A 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. 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. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to
predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. 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.
