Uri Caine recorded his version a few years ago (which I haven't heard yet). Willem Breuker did a Gershwin project in the 80s, some of it is on youtube.

Nice work on the piano there, George!

Who will be the first to sample this now that it's in the public domain?

is it the composition that's in the public domain or the first recording?

The composition. So I guess that would still restrict sampling of recordings. But someone could freely perform or interpolate it (a la "My Favorite Things" for Ariana Grande's "7 Rings") without permission.

I was listening to La Creation du Monde by Darius Milhaud the other day and it's basically Rhapsody in Blue except made a few years earlier. You can really see the Milhaud influences on Gershwin with that one.

Haven't sampled or remixed it exactly, but this mix is intended to work as an expansion of Rhapsody In Blue

(Sorry if this is excessive spamming of my mixes, I only do one a month, if that's any consolation)

Yikes, both things are new to me, despite having just spent a day reading about RiB. Will have to update my show notes.
Listening to La Creation do Monde now, can hear the similarities, think "basically the same" is overselling it a little though. Is there a particular arrangement / performance I should be checking out?

Copland's beautiful Piano Sonata is worth checking out too, similar in tonality and maybe in construction too.
