Bio
Motivated in his music career by so many legends before him, just to name a few, Jimmy Hendrix, Grover
Washington Jr, Slash, and Jonathan Butler. Kenny Nightingale is an American based smooth jazz recording artist who includes a fusion of gospel and contemporary beats.
Mr. Nightingale writes songs and creates sounds that come from the deep. He plays with angelical tunes and a
unique blend of jazz from all parts of the world. “My Saxophone,” Kenny’s new single (May 20, 2022), was created from his passion for the instruments that he plays.
Writing “My Saxophone” I was inspired by the very instrument it was named after. “My Saxophone” is an uplifting, inspirational song that people can groove along and sing with me as I play.
On this track, I went into the studio with my band to record, Sankey Bullet on the keyboard, Michael Osadolo on guitar, Erica Newell as the background vocals, Stephen Gerrick on the Bass Guitar, and Adrian McBean on the
drums. “My Saxophone” was produced by Sankey Bullet and co-produced by Kenny Nightingale himself.
