Tommy Dorsey Plays “Summertime”

Posted almost 3 years ago



This alternative lullaby and lament was originally written in 1935 for George Gershwin's ultimate composition, his opera "Porgy and Bess." Finegan writes a chart that makes its own independent statement with Tommy Dorsey playing and elegant solo that weaves in and out in the complex fabric of the arrangement. Charlie Shavers plays a stinging muted trumpet part that is as steamy as it can possibly be without dissolving into a puddle of nothingness.
