The Columbia Album of George Gershwin is a two-disc album by the Percy Faith Orchestra, released by Columbia Records in 1958. The album features instrumental interpretations of classic works by George Gershwin in the jazz and easy listening genres.
The album is divided into two parts, covering the main stages of Gershwin's career—from early musicals to the opera Porgy and Bess and his film scores.
The album became part of Columbia's prestigious series dedicated to great American composers. Percy Faith's arrangements were praised for preserving the spirit of the originals while adding the signature string sound of his orchestra. Later, in 1959, Faith released a separate album devoted entirely to the opera Porgy and Bess, which reached number 17 on the Billboard charts.
