SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a seasoned musician and songwriter. I would now like others to collaborate with me for the completion of my 31 new original songs. I also can be viewed on You Tube as "Bob Summers". I am seeking to complete the musicians needed to learn and ultimately have these songs recorded professionally. If I meet the right musicians, I will consider a cover and original working band.

Influences

I am into progressive fusion jazz where in the past, I have written a number of progressive jazz compositions. I am currently writing Pop songs because they appeal to the largest category of listeners, which in turn will bring larger rewards ! I have toured as a bass guitarist with "Chubby Checker and the Wildcats" (The Twist), for years and have worked with many stars and celebrities all over the world. Steely Dan - Elliott Randall, Vanilla Fudge - Vince Martell, The Doors tribute - "L.A.Woman", Chris Palmero from Saturday Night Live, SNL. The Calico Jazz Quintet, The Fat Boys and I was a studio session bass player in N.Y., where I am originally from. I live in Melbourne, Fl. now.
