Does anyone know about the Dupree arrangement of An American in Paris? Where is it available?
Many Thanks

to best of my knowledge it is privately held by the pianist/composer - arranger. I don't believe it has been published yet. The only recording I know of is by the pianist/arranger himself, and the OCLC Online Computer Library Center doesn't register any entries (and they are usually good about anything that's been published even if super old/rare).
You can inquire w him directly, or someone on his staff in case they have any update on if it will ever be released, and if so, do they have a date.\

if you're after a really nice one, i have most/all of Maurice Whitney's concert paraphrases on a bunch of works including a lot of Gershwin, including An American in Paris, its a really good solo, you might look for that one (out of print to my knowledge) in used book stores, etc., took me a while to get my copy, but was totally worth it. I am still without the one by William Daly (i have  the 4hands one by Gregory Stone too).
