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.

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.

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.

This album contains a nice array of selections , that he does a great job with . This is an enjoyable collection to have.

I think this CD is successful for Michael Lington. His performance of all songs are very interesting. But his former CD is a little bit good. I like the best his performance of "Sunset" or "Pacifica."

This is his best work to date. I listen to it over and over again and still enjoy it.
