Kenny G.: Innocence

Kenny G

The 2023 album "Innocence" by internationally acclaimed saxophonist and composer Kenny G. His first collection of lullabies; these timeless tracks with orchestral accompaniment include "Rock-a-Bye Baby", "Edelweiss", "Over the Rainbow" and 7 original songs. Kenny G has a knack for melodies. That's not necessarily a revelation, but rather a vast understatement, and it really becomes apparent at this point in Kenny's amazing career. This is a musician who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, who has the best-selling instrumental album of all time with 1992's 12-times platinum Breathless, who has the best Christmas album of all time with 1994's 8-times platinum Miracles, and whose song "Going Home" has improbably become the official after-work anthem in China. At the heart of these achievements is Kenny's ability to create deep emotional resonance with his saxophone, a skill never more evident than on Innocence, his 20th album. The theme of the 12-track project is lullabies, which have been used for thousands of years not only to rock babies to sleep, but also to pass on cultural and family traditions. "Lullabies are very special to me," says Kenny, who has been thinking about an album with this musical focus for several years and even casually mentioned the idea in Penny Lane's acclaimed 2021 HBO documentary 'Listening to Kenny G'. It's the melodies. They're beautiful and timeless, and every time I hear them, wonderful memories come flooding back."
