The Police are iconic but I once saw Andy with his own jazz project at the North Sea Jazz Festival and didn’t like it at all - couldn’t sit the set out and walked away…..
But of course, I’m jealous he made $150 million, wouldn’t mind doing so too….. Jeez, €150 million!! How on earth do you spend that? I’d keep a few and give the rest to my daughter and charity I suppose.

I have seen Summers a few times in jazz settings. I liked it. BTW, he is 79 years old now. When you think about it he is one the oldest rock/pop musicians of the rock star era. Kinda amazing IMHO.

And Stewart was in Curved Air who admittedly had they best years in the early 70s before he joined but still. He was on two of their records in 76-76 and btw married lead singer Sonja Kristina. The records Stewart was on didn't break the charts unlike their earlier stuff, but as I understand it they where a popular live act
Here is a live performance with Stewart on drums
Anyways ... I'm sure that the main driver in the band with regards to pushing it and creating opportunities was Stewart (and his brothers)Last edited by Lobomov; 01-27-2022 at 04:15 PM.
