Recorded between 1986 & 2003. With a lighter-than-air tone and similar arrangements, Kenny G has moved millions of albums with the kind of music that's closer to the easy listening pop of Richard Clayderman than the muscular improvisation of John Coltrane.

The ULTIMATE KENNY G culls some of this Seattle native's best bits from his 13 studio albums.
|
|
Along with best-selling instrumentals like 1986's smash "Songbird," mixes in film music ("My Heart Will Go On," "Theme From Dying Young") and fare with world music nuances ("Havana," "Brazil"), G also dips into the songbooks of Burt Bacharach and Hal David ("The Look of Love") and Antonio Carlos Jobim ("The Girl from Ipanema" featuring Bebel Gilberto).
|
|
Along with Gilberto, other guest vocalists include
|
Chante Moore (the sensual "One More Time"), Smokey Robinson (a lush "We've Save the Best for Last") and
|
Peabo Bryson (an upbeat "By the Time This Night Is Over").
|
|
For die-hard fans, Kenny G also includes the previously released, Japan-only "Jasmine Flower," his studio manipulated Louis Armstrong duet on "What a Wonderful World" and the matrimony minded "The Wedding Song."
