Thanks jamriding and Colin!
Colin, super! Great to know that for sure, at least I can stop hoping and start looking for permission through the publisher who owns the rights of this work.
Performance right was mentioned by both as a ?, my guess is that if there's money to be made from the concert you'd need something like a license and surely not free. But in my case it's not for concert use, it's for TV and DVD, so I'll have to go through the publisher.
I think Addinsell lived MUCH too long.... [[:D]]
This occurred to me, if 70 years is the time to wait after the composers death (in most countries) wouldn't this be the year where all Gershwin's music becomes public domain? He died in 1937, + 70years = 2007. [[:D]]
Can someone confirm this?
