      ChatGPT: can you make this article into everyday english? "As jazz spread to Europe, classical composers were drawn to it, bu the improvisational nature of this new type of music was not a natural match for the carefully notated and rehearsed world of the concert hall. In the United States, George Gershwin managed to bridge the gap and incorporate jazz on an orchestral scale with Rhapsody in Blue. Others followed, including composers who have tried to achieve the seemingly impossible by melding composed and improvisational music."
