The title and most of the comments seem to give all the credit for this fine recording to Norah Jones. But the piano is played by the great Marian Mc Partland. She deserves equal credit.
Oh no, some comment just revealed .. Nora is not actually the pianist here!? It's arian McPartland.. the great radio show host, whom we revered. So I admire Ms Jones way less for allowing the her publst or record company to alter the picture here to lead us her fans, to think she can really play ...like never before. So sad
Let's be honest. Her talent is that she CAN sing such a great classic and NOT sound like its a remake or a cover. No matter who did it before she puts her own unique talent to work. I know great music and she moves me every time. Norah is way under-appreciated.
Definitely. This is much better than Lana Del Ray's version ....which I feel is too slow. But Norah's version is just right tempo wise, and that piano playing is exquisite, and so classy. Norah could easily be a Jazz singer and pianist.
I just recently caught on to her. Definitely the more I hear the more I like. Then consider her father was one of the greatest musicians ever. A real original.
Dear Ms Jones: Mr. Gershwin has to be really proud of your version. No doubt about it. What a gift! This is a treasure, a jewel hidden for me… until now. I have opened my gift today! You triggered me. You are my friend now or I hope so if you permit me that. You are playing the promise to get our world something better. No barriers for good feelings… inner feelings on the depth of our hearts. That is been a prayer for everyone being a better human being. Congratulations for your lesson of love trough music. I know that you know that God blessed Mr. Gershwin before of your touching performance. May God bless you… or maybe you are blessed already. Thank you so much.
I think she sounds very beautiful and makes one comfortable. Because I am not single so don't know why you said she sounds no one else like her could you tell me where is she distinctive voice?
It's true. I'm 16 and when I heard her beautiful voice I could appreciate even more this kind of music that I already love. Thank you Norah, for your performances!
Norah will still be talked about in 50 years time. Her voice will last until the sun implodes in 60-70 million years. When the human race is long gone the dominant life form on earth is...something else. They will find her music, and they will hear her voice, and it will be SHE who they are entranced by. Not anyone else in the history of music will it be other than she. There is a timbre to her voice, something within it that sets her apart from anyone else.
I sing Summertime almost daily, several times a day. This interpretation has left me speechless, I simply love it, WOW, I sing it as a lullaby, no excitement, hey, what kid, is gonna sleep to this? When I sing JAZZY stuff to my grandson, WE DANCE!!!!
I cannot say I know a great deal about music, but I remember the very first time I saw this lady walk onto a music video I was looking at - that just came on - I saw, heard and remarked in my own head, "Wow! That little girl has such a command of what she is doing; I've not ever seen anything like it!" I am still in 2013, amazed at how gracious and how humble she seems to be with her incredible knowledge and abilities in music. Sad we didn't have the video.
Love this. No one has a voice quite like Norah Jones. No one can deny that, even the Joplin purists who will say the original is best. Yes, it is for some reasons, yet lets be honest few today or in bygone years has a voice as beautiful as this woman.
The excellent accompaniment on piano, is an extraordinary English jazz pianist and composer Ms. Margaret Marian Turner (McPartland), (20 March 1918 - 20 August 2013), R.I.P.
My god the amount of renditions for this piece is astounding. It leaves no doubt in my mind that the father of American pop music is and will always be Mr. George Gershwin RIP :)
Great version! Amazing, that there are still today young musicians that know songs like this - and are good enough to make GOOD versions. Brings this music to the young fans. Well done, Norah!
Charles Badgley Here is the perfect song. Russian girl Dina Garipova-summertime sings .. listen, you won’t regret it ..czcams.com/video/GpCvsHCP1ZE/video.html
My late wife loved listening to you at night. It helped take the pain away for awhile, thank you for all you do.
Hope it helps with your pain Jim.

