Bill Summers (musician)

Bill Summers (musician)

Bill Summers 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. His wife is Yvette Bostic-Summers, who often sings on Los Hombres' albums. [cite web
