George Gershwin (September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937) was an American composer. He was born Jacob Gershowitz in Brooklyn, New York to Russian Jewish immigrant parents, the second of four children. George wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works together with his elder brother lyricist Ira Gershwin. Gershwin composed both for Broadway and for the classical concert hall. He also wrote popular songs with success. Perhaps most notably his epic works An American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue which has been featured on many classical music compilations, the animated Disney movie Fantasia 2000, and has been popularly revered as one of the greatest pieces of classical music of the 20th century.

stravinsky and gershwin are similar - they both composed in the same era. they aren't very similar in their music cause the 20th century music was all bout trying new things and doing things differently.

Jacob and Ira were brilliant. Just shows what good Russian Jewish boys can do if they put their mind to it. Well done Gershowitz Bros. Classical education. Education of life. And he had a good ear and a great imagination and he worked at producing masterpieces. Hey presto!

I love both Gershwin, and Stravinsky, but I still fail to see how Gershwin is similar to Stravinsky. There must be some way in which last.fm can improve upon their similar artist computing.
