XYZ (Andy Summers album). XYZ is a 1987 album by Andy Summers. The title "XYZ" comes from the middle names of Summers's three children. His daughter Layla (born 1978) has the middle name 'Z', and his twin sons, Maurice and Anton, (born 1987) have the middle names 'X' and 'Y' respectively. The album was recorded in 1986 at Devo's studio in Los Angeles,.
XYZ is the first solo album by Andy Summers. During his tenure with The Police, Summers had worked on a number of solo projects, including two albums of instrumental music with Robert Fripp and the soundtrack for films such Down and Out in Beverly Hills and 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Following the official break-up of band in 1986, Summers, like his bandmates Sting and Stewart Copeland, embarked on a more ambitious solo project.
This is the one Andy Summers record that I have heard that it is not jazz. It is a fairly strong mainstream record, probably what we might have expected as a first endeavor after the Police. While the record sounds great, Andy doesn't stretch himself vocally. Up to now, I had always dismissed XYZ as a mistake. But I have to say that this is a great pop album overall. His vocals blend in well on most of the tunes, but on a few of them, it just seems that another vocalist would been a better choice. I knocked off one star for that.
For all the people who pit andy summers 3 albums from this period against stings 2 or 3 albums from this period, and think that sting was a superior musician are sadly making a big mistake, marketing is vital for the record industry, sting carried the name from the 'police', and was the figurehead everyone knew, he instantly had recognition, and of course. a very clever musician and singer as well. and ardent songsmith .