I hear 2 pianos.
@@jhersk Yeah, I play piano, and I just don't see any way humanly possible to play all that with just two hands and one take.
Yea they made it look like Norah was playing.
Let's be honest. Her talent is that she CAN sing such a great classic and NOT sound like its a remake or a cover. No matter who did it before she puts her own unique talent to work. I know great music and she moves me every time. Norah is way under-appreciated.
She DEFINETLY makes it her own!
Definitely. This is much better than Lana Del Ray's version ....which I feel is too slow. But Norah's version is just right tempo wise, and that piano playing is exquisite, and so classy. Norah could easily be a Jazz singer and pianist.
You don’t know how appreciative we are.
I hear Janis Joplin as well!! So many beautiful people have given us this beautiful song.
The fact that NORAH makes everything she plays and sings her own is what makes her so great..
I have an Old Soul. Her music fills my soul tremendously. Anyone else feel this way? Awesome!
Denise - you call it old soul but perhaps its a soul never getting old :) Awesome it is I agree. Beautiful - time stands still listening to this
@ will wahl
Oh woah!
Never thought about it that way!
🤯
We listened to Marian's radio show for years - "Piano Jazz" I think. A treasure.
beautiful. I love jazz and I love Norah Jones and I love Marian McPartland
A beautiful rendition of Summertime. ❤
Marian wil always remain a classic, a great jazz pianist, I could listen to Nora Jones all day long and often do while I’m throwing pottery!
I just recently caught on to her. Definitely the more I hear the more I like. Then consider her father was one of the greatest musicians ever. A real original.
Norah voice is so smooth and great..
That's some quality right there!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent well done young lady ....talent plus what a gift Thank-you for sharing your beauty with all willing to listen,,
What a good voice ! What a good piano version !!! Thanks !!!

So beautiful.💕
What I love about Norah, aside from her physical beauty, is her distinctive voice. She sounds like no one else and nobody sounds like her.
So true
I think she sounds very beautiful and makes one comfortable. Because I am not single so don't know why you said she sounds no one else like her could you tell me where is she distinctive voice?
comme pour chaque voix ! qui est unique !
@@kinedwin5290 Distinctive because it is intantly recognizable as "her" voice with the first notes your hear, distinctively Norah.
She sounds a little like Billie Holliday
beautiful piano solo, LOVE IT!
Wow...What a COVER...Norah Jones - Class
beautiful piano playing and great voice, love this song
There’s so much love and peace just listening to u sing ,in my heart
Hello fellow sri lankan!
Wow! Norah has a country side AND a jazz side. AWESOME cover.
I love this version! She is incredible!
Beautiful, effortless and always special admiration for those who can sing and play at the same time.
"Summertime" ~ so profound ... so prophetic ... so soothing !! ⚘🌻💕

Classy Lady, with an outstanding voice and style. Love it !!
Norah Jones is the queen of all the classic songs perform. Correct notes, correct way... Thanks God he gave you us Norah❤️
It's true. I'm 16 and when I heard her beautiful voice I could appreciate even more this kind of music that I already love. Thank you Norah, for your performances!
She is Ravi Shankar's daughter

Such a soothing voice. Love it.
Wow. now this damn good. Best rendition I've ever heard. Talented young woman indeed. Love it Norah
Very refreshing bluesy version of this classic. Rest In Peace, Marian, you will be greatly missed!
Effective and beautiful playing and singing!
There’s so much love and peace just listening to u sing ,in my heart
I sing Summertime almost daily, several times a day. This interpretation has left me speechless, I simply love it, WOW, I sing it as a lullaby, no excitement, hey, what kid, is gonna sleep to this? When I sing JAZZY stuff to my grandson, WE DANCE!!!!
Her phrasing is all her own..and makes every song she sings..her own as well….and I can say the same for her piano…
What a nice jazzy version of this tune. Love Norah always!!!
We are routinely introduced to this beautiful version here. We were very comfortable with that. Great. 4:05
Classic song. She does it justice. Beautiful cover.
“Summertime” may be the perfect song.
Thanks. One of the best modern day jazz singers AND THE PIANO WORK IS FANTASTIC.
Nora Jones cannot sing.
Yeah ehhhh....
To fine Pianists here, 'Marian McPartland' & 'Norah Jones' !!
FRENCH BLUE I'm italian escuse for my English But I seem that you have some problems with ears !
Ron Andresen
Love this performance of her singing a beautiful version of summertime just marvelous
Soooo in love with Norah's voice it makes my heart melt
Norah is truly amazing. McPartland goes back halfway to forever in the jazz world. This version also echoes Doc Watson's bluegrass version.
This is so good
Love this song...a classic...Norahs' take on it is unique, just like Norah, a classy lady with so such talent...🌹🌹🌹
I love her and her voice. Great cover :)
An absolutely superb presentation of the famous song by Norah Jones.
Fabulous. Great talent and easy listening. Lounge music to perfection
Great voice, great talent, in fact out of the ordinary talent....love her rendition of Summertime, in fact one of the best I've heard.
absolutely loved it!💗
A great Norah Jones ! I dig your music ! So unique !

