AMG Review of Playlist: The Very Best of Kenny G

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

Part of Legacy's Playlist series that boasts "the life-changing songs, the out of print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are", The Very Best of Kenny G leads off appropriately enough with the smooth jazz giant's biggest hit, "Songbird." From there it's a familiar set that includes most of the obvious career highlights like "Moment" and "Havana," while finding a nice balance between tunes with guest vocalists and those that rely only on Mr. G's impossibly slick saxophone. [Legacy's #Playlist series functions both as a conventional CD and as a CD-ROM, featuring a large .pdf file with complete liner and track info, CD-quality plus mp3-ready files, photos, wallpaper, and other extras.]
