Summertime

Set in a distinctive medium swing/shuffle groove, Michael Sweeney's version for younger jazz bands presents a contemporary styling of this classic song from "Porgy and Bess." Mixing a variety of ensemble textures, a stop time solo section, and briefly slipping into a new key during the final chorus, this is sure to be a standout for festival or casual concert use. Suggested solos are included for tenor sax and trumpet and chord/scale sheets in all keys are available. Highly recommended!
