Kenny G Tickets Continued
In 1981, Kenny G signed with Arista Records as a solo
artist. He has released many solo albums and collaborated with
various artists including Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Natalie Cole and Aretha Franklin. Influenced by the likes of Grover
Washington Jr., his own albums are usually classified as smooth jazz,
though there are many in the music community who categorize his
albums more as adult contemporary.
In 1997, 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 forty five minutes,
forty seven seconds, a record he still officially holds. However, in
1998, a sax player by the name of Geovanny Escalante from Costa Rica
claimed that he held an E Flat for ninety minutes, forty five
seconds. This attempt is considered unofficial, as the Guinness Book
of World Records judges were not present at the event, which is
required for an official entry in the book.
