Summer Song is part two of Chip Davis' three part Ambience collection (preceded by 2001's Bird Song and followed by Autumn Song in 2003). It was released in 2001 on CD by American Gramaphone and features seven summer-themed tracks.

The Ambience collection is a series of natural recordings with musical elements composed by Davis. In June 2024, the album was re-released on digital streaming platforms. According to the press release, the digital version is "the first in 'spatial audio', which is what Chip was envisioning 25+ years ago when he began this project."[1]
