In Studio: Johnny Summers

Earlier this year, we had the great pleasure of chatting with our friend, Johnny Summers. His most recent release as a vocalist and trumpeter is a tribute to the music of Chet Baker - the album “Baker’s Dozen.” We chat about how Chet’s music has influenced Johnny’s own style… but we dig deeper into one crucial element of musical performance - a personal connection with the audience. Our story begins in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where Johnny tells us a little bit about his family. More at johnnysummers.com.
