Mindi Abair Opening For Michael Bolton Summer Tour

Smooth Jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair will be playing to a whole-new audience this summer when she opens for vocalist Michael Bolton. One date has been set so far, July 25 in Costa Mesa, California, but many more are expected to be announced soon.

Although Abair is a headlining act in her own right, the saxophonist is not adverse to touring with stars in other genres to get her music heard. In 2004, she toured with pop and classical vocalist Josh Groban. Bolton, best known for songs such as “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” “When a Man Loves a Woman” and "Love Is a Wonderful Thing,” released a new CD on May 23 called Bolton Swings Sinatra.

Abair's new CD, Life Less Ordinary, includes the smooth jazz hit “True Blue.”
