"Summertime" is an #aria composed in 1934 by #GeorgeGershwin for the 1935 #opera #PorgyAndBess. The lyrics are by #DuBoseHeyward, the author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based, and #IraGershwin. The song soon became a popular and much-recorded #jazzStandard, described as "without doubt ... one of the finest songs the composer ever wrote ... Gershwin's highly evocative writing brilliantly mixes elements of jazz.
