Milestones Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'd be interested to hear some tiles of jazz pieces involving summer. Of course, most of these would be popular songs intepreted by jazz artists. For instance, I have countless versions of "Summertime." There would also be these: Summer Night The Summer Knows Summer Song (Brubeck) Summer Day (Metheny/Medhladau) Once Upon a Summertime The Longest Summer (Metheny) Hothouse The Heat's On When Summer Comes (Oscar Peterson) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aparxa Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day Comes the summer, you can hide behind the door The song is old, The summer days are through Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops When the summer shower is through Evening summer breeze Sweet warblings of the meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day. But in your arms I melt away Like ice cream on a summer's day Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon That's for Billie, I guess the number of quotes would quadruple with Sinatra. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22frank+sinatra%22+summer+site:genius.com&ei=Co3iXtCjApGKaoLhmLgO&start=0&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjQ0NmkxvrpAhURhRoKHYIwBuc4FBDy0wN6BAgLEDA&biw=1920&bih=930 Edited June 11, 2020 by aparxa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
