In 1994, Kenny G won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for 'Forever in Love' He has established the Kenny G Miracles Foundation to raise money for music charities. Kenny G is the biggest-selling instrumental musician of the modern era, with global sales totaling more than 75 million albums. However, because he is listed at the top of 'contemporary jazz' charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as jazz. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. Kenny G is a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Kenny’s main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto and tenor saxophone and the flute on occasion.Ī phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, Kenny G’s sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations since the mid-’80s, making him a household name. Kenneth Gorelick, better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist whose fourth album, Duotones, brought him breakthrough success in 1986. 'The holidays are always special at DPAC and we think this new addition to our December line-up will be a real treat.' 'Kenny G is truly an artist whose sound is perfectly matched for the keen acoustics of DPAC,' said Bob Klaus GM of DPAC.
