Product Description:

Like a dip in a lazy river or a ride on a backyard tire-swing, Summertime gently evokes the beauty and majesty of a hot summer day. The haunting lullaby from the beloved folk opera Porgy and Bess -- perhaps the best known of George Gershwin's work -- resonates in Mike Wimmer's lush, epic oil paintings of plantation life and a southern family. As a bonus, the score of "Summertime" is included.
