Born in 1956 in Seattle, Kenny G is one the most popular contemporary jazz musicians today, having sold more than 75 million albums, singles and music videos. His best-selling single Songbird, released in 1987, elevated the saxophone from a supporting instrument to a solo best seller. Pop music fans are now sold on Kenny G’s high-key saxophone strains that evoke romantic sadness and joy. Superstars like the late Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion have all commissioned him to write songs featuring saxophone solos. Kenny G’s many awards include a Grammy and an American Music Award. September marks his return visit to Shanghai after five years. He insisted on a small venue for better interaction with the audience.
