Kenneth Gorelick has long been the musician whom many jazz listeners try to keep a secret on their playlists. Because he does not improvise much, sticking mostly to predictable melody statements, true “jazz aficionados” feel his music largely falls outside of jazz. A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, he is listed at the top of “contemporary jazz” charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the public.
Kenny G is a saxophone player from Seattle, Washington with an attractive sound who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. His sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations since the mid-’80s, making him a household name. His latest album, “Brazilian Nights,” is in stores now.
