What You Don't Know About Kenny G
Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, famously known as Kenny G, is perhaps best known for his 1986 jazz album, Duotones. In fact, according to The Independent, he has sold more albums than Eminem, Shania Twain, Guns N' Roses, and even Simon & Garfunkel. He is consistently included in top charts lists along with iconic, household named musicians from over the decades.
As for his new found fame in an even new generation, Kenny G is taken aback by it all and says that he's "feeling it." In an interview with Variety, he explained, "I'm flattered that these young guys are calling me to play." But while he's known for a specific genre of music, he doesn't want to feel boxed in by just one style. "I've always thought of myself as very open. If you play me something, it could be heavy metal, bluegrass, R&B, super-heavy jazz — I feel like if I can just live with it," he said. "I can find the right vibe for it. It's like a puzzle" (via Variety).
