Tyler Summers Trio....

"The Tyler Summers Trio deserves to be heard by anyone with an ear for creative music."
- Larry Nai, Cadence Magazine

"The show was great! You guys blew everyone away - the kids and I were very inspired. Thank you!"
- Jeremy Legault, DeLaSalle College, Toronto, ON

"When the music is this good, considerations of age become moot."
- Larry Nai, Cadence Magazine

"The Tyler Summers Trio seems dedicated and respectful of their music and genuinely want to make a connections with their audience. For a group of young jazz musicians to have that goal (human connection) be so high on their list, and for it to be expressed so overtly, is very refreshing."
- John Dworkin, allaboutjazz.com

Who said time apart can't be good?
After several years of working on individual projects, and having great success, Tyler, Matt, and Stockton are preparing for big things in 2009 and beyond.

Tyler, having recently moved to Nashville from New York City, has been active on the singer-songwriter circuit. Recently being honored in the American Songwriter Magazine for "Mirror Of A Man" off of his new EP "Whatever It Takes," he's been active on the touring scene as a solo artist, bringing a mixture of piano, vocals, and saxophone loops. As a sideman, Tyler recently made appearances on the David Letterman Show with the band Spoon, The Today Show with Feist, and the Canadian Country Music Awards with soul/country singer Johnny Reid.

Matt, having been in New York City now for several years, has created an incredible band with his own project, Falls. He's found time to write for the band even though he's been incredibly active as a sideman in the studio, and in clubs throughout New York.

Stockton, who's released two records on his own, was the musical director of the Maynard Ferguson band for several years, before Maynard passed in 2006. "Lodestar" and "For Nothing Is Secret" have gone on to critical acclaim through North America, and Stockton is in high demand not only as a player, but as an educator.
