LESSON SUMMARY
Have you ever noticed how no two recordings of a familiar jazz standard are exactly alike? That's because playing jazz standards is a fundamentally creative endeavor. To embrace jazz repertoire on piano, not only do you need to be able to play jazz-you must also be able to think jazz. In today's Quick Tip, Play Summertime on Piano, John Proulx shares his perspective on performing this classic song from the Great American Songbook with a fresh and exciting approach.
