Blimey, nothing about Summertime is static at all! Personally, I just play it... or am I missing something?

Am R 3 5 7 9 11 and beyond if you want.
So R 3 5 Am; 3 5 7 Cmaj; 5 7 9 Em; 7 9 11 Gmaj
Over Am
Play your Am or Am7 stuff
Or play your Cmaj or Cmaj7 stuff
Or play your Em or Em7 stuff
Or play your Gmaj or Gmaj7 stuff and your Gmaj7 stuff might include Bm7 stuff... And your Bm7 stuff might include E7 stuff... to infinity and beyond

Hey Peter,
..did you get more than you bargained for ? -lol- ..there's more ideas up there than I would've thought of.
I haven't seen anyone mention the V chord, if the tune will take it and assuming you just want to spice up a longer one chord passage, use the V. These are very short "phrases or lead ins", for me. If you're using the basic iii or vi sub, use a bit of their respective V chord. ... I'm a simple man
I like your Bm idea. I also like the B7 idea.
PS: I like mr b' idea above. you could also use a bit of V leading into your next chord. ...?
-best,
Mike
