Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross - Summertime

This version of "Summertime" is a nice example of Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross performing their specialty: taking other musicians' jazz arrangements and adding (or in this case, restoring) words. The basis of this performance is of course yesterday's post, the Miles Davis/Gil Evans version of "Summertime" from 1958. It's interesting to listen to the two versions back to back and hear how well LH&R take lines written for a multitude of horns and transpose them for three voices.
