This piece was orchestrated by the composer of the Grand Canyon Suite, Ferde Grofé. After this work's distinctive solo opening, which was improvised by Ross Gorman, a trumpet theme enters. This piece's composer played piano when it premiered at the Aeolian Hall during the "Experiment in Modern Music" concert. This "musical kaleidoscope of America," which was written for Paul Whiteman's band, opens with a trill followed by a seventeen-note clarinet glissando. For 10 points, name this George Gershwin work for piano and jazz band.
This piece was orchestrated by the composer of the Grand Canyon Suite, Ferde Grofé.
