5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to learn the secret trade of Kenny G, February 21, 2007

By	Rei Suryana (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book shows how Kenny G transformed a very simple song into a powerful song that steals a lot of people's heart. I agree with a lot of musicians that Kenny G harmonic and melodic vocabulary was extremely limited, mostly to pentatonic based and blues-lick derived patterns. But I want to learn the secret trades that makes a lot of sax player jealous fueled by the fact that he sells an enormous amount of records while not being anywhere near a really great player in relation to the standards that have been set on his instrument over the past sixty or seventy years.
The transcription of the songs are pretty accurate and the author played the soprano sax pretty well to mimic Kenny G Sound.

This is a very nice book, specially for understanding the way Kenny G performs his licks which make him very acknowledgeable. simpley waht I expected.
