Summertime

Il Trovatore

Did Django ever do a version of Summertime?

I don't see Summertime in the Integrales collection. That doesn't mean he never performed or recorded it, but it wouldn't appear to be an important part of his repertoire.

Paul Vernon's book "Jean 'Django' Reinhardt: A Contextual Bio-Discography" has a complete list of recordings by Django. You can check out the book here at Google Books. Then select "Index of Recorded Songs". Page 361 has the S's, and Summertime isn't on the list.

Hope this helps.

Robin Nolan has a cool latin version of Summertime in his 3rd play along book/CD.

we were jamming this last night at the hot club of Glasgow, but couldn't decide between E min and A min - what's the usual GJ-Summertime key ??
