Reception
Los Angeles Times reviewer, and Summerlin's onetime bandmate,Don Heckman, gave the album 3 stars and paid tribute to his erstwhile collaborator.
Veteran tenor saxophonist-composer Ed Summerlin has been effectively venturing through the jazz avant-garde for more than three decades. "Sum of the Parts" displays the complexities and inherent swing in his dissonant, contrapuntal music. Resonant with influences from George Russell and Ornette Coleman, it nonetheless comes together as one of the genuinely individual voices in the arena of exploratory jazz.
