In the Summertime was a smash hit for Mungo jerry in 1970. For many years I eschewed it , thinking it to be just a frivolous pop song. That was until one day when a student wanted to play it.
Writing the melody out I came to realisation that it was actually a really Cool example of the Major Blues Scale on a basic 3 chord , no frills Blues.
In this video I would like to present a simple jazzy version in E, the original key with a written solo that exclusively features the notes of the Major blues scale relating to each chord.

My name is Nick Homes. I was, and still am a non genius musician who struggled for many years to find out the secrets of jazz improvisation. Throughout 40 years of playing, and obsessive investigation I have focussed on building systems of learning for my students so they can improve , and reach their learning goals with the highest probability.
