Otl25: Michael Sutton Trio

Michael Sutton, a seasoned jazz vocalist, made a triumphant return to music in 2024 with his debut album, Those Leftover Dreams, produced by Claire Martin OBE.

Hailed as a “vocalist destined for big things” by JazzViews, his rich and soulful vocals take centre stage, leaving an indelible mark on each jazz composition. Backed by an exceptional ensemble featuring Rob Barron, Jeremy Brown, Mark Taylor, and Quentin Collins, Sutton’s album seamlessly blends familiar tunes with delightful surprises.

“This could be the vocal album of the year” Bebop Spoken Here

Music has been integral to Sutton’s life since his teenage years when he gigged as a musician. A detour into a stable career in cardiology during his mid-twenties didn’t diminish his musical passion. After seven years, Sutton returned to pursue his dream, collaborating with Barron, leading to the creation of Those Leftover Dreams.

Recent performances to sell-out audiences for his album launch at Piano Smithfield, PizzaExpress Live and the Late Night Jazz series at the Royal Albert Hall illustrate a journey from early musical experiences to a cardiology career and back to music which encapsulates Sutton’s passion, resilience, and the triumphant realisation of his musical aspirations. Now firmly ‘back on the scene’, Sutton’s talent, passion and versatility proves he is here to stay.
