ABOUT KENNY G:
Having sold an astonishing 75 million+ copies worldwide in his unparalleled career, Kenny G is easily the world's most renowned instrumentalist. After years of playing professionally with groups like Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra and Jeff Lorber Fusion, Kenny signed with Arista Records in 1982. His big moment came in 1988 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. A producer insisted that the artist should perform a track accompanied by a vocalist. Kenny felt it was important in this moment to establish himself with an instrumental. The debate continued up until minutes before show time when Kenny launched into "Songbird," the landmark recording from his fourth album, Duotones and a star was born. From there Kenny went on to become a multi-platinum sensation soon collaborating with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole and Frank Sinatra. His next studio albums, Silhouette and Breathless were enormously successful. Miracles was Kenny' first album to hit number #1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and became the best selling holiday album of all-time. 2004's all-star album entitled At Last...The Duets Album featured performances by Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach, and LeAnn Rimes. 2006's I'm in the Mood for Love: The Most Romantic Melodies of All Time, the saxophonist's unique take on some of the greatest love songs ever written including standards such as Dorothy Fields' "The Way You Look Tonight," right up through modern hits such as Alicia Keys' "I Ain't Got You," and James Blunt's "You're Beautiful." An avid aviator and golfer, Kenny G resides in California.
