Kenny G is an American saxophonist whose fourth album, Duotones, brought him breakthrough success in 1986. Kenny’s forte is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto and tenor saxophone, and the flute on occasions.
He achieved success earlier on with both G Force and Gravity, his second and third studio albums respectively, achieving platinum status in the United States. These sales were topped by his fourth studio album, Duotones, which shifted over five million copies in the U.S. alone. His fifth studio album, Breathless, became the No 1 best selling instrumental album ever, with over 15 million copies sold, of which 12 million were sold in the U.S. He broke another record when his first holiday album, Miracles, sold over 13 million copies, making it the most successful Christmas album to date.
As of 2003, Kenny G was named the 25th-highest selling artist in America by the RIAA, with 48 million albums sold in the U.S as of July 31, 2006. In 1994, Kenny G won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition for Forever in Love. Three years later, Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. Kenny G held an E-flat for over forty five minutes!
