ars gratia artis

Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue has long been one of my favorite works of music.

I was therefore nothing short of euphoric when it was used in Fantasia 2 a few years back. Well, OK, 9 years back! Anyway, I adore the way they handled it. It is very Al Hirschfeld, very mid-century, and pretty much embodies so many things I love.
