“It’s ludicrous a song like that would go on an album at the height of our fame, but it got the most notice because it was so bizarre”: The Police’s Andy Summers on success, psychedelia and working with difficult people

Andy Summers.

Andy Summers worked across a wide range of genres before The Police became huge. He played with Zoot Money, Soft Machine and The Animals, and even jammed with Jimi Hendrix. In the 80s he collaborated with Robert Fripp, and in 2015 continued his experimental creations with Metal Dog. That year he gave Prog the benefit of his insight and experience.
