Review - Product Description

With his warm and wonderous tone and texture, Kenny G is the Gentleman of Jazz. His saxophone takes us to places that quicken our senses and delight our imagination. As a teenaged member of Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra, Kenny learned about sensuality and seduction from a master, and over the course of his spectacular career he's applied those lessons to make smooth and sophisticated odes to romance, passions and spirituality. In the process he's become the world's best-selling instrumental and jazz musician. Arista. 2006.

- Plenty of Kenny.

The "Greatest Hits" and "Ultimate Collection" are now put to shame. "Essential Kenny G" is 2 CDs, and 31 tracks of every major and minor hit of his. The obvious choices are here like "Songbird" and "Silhouette", but we also get a ton of other stuff. Throughout the 2 CDs we get hits, covers, soundtrack songs, Christmas songs, and more. It tends to jump around a bit, but it's all here and that's the important part. As a casual fan I can't think of one missing song. Some may not like the music of Kenny G, but I call it "Beautiful".

- Kenny G

I absolutely adore Kenny G. His concerts are the best value and he hasn't gotten a big head (although he could). This CD is awesome. Anything he does is a part of our collection. Cannot believe we missed this when it first came out. Fabulous music.

- about the essential - Kenny G

I bought a copy of the essential- Kenny G from Singapore HMV and is found to be the taiwanese version (so called hongkong's version). It replaces three songs from the US version that is G-Bop, Januari, Jasmine flower etc. This is a nice collection and is recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of music. I bought this version as it includes the better/nicer music title that include morning, going home, the moment, jasmine flower, songbird, theme from dying young, sihouette and forever in love. The music midnight motion is also another not bad music as it shows Kenny G talent in playing with crerenade or etc. That's all.

- A great buy!

I really like this 2-cd set of Kenny G songs. However, the Midnite Motion version (one of my favorite songs) is live. I have never cared much for live recordings. I wish the Duotones album version of this song was on the cd instead of the live audience version. Other than that, I think a great effort was made here to compile all of Kenny's best songs. What I would love to have is a boxed set of Kenny G's recordings. That would make my jazz collection complete! I would recommend this set to any serious Kenny G fan!

- Wonderful IntroTo MEHDl

I've always enjoyed Kenny G and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered a group by the name of MEHDl (pronounced medie). After an online search I found their site (S00THINGMUSIC,C0M) and listened to the samples...

I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a Kenny G fan, I find MEHDl to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.
