He plays fairly interesting melodic solos that are easy to listen to. His sound on the soprano sax is pleasant and he plays well in tune (which isn't that easy on soprano sax). Although a lot of serious musicians think he's predictable and not all that interesting, casual listeners won't be confused or driven away by sounds that they don't understand. I'd say he's found a niche. Wish I could.
he plays the clarinet and the saxophone
Kenny G
No, Kenny G did not play the saxophone in Dan Fogelberg's song "Same Auld Lang Syne." The saxophone solo in that song was actually performed by jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker. Kenny G is known for his smooth jazz style and has had a successful career as a solo artist, but he was not involved in that particular recording.
Charlie Parker, Clarence Clemons, Sonny Rollins, Kenny G, etc.
He started when he was 10, because of a person playing it on The Ed Sullivan's Show.
Yes. Kenny G (saxophone player) does it especially well!

Kenny G., Paul Dasmond, Dan Ferrie(my private lesson teacher),etc....
Yes, he does. He played alto and tenor as well as soprano on some of his earlier recordings, and still occasionally uses them (such as on his cover of "Pick up the Pieces" with David Sanborn).
Kenny G saxophones are often marketed towards beginner and intermediate players, featuring more affordable materials and construction. While they may not match the quality of professional-grade saxophones from brands like Selmer or Yamaha, they can still be a decent choice for those just starting out. Ultimately, the best saxophone depends on the player's skill level and personal preferences. It's advisable to try different models to find the best fit.
Kenny G Songbird :)
The song that Kenny G played in the "Fairly OddParents" episode titled "Mice Capades" is called "Songbird." In the episode, he performs it during a memorable scene involving the characters Timmy Turner and his fairy godparents. The smooth saxophone melody is a signature piece of Kenny G's repertoire.
