Summers' solo career has included recording, touring, composing for films (including 2010, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, The Wild Life and Weekend at Bernie's), and exhibiting his photography in art galleries around the world.

He recorded the duet albums I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984) with guitarist Robert Fripp of King Crimson, as well as duet albums with Victor Biglione, John Etheridge, and Benjamin Verdery.
His solo debut album, XYZ, was released in 1987 and is the only non-instrumental album in his catalogue.
Although it included pop material, such as the single "Love is the Strangest Way", it failed to dent the charts.
In 1987 Sting invited Summers to perform on his second album ...Nothing Like the Sun, a favour the singer returned by playing bass on Charming Snakes (1990) and later contributing vocals to "'Round Midnight" on Summers' tribute album to Thelonious Monk, Green Chimneys, in 1999.
In the mid-1990s Summers briefly returned to a more rock-oriented sound with Synesthesia (1995) and The Last Dance of Mr X (1997) before recording a string of jazz albums.
