5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful IntroTo MEHDl, June 28, 2006
I've always enjoyed Kenny G and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered a group by the name of MEHDl (pronounced medie). After an online search I found their site (S00THINGMUSIC,C0M) and listened to the samples...
I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a Kenny G fan, I find MEHDl to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Kenny G, November 21, 2007
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.
