While shrugging off the critics, Kenny G has also made efforts to take on different kinds of musical forms. Although his mark was surpassed in 2000 by Vann Burchfield, Kenny G was hopeful of reclaiming the record. At a performance at J&R Music World in New York City, he employed a method called circular breathing to hold an E-flat for 45 minutes and 47 seconds. In addition to his recording success, Kenny G set a Guinness World Record in 1997 for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. In 1994, Kenny G won a Grammy Award forВ Best Instrumental Composition for the trackВ 'Forever in Love.' That year he also released his first holiday album, Miracles, which reached No. His 1992 release, Breathless, sold more than 12 million copies in the United States alone and became the top-selling instrumental album in history. Over the next decade Kenny G and his smooth sound dominated the airwaves and the record charts. During his long career, he's also performed with Barbra Streisand, Burt Bacharach and Frank Sinatra.

Eventually topping 5 million sales, the silky-smooth jazz album led the way for Kenny G to work with other big-name stars, including Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole. His next two albums, G ForceВ (1983) and GravityВ (1985), continued his upward trajectory, but it was his fourth studio album, DuotonesВ (1986), that made the saxophonist an international star. Striking a balance between jazz and R&B, the record marked a solid start to his solo career. In 1982, after inking a deal with Arista Records, Kenny G released his self-titled debut album. Kenny G also won a Grammy Award in 1994, and at one point held the world record for the longest sustained note on a sax. Later albums, including BreathlessВ and Miracles, helped make him one of the top-selling artists of all time. Kenny G released his debut album in 1982, and rose to international fame following the 1986 release of Duotones. While you may not like what he does much of what passes for music these days is just a noise to me being brought up on Bach and Buxtehude.Grammy award winning saxophonist Kenny G began playing professionally at age 17, when he performed with Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra. However, at the price of ВЈ3 or so I am not complaining. One irritation with Kenny G CDs is the repetition of tracks a group of CDs may have 50 tracks but about a third of them are repeats from other CDs. However for something to listen to in the car (mine plays MP3 files) there is little distraction from the driving and creates a pleasant ambience, with that 'feel good' factor that makes a pleasant journey.

However it would be more interesting if Kenny was a little more inventive as I am sure he 'could do better' if some thought was put into it.

I do a lot of that on the organ so know how it goes I call it вЂmaking it up as you go alongвЂ™. In style Kenny's Alto Sax is easy to listen to although each track is much like any other some of them don't appear to have any melodic theme with Kenny seeming to extemporise on 'nothing'. I have now bought a few to add to my collection. That's interesting, I thought, and started to search for cheap Kenny G CDs. Years ago, not sure how many now, I bought a Kenny G CD in the USA while on a visit. Searching for cheap CDs on eBay I came across some Kenny G CDs. Some pleasant, easy listening music on the Alto Sax.
