Bill Summers (b. June 27, 1948) is a New Orleans based Afro-Cuban jazz/Latin jazz percussionist, a multi-instrumentalist who plays primarily on conga drums. Summers is probably most well known due to his work with Los Hombres Calientes along with his friend and co-leader of the group, trumpeter Irvin Mayfield. However, despite this musical relationship, Summers has a much longer musical career than that, often working behind the scenes on film scores for various movies such as ''The Color Purple'' and the television miniseries ''Roots'' with Quincy Jones. He also played with Herbie Hancock during The Headhunters years, and is mentioned in passing by the liner notes of The Headhunters' 2003 release ''Evolution Revolution'' as contributing to that recording. His former wife is Yvette Bostic-Summers, who often sings on Los Hombres' albums. ==Discography== *''Feel the Heat'' (Prestige, 1977) *''Cayenne'' (Prestige, 1977) *''Straight to the Bank'' (Prestige, 1978) *''On Sunshine'' (Prestige, 1979) *''Call it What You Want'' (MCA, 1980) U.S. No. 129 *''Jam the Box'' (MCA, 1981) U.S. No. 92 *''Seventeen'' (MCA, 1982) *''London Style'' (MCA, 1983) *''Iroko'' (Vital Records, 1992) *''Essence of Kwanzaa'' (Monkey Hill, 1997) *''Studies in Bata: Sacred Drum of the Yoruba, Havana to Matanzas'' (Bilsum Music, 2002) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill Summers (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
