TOBIN SUMMERFIELD
GENTRY DENSLEY & GREG NIELSEN DUO OF ICEBURN

Tobin Summerfield- a quiet giant of sound, having worked with folks like jaimie branch, Colin Stetson, Bill Brovold. Summerfield is made of sound, as he calls it "cross pollinated musical garden" his sound is informed by explorations, improvisations and deep through composition. A not to be missed, wildy influential giant of sound. 

from website -
“Toby Summerfield, 1978
Bassist, Guitarist, Collaborator, Improviser, Composer. Aught Dawg.
Summerfield comes from rock music, through jazz and tries to operate in a cross- pollinated musical garden. He’s most at home in complicated rock bands and free improvised situations- and especially loves when both can happen. But he’ll do whatever you ask him to, within reason.
He has worked extensively with Colin Stetson, jaimie branch, Dina Maccabee and Bill Brovold; been a section leader and sub conductor for Rhys Chatham’s 100 guitar performances and leads the large ensemble Never Enough Hope. During the pandemic he started a solo practice built in the tools and techniques he has developed through his career to collaborate with his musical friends.
He feels lucky to have been in Ann Arbor in the late 90’s and in Chicago during the Aughts, getting to play with the luminous humans who populated the music communities in those cities.”
