It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: If you can find one

The Ravel G major PC was the composer's respone to jazz music he heard on an American tour in the late 1920's. Basically it's the French version of "Rhapsody in Blue" and Gershwin's own piano concerto in F.

My all time favorite performance captures the jazz elements in the writing perfectly, and the soloist stays quite on top of the notes despite demanding passagework in the finale. I speak of Bernstein's stereo remake with the "Columbia Symphony Orchestra"--I've never heard his first mono effort on Brunswick. In both cases, Lenny conducts from the keyboard.
