When Tyler Summers, award-winning jazz saxophonist turned singer-songwriter and pianist, began to delve into his third original project, he set out to create a record which truly combined his distinct musical roots. What resulted was "Whatever It Takes", an emanation of passion and candidness both musically and lyrically, and songwriting that is honest, penetrating, and raw.

Summers brings three top ten placements in the Pop and Acoustic categories on Ourstage (www.ourstage.com) and in Nov/Dec 2008, a feature in American Songwriter Magazine for the lyrics to "Mirror of a Man" (track 5).
