2002 compilation Gershwin: An American in Paris; Porgy & Bess Suite; Gershwin in Hollywood
Cuban Overture (first titled Rumba) was George Gershwin's last attempt at a major serious orchestral success. He visited Havana in 1932 for relaxation and became very interested in the Cuban music, particularly the percussion. Gershwin was ahead of his time, the overture premiered a year or two ahead of the popularization of Cuban rhythms by Xavier Cugat.
