About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Quite often, so-called smooth jazz artists who are mindlessly predictable in the studio become a lot more spontaneous and risk-taking on-stage. Playing for themselves instead of pandering to radio, they're much more inclined to let loose. Released as both a two-LP set and as a single CD, Kenny G Live is an improvement over 1986's Duotones and 1988's Silhouette, the knee-jerk studio recordings that made him a superstar. The saxophonist lets loose on the funky "Midnight Motion" and the catchy "I've Been Missin' You," which he co-wrote with R&B singer Kashif for 1983's G Force. There are also two new studio offerings, "Going Home" and "Uncle Al." Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Kenny G Liveby Anonymous

July 06, 2005: Although Kenny G has the reputation of releasing somewhat soporific studio outings(with the notable exception of Classics in the Key of G), on this live CD he and band prove that they can stretch out and get loose and funky when required Vail Johnson shows some vicious slap and pop chops on "Midnight Motion", supported by the thick "boom-boom" of Bruce Carters' drumming, Mr G himself has obviously been listening to didgeridoo players, he uses circular breathing techniques to great effect, especially on "Silhouette". The lone clunker here is the duet with Michael Bolton, "Don't Make Me Wait for Love" which comes off as a pale retread of "Missing you Now". All in all, the G-Man and crew prove that they can break out of the constraints of the studio and be like a jazzier Grateful Dead!
