Michael Lington (born June 11, 1969) is a contemporary jazz saxophonist and recording artist.
Lington plays a distinctive contemporary saxophone leaning strongly towards the pop side of jazz. He reaches a younger demographic than traditional jazz listeners and is emerging as a contemporary face of jazz.
Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Lington relocated to Los Angeles at age 21.[1] He is the grandson of jazz pioneer and Danish composer Otto Lington.[2]
Lington has achieved significant U.S. and international success, releasing seven albums and 12 U.S. radio hits.
