Forget what you think you know about Michael Lington. Now that he’s gone mainstream with his career and consciousness shifting new album Soul Appeal, he’s full steam ahead like no one’s ever heard him before, blazing a fresh, innovative road for himself with a freewheeling immersion into the heart of the 60’s and 70’s Memphis Soul vibe. From his 1997 self-titled breakthrough album through 2012’s star-studded Pure, the charismatic saxophonist has wowed and surprised his fans before. But he’s never had more fun, played more loose, solo’d more intensely or improvised this expansively.
All of the beloved saxophonist’s seven previous acclaimed albums, countless hit radio singles and hundreds of awe inspiring live performances over the past 15 years are now simply prelude to the fresh energy and live in the studio excitement he created at Los Angeles’ legendary Sunset Sound with veteran R&B/pop producer Barry Eastmond (Anita Baker, George Benson, Billy Ocean, Yolanda Adams), Engineer Ray Bardani (Luther Vandross, Beyonce, David Sanborn) and a handpicked group of his favorite musicians.
With his sleek look, hip attitude and intense, passionate performance style that turns the sax into a celebration of life and love, it is no wonder that Michael Lington has become one of the hottest stars on today’s contemporary jazz scene. And if fans around the world sense something regal about the Copenhagen native, it’s no doubt, due to the company he keeps. Lington, who previously played for Denmark’s 50th birthday celebration for the Queen, was commissioned in May to perform his new single “Show Me” at the Royal Wedding of Denmark’s Crown Prince Frederick (the country’s future king), at the exclusive wedding reception at Fredensborg castle.
