As a joke…
The distinctive glissando had been created quite by happenstance during rehearsals:
As a joke on Gershwin…. [Ross] Gorman [Whiteman’s virtuoso clarinetist] played the opening measure with a noticeable glissando, ‘stretching’ the notes out and adding what he considered a jazzy, humorous touch to the passage.
