His fourth album, Duotones(which included the very popular “Songbird”), made him into a star. Soon he was signed to Arista, recording his debut as a leader in 1982. After graduating from the University of Washington, Kenny G worked with Jeff Lorber Fusion, making two albums with the group. He recorded with Cold, Bold & Together (a Seattle-based funk group) and freelanced locally. Kenny Gorelick started playing professionally with Barry White‘s Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976. 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. He’s 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. Your tickets for the old date will remain valid at the new date.Ī phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings routinely made the pop, R&B, and jazz charts during the 1980s and ’90s, Kenny G‘s sound became a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio stations. This show has been rescheduled from September 17, 2021.
