Jazz Views interview

Michael Sutton is a jazz vocalist whose debut album, 'Those Leftover Dreams,' in 2024 marked a triumphant return to his first passion: music. 

Having begun his musical career at just sixteen, Michael's journey through the world of jazz was temporarily paused in his mid-twenties when he pursued a career within the NHS becoming a specialist in Cardiology. Despite his success in the medical field, the allure of music remained irresistible.

After a seven-year hiatus, Michael reconnected with his musical roots reaching out to pianist Rob Barron, a former collaborator, to set the stage for his musical comeback. 

Under the guidance of Claire Martin OBE, a figure Michael has long admired and nervously approached with a demo twenty years prior, 'Those Leftover Dreams' was born. The album features a rich blend of ten familiar and surprising jazz compositions, showcasing Michael's soulful vocals. Claire Martin not only produced the album but also lent her vocals to 'The Way Young Lovers Do,' adding a special touch to the project.

The title 'Those Leftover Dreams' is a nod to the lyrics of 'Here’s That Rainy Day,' reflecting Michael's personal journey. Michael is excited to return to the studio in Summer 2025 to record his next release.
