4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Kenny., January 24, 2006

This review is from: Essential Kenny G (Audio CD)

The "Greatest Hits" and "Ultimate Collection" are now put to shame. "Essential Kenny G" is 2 CDs, and 31 tracks of every major and minor hit of his. The obvious choices are here like "Songbird" and "Silhouette", but we also get a ton of other stuff. Throughout the 2 CDs we get hits, covers, soundtrack songs, Christmas songs, and more. It tends to jump around a bit, but it's all here and that's the important part. As a casual fan I can't think of one missing song. Some may not like the music of Kenny G, but I call it "Beautiful".

I absolutely adore Kenny G. His concerts are the best value and he hasn't gotten a big head (although he could). This CD is awesome. Anything he does is a part of our collection. Cannot believe we missed this when it first came out. Fabulous music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Bad Collection, December 16, 2010

This review is from: Essential Kenny G (Audio CD)

This is the nice Kenny G compilation & the best one offered so far. It contains alot of Kenny's best hits & duets & the sound quality is terrific. But it is no way a complete collection. As was the case with his other G/H albums, there is not one song from Kenny's first 3 albums: Kenny G, G Force and Gravity represented here & that is a real shame because IMHO, they contain some of his most exciting & catchiest songs. Granted his funky R&B style during the early 80's was quite a bit different from say the "Wedding Album" but they should still have gotten some notice here. Songs like "Tribeca", "G-Force" & "Japan" would have fit in nicely on this collection & sound very similar to the pop/rock style of his Duotones album which thankfully is represented here. Other than that though, this is a fine collection & it offers a great overview of Kenny's long & successful career.

On a side note, i'm gonna give this album 5 stars instead of 4 so that I can counter some of the Anti-Kenny G trolls that are doing all the 1 star "reviews" here.

Happy listening.
