Album produced by American saxophonist Kenneth Gorelick (Seattle, 1956), aka 'Kenny G'. He became famous from the 80's with his playing style, light, soft and attractive and fluid phrasing (influenced by American saxophonist Grover Washington), that has earned numerous fervor of fans (more than 75 million records sold worldwide), despite criticism from jazz purists reproached his mellow style. Kenny with his music really is more in the realm of pop that jazz. This album, the sixth studio of his career, achieved in USA No. 1 on the list of albums of jazz contemporaries and # 2 on the Billboard 200 for its sales, which exceeded 13 million copies worldwide, of which 12 million were sales in USA (12 times platinum). The song 'Forever in Love' won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition in 1994 and is undoubtedly one of the biggest hits of his career in his online pop.
In a recording career that spans almost three decades and 23 albums, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Kenny G has grafted elements of R&B, pop and Latin to a jazz foundation solidifying his reputation as the premiere artist in contemporary jazz. Since the early ‘80s, his combination of unparalleled instrumental chops and indelible melodies has resulted in sales of more than 75 million records.
When the elements of melody and harmony are carefully balanced, the convergence of one world with another results in a beautiful sound. Namaste is a collaborative album crafted by Rahul Sharma a native of Indias Kashmir region and a third-generation master of the exotic, 100-string santoor and saxophonist Kenny G, a multiple Grammy-winning titan on the contemporary jazz landscape for more than two decades. This unusual and daring project captures the best of these two musicians with a chill ambiance set up by mixer/producer extraordinaire Kid Tricky.
