The song "Summertime" was written by George Gershwin and later covered by Herbie Mann. Then that version was sampled by Sublime and renamed "Doin' Time" to create a loose cover of the original. Wyclef Jean then did a remix of the Sublime version.

Difficult to say, because there are a huge number of covers of this song. 1) "A famous lullaby is "Summertime" from the Porgy and Bess musical of 1935. Sometimes it is also referred to as the Gershwin Lullaby. Although many of the jazz improvizations of this song have "wild chromaticism", the original is quite soothing, and somewhat slow and melancholy, in natural minor. Gershwin was actually inspired to write the song after hearing a Ukrainian lullaby, Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon (A Dream Passes by the Window) in 1926. The recurring gentle rocking back and forth between A-minor 6th and E-seventh, in the orchestral strings version, is simultaneously both sad and comforting. Additionally, many parents sing this song (unaccompanied) to their children, at bed time."

Due to its popularity, "Summertime" has been recorded in many different languages, and on many different instruments."

Hi, has taken me a week to source the singer, but I think that you will find that jason rebello is the composer of the version you are looking for. Cheers Craig. http://jazzstream.tlrc.net/jazzfmplayer/index.php?region=1&store=1&submit.x=17&submit.y=13
