Customer Reviews of Summertime
"This album introduced me to Paul Desmond". My father had the lp record of Paul Desmond's "Summertime" (and I own it, now). When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I remember seeing Paul Desmond's picture on the back of the album. I was quite drawn to his odd looks. I commented that he resembled Mr. Whipple of the 'Charmin' television ads. This was in the mid-1970's.
After my father's death, when I was around 18 years of age, I decided to listen to "Summertime" for the first time. From that moment onward, I was hooked on Paul Desmond's music.
Despite there are one or two tracks I don't care for, I love this album! "Summertime" has a relaxing, laid-back feel to it. My favorite tracks are "Struttin' With Some Barbecue", "Lady In Cement", the title track "Summertime", and, especially, "Autumn Leaves". This rendition of "Autumn Leaves" -- bossa nova style --is the most beautiful I've ever heard of the classic Johnny Mercer tune. I play it often. Also, Desmond's version of "Lady In Cement", based on the Frank Sinatra film of the late '60's, is stunning and adventurous. A crime drama easily comes to mind upon hearing it.
I'm very happy to see that "Summertime" is now available on cd, and will be ordering it soon! I hope that same picture of Paul Desmond in dark-colored clothing, and with his odd looks, will be on the back of the cd. It will serve as a reminder of my 'chance meeting' of him when I was a child. Paul Desmond was, indeed, the best!
VERY ENJOYABLE SOUND
VERY NICE RECORDING JOB ON THESE CUTS. WELL WORTH THE EXTRA $ FOR AN IMPORT CD. EVERY INSTRUMENT COMES THROUGH CLEARLY-SOFT OR LOUD. NICE MIX OF TUNES WITH DESMOND AT HIS FINEST. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANY UNSURE BUYERS. RELAX AND LISTEN TO AFTER A LONG HARD DAY AND YOUR STRESSES AND WORRIES WILL SOON BE GONE.
