the early Kenny, the funky Kenny, the talented Kenny. he knows it's cotton candy pop jazz but people love it and he loves it so don't answer the critics.
Kenny G shaped and molded a part of me growing up thru his music and I will be forever grateful!!!!
I'm so used to the "Duotones" version of this song, I didn't recognize it when Kenny started to play. But yeah, this is a great song. Not my personal fave, but great!
What the "purists" can't admit is that this artist can run rings around the vast majority of jazz musicians and that soul comes from deep within and it represents all the shades of the creative rainbow.
As a fellow saxophone player, I can tell you why others critcize him. While I agree that most of the critcizim is too harsh, Kenny G does has his flaws as a sax player. But...we all do. If you want to know more, swing me a message.
Of course, but many saxophone players know there are PLENTY of people who can play as good or better than Kenny G (Heck my mom a die hard Kenny G fan listened to Gerald Albright and hasn't listened to much of Kenny G since :)). Kenny G stays in pentatonic land way too much...but hes got great control (especially altissimo) and sound and people like him...and hes rich...he is a pretty good player.
u know what i do the same thing to Jay-z im a jay-z basher be kenny g is nice dude there is jazz and there is smooth jazz hip hop and there is rap good music.
BTW, Bruce Carter worked those drums over like Ali on a heavy bag!!!
Rest in peace Mr. Carter

Smooth Jazz is not a genre. That's why sometimes you may see it as "Smooth Jazz". "Smooth Jazz" is reaaly instrumental Pop
