Grofe - Metropolis: A Blue Fantasy (1928)
Description on Youtube:
Here we have a very interesting work. An extended tone poem for orchestra, piano, and male trio, Grofe attempts to encapsulate the feeling of New York in the 20s. Some critics have said that the piece wanders, and isn't sure what it wants to be. Maybe. It certainly isn't as well organized as Rhapsody in Blue, but it is never the less a splendid bit of symphonic jazz. Orchestra: The Beau Hunks
