Chords for Larry Adler plays Summertime in three arrangements

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ To me, Gershwin writes a singing kind of melody, a very vocal kind of melody.
_ [Em] And when I play, I try, I'm not consciously trying, but I'm aiming to get as near to the
human voice as [D] I can.
And Gershwin has a beautiful [E] melodic vocal line in everything he writes, even in his
classical works like the Piano Concerto [G] or the Rhapsody in Blue, it's still a very singing
_ line.
Jerome Kern, the same way, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, whenever I play them, I can almost
hear the words of their songs while I'm playing.
_ And that's what I'm trying to [D] get to, as near as possible, the sound of a singer.
