Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Your band will love this medium-up tempo (mm=144) chart based on the changes of Summertime. A driving bass line supports the melody, played by altos and trumpet. Solo changes are included for alto, tenor, trumpet, and trombone, and can be opened up to feature any other soloist. A strong (but very playable) shout chorus follows. Ranges: trumpet 1 mostly G (one A), trombone 1 to F. Notated piano voicings and bass lines are provided, along with chord symbols.