I've been searching for this version for ever... awesome
It doesn't get much better than this, my treasured Son's favourite.
You should get Darci Lynn's Petunia rendition.
Love this. No one has a voice quite like Norah Jones. No one can deny that, even the Joplin purists who will say the original is best. Yes, it is for some reasons, yet lets be honest few today or in bygone years has a voice as beautiful as this woman.
Ella is in heaven dancing to this version.
Fantsstic, great music and what a sound that is.
wonderful, it has a light that transcends the voice, shivers
Absolutely lovely. So easy swInging, so groovy, like walking on the clouds...
Amazing version!
Just beautiful
I've heard some good, some not so good...and some great versions of this classic. This is one of those great ones.
Fabulous
Very good Dick!
How about the Walker Brothers version... any takers?
pour vous ! for jou !!

Had to be someone special - I was blown away by these chords!
1ElCondor Summertime Anna moffo
These are pretty much the chords as described by Gershwin orchestrally and printed in the 'real book'@@auursigurkarlsdottir6114
@@FrancisMaxino Gershwin was a genius before his time--and left us much too soon.
The images got me thinking Norah was playing and I was "WHAT". Some of those intermediate chords were just... damn.
Such a wonderful song and your rendition of it is amazing. Thank you..Karen Rae
Reminds me of growing up in the city in the summer ! Miss the youth , miss the big city ! Thank you for the song .
First time I've heard this version. Fantastic! Thanks for posting it.
LOVE Nora Jones so much!
Excelente solo. Venido de una virtuosa, no podía ser menos. Summertime, es para oídos privilegiados...!
Encantadora versión!!! Muchas gracias.
The best performance by far.
Norah Jones is my favourite
Toda LINDA! Canta demais, e ainda toca um piano irretocavel! Nota 1.000!
Norah, o voce si o muzică din altă lume! Muzica ei este fabuloasă
Holy crap,... one of the best ever
I love the style and her voice :-)
I love Norah Jones and her voice I would love to hear more new music from her.
Great piano and lovely singing!
SUPERB....! Thank you for this super share.
so smoooooooooooothe...
"Like a fine summer wine that's divine, all the time."
It's not a fine wine divine time unless it rhymes.

Heard this song in a coffee shop. Really love her music and voice.
such a great version!!
Love this song
My god the amount of renditions for this piece is astounding. It leaves no doubt in my mind that the father of American pop music is and will always be Mr. George Gershwin RIP :)
whenthereapercomes very true......when a blues singer like Miss Norah comes along, just like fine wine, it gets better & better, with time.....🍷💫🕊
About Gershwin yes you are definitely right
This is a perfect jazz rendition of the best modern aria ever. Sooooo cool.
George Gershwin composed this in the 1930s for an opera.
Gershwin + Norah Jones
💞🕺💃
Magnifique!!
Fantastic song and its execution!!
Елена Корабко G summartine ella Fitzgerald luis amstrom
Great version! Amazing, that there are still today young musicians that know songs like this - and are good enough to make GOOD versions. Brings this music to the young fans. Well done, Norah!
This is by far my favorite tempo for this tune.
Drinking whiskey and listening to Norah Jones on a weeknight might be the appitomy of human advancement.
Norah is incredible, and best when she sings jazz!
Charles Badgley Here is the perfect song. Russian girl Dina Garipova-summertime sings .. listen, you won’t regret it ..czcams.com/video/GpCvsHCP1ZE/video.html
