World-Renowned Saxophonist Charles Langford Added to SiriusXM’s Watercolors on Channel 68 as New Single “Savor” Makes Its Mark
World-renowned saxophonist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Charles Langford is celebrating a major new milestone with the addition of his latest single, “Savor,” to Watercolors on SiriusXM Channel 68, one of SiriusXM’s destinations for contemporary jazz.
The addition comes just days after the release of “Savor,” which became available September 25, 2026, across major digital streaming platforms.
The SiriusXM placement introduces Langford’s latest recording to an expanded audience of contemporary jazz listeners and marks another significant moment in a musical career built on decades of performance, study and dedication to the art form.
“I’m truly grateful to have ‘Savor’ added to Watercolors on SiriusXM,” said Charles Langford. “To have this music reach listeners through a platform that celebrates contemporary jazz is a special moment for me.
I’ve spent my life learning, listening, performing and continuing to grow as a musician, and I hope people will take a moment to slow down, listen and simply savor the music.”
“Savor” is a smooth, sophisticated and soulful instrumental that showcases the depth, versatility and emotional artistry that have distinguished Langford’s remarkable musical journey.
Written by acclaimed songwriter Michael Broening, the recording places Langford’s expressive saxophone playing at the forefront, creating an inviting contemporary jazz experience that encourages listeners to slow down and appreciate every note.
The title “Savor” perfectly captures the spirit of the recording.
This is music meant to be experienced rather than rushed.
Langford’s warm saxophone tone and expressive phrasing give the composition an unmistakable sense of soul, while Broening’s polished production creates a sophisticated musical atmosphere from beginning to end.
The recording features Charles Langford on saxophone and Michael Broening on piano, keyboards, synth bass and drum programming. Broening also produced and mixed the track.
For Langford, the SiriusXM addition represents another meaningful chapter in a musical journey that began during his teenage years in Springfield, Massachusetts, where his early appreciation for jazz would eventually develop into a lifelong career as a performer, recording artist and educator.
Langford’s musical education includes studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the New School for Social Research in New York City, where he studied composition and teaching with renowned jazz masters including Billy Harper, Donald Byrd and Barry Harris.
Earlier in his development, he also studied with legendary musicians Archie Shepp and Yusef Lateef, experiences that helped shape his musical perspective and artistic voice.
Over the course of his career, Langford has established himself as an A-list player in the Boston area and beyond, performing with an impressive roster of artists that includes The Toni Lynn Washington Blues Band, The Temptations and Mighty Sam McClain.
He has also shared his musicianship with artists including Melvin Sparks, Norman Connors, Solomon Burke and Steve Turre.
A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Langford commands the tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, clarinet and flute, bringing a broad musical vocabulary to every performance.
His connection to jazz began early through his father and grandfather, whose deep appreciation for the music introduced him to the importance of listening and understanding the distinctions between legendary artists such as Count Basie and Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.
They eventually introduced him to the music of Grover Washington Jr., further inspiring the young musician’s path.
That foundation continues to resonate throughout Langford’s work.
For Langford, jazz represents more than music.
It is a language of expression, history, freedom and storytelling.
Those principles continue to inform his approach as he creates music that respects the traditions of jazz while embracing contemporary sounds.
With “Savor,” Langford brings decades of experience, education and performance into a recording that feels both timeless and current.
His ability to blend technical precision with emotional expression has established a distinctive musical identity, and the song provides another example of his continuing evolution as an artist.
The addition of “Savor” to Watercolors on SiriusXM Channel 68 arrives at an exciting time for Langford, as the new single begins reaching audiences beyond his established fan base and introduces his music to contemporary jazz listeners across SiriusXM’s platform.
“Savor” is now available on major digital streaming platforms.
