Michael Lington signs with NuGroove

NuGroove Signs Saxophonist Michael Lington
and Hits #8 on Billboard Charts with Bob Baldwin’s NewUrbanJazz.com CD

In the wake of tremendous format changes, one record label has managed to take the lead in revitalizing the contemporary jazz industry. Since re-opening its doors in 2007, NuGroove has launched a succession of chart-topping hits that have earned widespread critical acclaim. Starting with the success of Jay Soto's "Slammin", which hit #2 on the R&R Smooth Jazz Chart, along with the recent signing saxophonist Michael Lington and the #8 Billboard hit (NewUrbanJazz.com) by Bob Baldwin, NuGroove is indeed at the helm of a contemporary jazz wave.

“NuGroove is proud to have a collection of some of the most phenomenal artists in the recording industry today. This past year has been absolutely fantastic. It has indeed been my honor to help these artists bring their ideas and music to life.” said David Chackler, CEO and founder.

The signing to NuGroove marks a return home for Michael Lington, who launched his first CD with the label in 1997. “It’s great to be back at NuGroove. The label is on the cutting edge of the trends in the industry and believe in creating viable artistic partnerships by allowing the artists the freedom to do what they do best…create great music,” said Lington.
