Wasn't sure if I should post this on Here Here, or Beginners, I thought this would be best.

I'm looking for input regarding this arrangement I'm working on (hope you recognize it, purposely leaving off the title ).
Too slow, too fast in the 2nd part (that was done on purpose, but wanted to see if it worked), etc. Any input would be great!

Thanks!!

I thought it was a touch slow - but it's a tune where you can get away with treating it as a slow ballad. I didn't think the second part was too fast.

The one change I'd make is in the eighth note part of the melody... swinging the eighths seemed a bit out of place.

Thanks for the input!! That swinging eights was supposed to be triplets LOL, so obviously it didn't work like that.

Great song, Joe.
I like the slower tempo. The song's sort of melancholy, so slow works for me.

Wow! Summertime! What a great song! One of my favorites! :mrgreen:

It sounds fine to me, too.

Somewhere over the rainbow - where did "Summertime" come from?

I thought the middle section could be played with a heck of a lot - sticking to tempo is a mistake there IMO, I'd swing the rhythm a little and slow it down a touch.

lol I thought it might be a joke. Thanks for the input Alan! I want to add some little improve runs in the middle and kind of liven it up.
