Kenneth Gorelick (born June 5 1956), better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American saxophonist whose fourth album Duotones brought him to fame in 1986. Kenny's main instrument is the soprano saxophone, but he also plays the alto and tenor sax on occasion.

Early life


Kenny was born in Seattle, Washington. His mother rented him his first saxophone, and he learned how to play staying home and practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington Jr.) trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing. At Franklin High School (where he also lettered in golf) he played in the school band. Kenny's high school band director eventually got him his first professional job as sax soloist for a Barry White show Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra in 1976, when he adopted the moniker "Kenny G."
