Interesting! Pretty rad.
I think it is pretty radical, yes. Actually, the melody can be fit into those changes, for a complete reharmonization...but the MJQ plays the melody with a much simpler (classically tinged) harmony, then for improvising, uses the "cool changes to improvise on summertime." Even that is kind of radical----a different set of blowing changes than those used for the melody. I hope you enjoy!
Summertime (DuBose Haward) - George Gershwin
Summertime (alternativ)
I took two from the forums(fixed an error in one) and added a third version.
1)submitted by Plexynote is a simplified version compared to the original in the 1200 sticky.

2) submitted by Planeforte88 has the Modern Jazz Quartet changes. (Coltrane like)
Summertime very slow
3) submitted by by Bobsax is a very slow version similar to the original Gershwin changes.
--Be sure to get the F# in the A-6 and the G# in the B-6.
Thanks for this, Bobsax, this is really cool!!! I always like to compare versions to learn, and this was very interesting - thanks for taking the time for doing this, and for sharing.
A tech-note: remember you can use "Small" and "Normal"-sized chords in your charts! ;-)
Live freely. Respect the planet.
