About This Song
About "Summertime" by The New York Allstars
Summertime, but not as a lullaby—here it's a hot-house jam, brass and keys simmering in London's humid night. The Allstars stretch the standard into a sweaty, joyful strut. The tension lies in the contrast: the song's inherent languor against the band's restless, propulsive energy.
