Description
[Machine Translation] Kenny G, the "King of Smooth Jazz," pays homage to the masters of bossa nova on his latest album, his 14th in two and a half years. On this album, Kenny G not only plays soprano saxophone, his main instrument, but also tenor saxophone and alto saxophone, and a new stage of Kenny G's career begins here. This new Kenny G romantic masterpiece is composed of five of his original songs and five bossa nova standards. I've been in love with bossa nova all my life. I was first struck by Cannonball Adderley's "Quiet Nights" and have been personally inspired by the non-novas ever since. I have been listening to the Stan Getz compilation "Getz For Lovers" non-stop for a long time now. I've listened to it almost every day for the past 5 years and it was the inspiration for this piece. My goal was not only to make a tribute to the bossa nova masters (Cannonball Adderley, Paul Desmond and Stan Getz) that I have listened to, but also to write and record my own original bossa nova compositions and make a complete album that has its own personality. It's about making a complete album that has its own personality. Now that it's done, I can truly say we've done it," said Kenny. We're really proud of what we've done," says Kenny. Kenny also worked with longtime collaborator and co-producer Walter Afanasieff on this album. *Personnel: Kenny G ( saxophone ), Piano and Synth Instruments: Walter Afanasieff ( p, synth, ds programming, perc. programming )
