Wow...I love this album and I've never claimed to be a Kenny G fan. In fact, the only reason I bought this CD was because it features my favorite male and female R&B artists (Brian McKnight and Chante Moore) on it. As it turns out, I love the entire recording. The melodies flow so beautifully and it's a great mix to relax or meditate to. Kenny won me over with this one. I'm sure I'll be purchasing more of his music in the future.

This isn't jazz, and Kenny G's no instrumental virtuoso. Up till now, he's been much the seducer, the wooer, appealing to the emotions of the listener. On this CD, he's more of a party guest enjoying himself with the other party goers.

The two duets are truer duets than those on previous CD's. The sax is singing with Chante Moore and with Brian McKnight rather than accompanying and enhancing their solos. Interesting effect, and especially with Chante Moore.

I've enjoyed his treatment of songs with a Spanish flavor, and his treatment of "Brazil" is indeed quite listenable.

None of his CDs are for serious jazz fans. They're aimed at mainstream audiences, and I see no fault for that. Music is to make people happier, and as long as there are those made happy by his playing, more power to him. None of us have the right to tell others what they should listen to and enjoy. This will be a much better world if we just let those who enjoy certain musicians do so, and let those who don't enjoy them go elsewhere.

So if you've enjoyed Kenny G's previous CDs and are aware that this one is maybe less of a seductive set but still enjoyable for those who like him, you'll probably like it.

And if you don't like Kenny G, stay away from this CD, but let others enjoy it if they want to. Kenny G is no threat to Miles Davis, John Coltrane, or any of the other jazz greats so let him entertain his fans...they're not hurting you.

There are so many people out there in the world that don't like jazz. I could care less. Kenny G is by far the best selling saxophonist of all time, and for good reason. 'Paradise' is yet another masterpiece created by Kenny G. This guy is an absolute genius when it comes to the sax. There are so many people out there that bash him and jazz in general. I mean, I have to admit, I didn't like jazz either, but then I started listening to Kenny G's music, that changed me forever. I love this music. This CD deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion, and I know people will disagree with me on that, but who cares, this CD deserves it!

This album from Kenny G has a more Latin feel. Tracks like Malibu Dreams and Peace are some of the soft pop tunes that are his trademark. This is a good album for the Kenny G fan, and for those that like that Smooth Jazz/Latin feel to music. For a new album, I give it a four. Sound-wise, he stays in a certain area here, and doesn't explore his instrument as much as earlier albums. That's why I say, it's not his best, but it's still got that Kenny G feel to it. Over all, a good album.

Kenny G does it again. It is amazing how many of my favorite songs are made by him. Whether I am looking for a song to keep me upbeat or one that could set the mood, he is always there. The highlights of this cd for me are "Paradise", "Malibu Dreams", "Seaside Jam", and of course, "Midnight Magic". He has truly grown as an artist. His earlier cds were basically duets. After his release, "Gravity", he moved toward more instrumental moods than being accompanied by backup vocals. He is truly one of my favorite artists, and if you like relaxing music, this is a great buy.
