Andy Summers (born Andrew James Somers, 31 December 1942) is an English guitarist and composer best known for his work in The Police and Eric Burdon & The Animals.
Summers began his recording career in the 1960s as the guitarist for the R&B group Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, and its subsequent psychedelic-era incarnation, Dantalian's Chariot. In 1968, Summers was a member (for a couple of months, from May to July of the Canterbury scene jazz fusion band Soft Machine, although he did not record with the group, he also recorded with Eric Burdon and The Animals (Love Is), and spent much of the mid-seventies doing session work for Jon Lord, Neil Sedaka, Kevin Ayers, Kevin Coyne, David Essex and others. In 1977 he was invited by ex-Gong bassist Mike Howlett to join his band Strontium 90 along with Sting and Stewart Copeland.
Summers achieved international prominence as the guitarist for The Police which he first had contact with in 1977, and of which he was the oldest member by almost a decade, most notably on popular hits such as "Message in a Bottle", "Don't Stand So Close to Me", and "Every Breath You Take". Summers also wrote songs for the Police, such as "Omegaman" and "Mother". In 1980 his instrumental "Behind My Camel" won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental. Although Sting was the primary lead vocalist, Summers sang lead vocals on several songs, including "Be My Girl Sally", "Friends", "Someone to Talk to" and "Mother." After the break-up of The Police in 1984, Summers continued his musical career, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other musicians. He has also developed his career as a writer of books and essays and a photographer.In 1992, Andy Summers served a brief stint as Musical Director on the short-lived Dennis Miller Show. He composed and performed the show's theme song, which Miller promptly jettisoned when Summers left the show.The book has been autographed by Andy Summers.
