Saxophonist Kenny G first gained attention as Kenny Gorelick, a
member of second-tier jazz-fusion group the Jeff Lorber Fusion.
After going solo, he developed a hyper-slick, instrumental pop
sound that featured simple melodies played over gentle beds of
jazzy mood music. With the help of clever promotion and marketing
from Clive Davis's Arista Records, Kenny G's albums sold millions,
and the saxophonist became one of the world's most famous modern
instrumentalists. His success caused a great deal of debate in the
jazz community, as his sound owed as much to Muzak and easy
listening as it did to "serious" jazz.
