Anyone got 'Summertime' from Porgy and Bess? I've been trying to find the original soundtrack for ages. Found loads of covers, but not that one. How about the whole film soundtrack?? Maybe I'm pushing my luck a bit there ::)
funny i used to cover this one -thinking of recording it
couldn't find an original soundtrack from the 1959 movie-only later productions
Yeh, not sure if one even exists. Can you recommend a cover that's as close as poss?
rent the movie and rip it (i'm not sure if i ever seen or heard the original)

Youve got a MBR, here you go...own it.

I just did a search "Porgy and Bess"...and found a ton of stuff.
No offense but WTF? :D
Cheers Sprocket, Must have missed this. It's got a version by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong that's probably about the nearest I'll get. Wanted one with the twin vocals, got a vague idea what I want to do with it.
Watch this space-----------well, not THIS space, obviously, it'll be a different space, but, errrrr, you know what I mean :-\
Oh yeh, forgot to say. How do I download from that site?. Probably easy, but I'm feeling a bit dim tonight!!

You go through the stereo "line in" on your MicroBR with 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable to your computer(where your speakers are hooked up) and then just plug your computer speakers into the MBR as a set of monitors while you record the song you wanna use.
GuitarRon & SteveM, seriously? A blues song? I just heard the Gershwin, thinking "soundtrack"...maybe I will give the other versions a listen...which is the best version?
Ok, I can manage 'line in/out' ;D
Depends on the style you want. Try Janis Joplin for booze and cigs bluesy, I should think Miles Davis----Jazzy? Robbie Williams?? Haven't heard it yet! There's loads of versions.
Errrrr, Robbie----wrong Summertime :-[ But try Peter Gabriel!!!!

Couldnt find the Peter Gabriel version...but I get it now...its the same song Sublime and Will Smith sampled.

This is kinda what I love about the blues(not that Id call this blues) but I just love different versions of the same song, I can almost listen to them back to back and not grow tired of the same song..."Key To The Highway" for example.
This song kinda reminded/inspired me to look/dig a lil deeper into a song my buddy's band has been playing "Take Five"...Ive been listening to all the versions on Groovshark, and am really diggin the Chet Atkins version.
Thanks for posting bout this song...I feel like I learned something.
Here's a nice jazz version of Summertime by Lars Kongshem (http://www.kongshem.com/music/index.html).

It was recorded on a BR-532. Here are some details about the song from his website:
"Summertime" (2002) [time: 3:30]
• This is my cover of the jazz standard by George Gershwin, updated with an acid jazz groove.
• Arranged, performed, and engineered by Lars Kongshem, 2002.
• Electric guitar: Gibson Les Paul Custom, 1970 vintage.
• Drum programming and amp modeling: Boss BR-532.
• Bass: Electric guitar played through bass emulator.
Didn't expect this one to go to 2 pages ;)
Thanks 64G, I obviously didn't look hard enough :D
I'd love to do something with this, maybe I will soon.
Hey Sprocket, I'm the same with some stuff. One melody, one set of words, so many different sounds and feelings!!
That's just one of the things I love about this place, you hear something and think about it differently maybe, or if it's something we haven't heard before???----we all learn something new all the time.
I would have put 'quote' bits in here somewhere but still haven't worked out how to do it properly :-[
