more than what is already known by the Gershwin brothers new. It is more of a '' Best Of '"supplemented by two new titles. The sensation of an album with only unreleased material from remains so. On the other hand succeeds Wilson to frame his own personal favorite pieces with the two acapella versions of Rhapsody in Blue so that it creates once again a concept album in Wilsonian style. Perhaps that makes the careful selection of unpublished material in combination with the well-known classics from the size of the album. Wilson's approach to this project by the self-imposed strict standards and selects only the best from the good. And the best part was just now published. All the more impressive is the end that the two new Gershwin compositions able to stand without quality waste besides the eternal classics. And if you do not know, "The Like in I Love You" could equal a picture puzzle, be composed also of Wilson. Sung '"I Loves You Porgy'" by Nina Simone, can of Brian Wilson by far vocally can not be achieved, even though Brian has developed and freed, his voice sounds better than ever, you miss the warmth of this former interpretation. Brian Wilson like the deficit but through his sensitive and complex arrangements, the playful and virtuosic use of vocals, strings and percussion over from. His interpretations appear light and lively, seem almost to float and thus succeeds finally has to break the ice. BW, interprets the templates with the necessary respect, he leaves it to finally be taking with a wink to let short even Chuck Berry and Phil Spector look past and to do with George announced before weiterswingt left when the two would never been there.
That which can be heard here, is extremely suggestively arranged music in absolute perfection in a world premiere of two compositions unexpectedly resurrected Gershwin, brilliantly complemented by an equally unexpectedly risen Brian Wilson.
