"Summers is a musician of the highest order, playing anything from traditional African instruments to pop bottles, and a cultural visionary who brings diverse people and ideas together. Whether working with Quincy Jones on the musical score for Roots, or the soundtrack to The Color Purple, or interpreting the music of the holiday Kwanza, Summers is cognizant of his heritage and its many contributions to world culture."

Oh, and as a member of the past and present HeadHunters, he just happened to play on the best selling Jazz album of all time, the Herbie Hancock led "Head Hunters".
