Not another cover album

"I love Lington's early albums. Mainly original stuff.

I am not saying covers are all bad. But it seems to

show that he cannot come up with new material.



So now he has gone to the dark side. First it was Rod Stewart

doing all covers.



Now the smooth jazz greats are getting lazy and doing the same

thing. Chris Botti did some great original work and now he

has done two cover albums. I think Peter White has done the same.

PRETTY BORING!!

"I really like the songs Lington has selected, especially STING's "FRAGILE", Elton's "SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD" and Paul Simon's "STILL CRAZY......" but these are not songs meant for sax instrumentals - it's boring and I felt like I was listening to a sax player at a wedding."

A Must Have CD

"I just finished listening to Michael's new cd, " A Song For You ". Simply put, this is a "must have" cd for all serious jazz lovers. The musical arrangements were excellent while remaining true to the original recordings. You will play this cd time and time again. It is just that good. Happy Listening."
