My goodness, it's hard to believe how mean-spirited so many of you people out there are. If you don't like the album, then say you don't like the album. But, PLEASE, stop with the name-calling and low pot-shots. Kenny G is a man who plays his kind of music, which many of us happen to enjoy. If you don't, so what? If it's not what you would call "jazz," so what? It is what it is-Good music! And these are some of his best songs. If you don't like him, then go review artists whose albums you like, and give Kenny G and his fans a break from your tiresome cruel comments.

This gift collection is a perfect gift for anyone who's a fan of Kenny G. He plays such great music, and I don't care whether they call it jazz or pop or whatever, I just love it.You Kenny G haters have no taste in music!

I am not part of the wine and cheese crowd, nor am I a soccer mom or a dentist; My CD rack holds the likes of Billie Holiday and Peter Tosh, Terence Blanchard and Ben Tankard, Maxwell and Madness. I also like Kenny G's music; mind you, I don't like his songs enough to buy all of his albums, however, this compilation of his greatest hits suits me just fine. With this CD, I can now listen to "Songbird" an old favorite; or I can play "Silhouette" and reminisce about prom night, 1988; or I can enjoy "The Moment", which IMHO, is simply a nice melody. I am always intrigued to read all of the caustic reviews that this artist invariably receives. The negative reviews usually do not come from any balanced asssessment of the merits (or perceived lack thereof) of the album in question; but rather seem to come from musical wannabe's, begrudging of KG's commercial success, while other perhaps more talented artists labor in obscurity. Other reviews seem to be the product of what I call "Jazz-snobs" who pretend to have ascended Mt. Sinai and returned with stone tablets, delineating what is and isn't jazz, when in reality, no true music lover would give two plugged nickels for their opinions on such arbitrary musical categories. For my own part, I would rather they review the album, discuss its merits, render an opinion of its quality, and back up that opinion based upon something in the album. Here's my opinion: I like this album because KG plays a nice melody. It gets no deeper than that. As another reviewer put it, "Satchmo he ain't", and that's true; in terms of creativity, nuance, ear, and versatility, KG doesn't compare to the likes of Miles, The Bird, and Coltrane, nor does he pretend to stand among them. He can however, bang out a melody that's as good as anything any of them ever put to paper, and this album is replete with such melodies; And that's why I like it. Good music is that which you enjoy. Nothing more, nothing less. If KG's work displeases you, then it just does. Nothing more nothing less. But as for me and my house, we like him.

Kenny's alto sax is relaxing and stimulating at the same time. His duets are the best too. Kudos for this album

The CD is really good, but I know for a fact that it was recalled and the last track, "Innocence", was replaced with the Intrumental version of "Titanic - My Heart will go on".

If you collect Kenny G's music though, you will then I suppose want both. I bought the first edition and then the newly released one.

This CD is worth getting though.
