Bob Summers, Guitar:
Bob Summers, the brother of Mary Ford and brother-in-law of Les Paul, began his performing and recording career while still in his teens. Following the separation of Mary and Les Paul, Bob took over as the guitarist for his sister as she continued her career as a singer. By the early 60's, he had become increasingly more involved in record production. Bob arranged, engineered, played all the instruments and sang background vocals on Terry Stafford's hit single "Suspicion". By the late 60's, Bob and business partner Mike Curb were producing soundtracks for American International Pictures. Bob continued his partnership with Mike Curb, becoming the musical director for the "Mike Curb Congregation". He later opened his own studio as an independent producer. Operating as "Bob Summers Music", Bob's studio turned out countless TV and movie soundtracks over the years and continues to produce Jazz and Pop recordings today.

John Glenn, Bass:
As a teenager, just out of high school, John Glenn began playing professionally in Rock and Roll bands in Hollywood and LA. John discovered jazz in the early 70's playing in big bands at Chaffey College and CSUF with Gordon Goodwin, Tom Ranier, Eric Marienthal and Al Davis. By the late 70's, he gravitated towards contemporary chamber music and for the past 30 years has performed locally, nationally and internationally with the Lloyd Rodger's Group, Cartesian Reunion Memorial Orchestra, Steve Moshier's Liquid Skin Ensemble and the Paul Bailey Ensemble. John began playing with Bob Summers at the Bulldog Pub in Upland in 2003. Since 2003, he has worked with Bob on several projects, including the Boatman / Summers Presents concert series in Claremont and the Magic of Jazz concert series at the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Traci Taylor, Vocals:
While still in high school, Traci Taylor began her career in music as a piano instructor in local music stores. As a performer, she played keyboards and added vocals for some of the Inland Empire's busiest club bands. After many years of the club "routine", Traci retired, temporarily, from performing to concentrate on music education and building her own studio, Tracimuzik Piano Instruction. Once her studio had established itself in the community, Traci was able to return to performing and joined Bob Summers and John Glenn to form TSG in 2006.

All music arranged and recorded by Bob Summers.
