Kenny G has long been the musician many jazz listeners love to hate. A
phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts,
Kenny G's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio
stations since the mid-'80s, making him a household name. Kenny G is a fine
player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.)
who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because
he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements),
his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the
top of "contemporary jazz" charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of
the mass public, he is classified as jazz.
