Saxophonist Kenny G is the best-selling instrumentalist of all time, having sold more than 70 million records. Not only has he been crowned with countless awards, he has successfully established himself as the eternal prince of saxophone lyricism in the past thirteen best-selling albums.

The new album "At Last" invites a group of figures worthy of the American music industry's "Hall of Fame" to participate in the vocal recording, including singer Barbra Streisand, jazz actress Shaka Kang, American pop composer Burt Bacharach and others have covered current pop music songs in the album, such as Christina's "Beautiful", "The Way You Move" by "Wanderer", and some classic songs such as "Unintentional" Whispering" etc.

The album strengthens the performance of the vocal part and mixes in a large number of new sounds such as strings and organs. It should be regarded as one of Kenny G's most satisfying works since his debut.

His breakthrough into popular music has resulted in negative reviews from many music critics, although he remains very popular with the American buying public.

It seems that no Western musician’s music has been as popular in China as Kenny G. Remember that song "Going Home"? The romantic, sad Sax and comfortable rhythm can be found in almost every corner of the city. Not only can you hear the long-haired musician's singing-like playing in hotels, shopping malls, cafes, and trains, but you can also hear the stock market quotes on TV stations, and even accompany the old ladies bargaining in small markets. Mesmerizing melody. His sweetness and tenderness soothe every troubled heart, calling everyone to return to their beautiful home in peace.

For audiophiles, Kenny G's "Live" is definitely an ID card that everyone should have. At that time, if someone didn't know how many minutes and seconds it started and how many seconds it ended. , with Kenny G's diver-like long-breeding skills, he will definitely be ridiculed or even driven away by his peers. I owned this CD earlier at that time. As a result, friends would come to my door every day with the tape to copy, which made me hide for a time and not dare to see people. Thinking about it, I felt a bit "noble".

Over the years, Kenny G has released many new films one after another, but none of them seem to be as sophisticated as the previous "Live". However, when I recently listened to his new album "CLASSICS IN THE KEY OF G", I felt better again, especially the beautiful recording. I highly recommend it.

In terms of music, although the new album is not original, it has a yuppie taste. All 10 tracks are adapted from popular classics, which you can never tire of listening to. Kenny G made extensive use of the Soprano Saxophone (soprano Sax) that he is good at. He not only showed off a lot of applause skills, but also used the sweet tone that can make your teeth stick to extract the irresistible romantic elements of the original song. It sounds like fresh milk added to charcoal-roasted Colombian pure coffee, making you forget March.

I personally recommend the first song on this album, "Summer Time" played by Kenny and George Benson, and the seventh song, "Stranger on the Shore" adapted from the famous song of clarinet master Ake Bilke. people". The flowing and elegant melody is like a blur of smoke, delicate, gorgeous and truly charming. Just listening to these two episodes is worth the entire price of the disc!

The recording can be said to be 100% audiophile-grade and can reach the palace level. The first is the excellent reproduction of weak sounds and details. This makes most of Kenny G's performances not only full of the air of Sax, but also the subtle changes of the music and even the keys of his fingers are fully preserved. You can try the third song "What a Wonderful World", which was synthesized by high-tech and "collaborated" by Kenny G and jazz master Louis Armstrong. Not only is the Saxophone's splashing details reproduced in large quantities, Eminem also The rough singing voice at the bottom of Strong's throat, like "spitting phlegm", is even more textured, and the replay effect on a system with good analytical skills can be called bizarre.

Furthermore, the low frequencies of this disc are plump and meaty, puffy and soft, and they set off the melody with a rich sense of volume. Although there is no scary slap, the listening experience is extremely comfortable. Have you ever experienced that kind of low-frequency extension that is by no means rigid, but is still so fresh and bouncy no matter how high the volume is?
