Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Like its predecessors, Kenny G's Breathless is a collection of tuneful, easy-listening instrumentals baited with a couple of pop-soul vocal numbers. This album is built on Kenny G's most obvious strengths: his knack for writing hummable pop hooks and his ability to play those radio-friendly melodies in a breathy, fluid style that invites the listener to lie back and relax. When it comes to background music that's slightly catchier and peppier than most new age music, Kenny G is a master of his genre. The titles of Kenny G's instrumentals on are a good clue to his approach: "Sentimental", "The Joy of Life", "Forever in Love" and "The Wedding Song". Sentimental, in the sense of simplifying life to a set of comfortable feelings, is a good adjective for Kenny G's music, for even his wordless instrumentals push the listener's warm glow buttons while ignoring anything more complicated. The saxophonist himself programmed many of the drum, bass and keyboard parts on Breathless, contributing to the sense that everything's running on autopilot. --Geoffrey Himes

KENNY G IS GREAT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breathless (Audio CD)
THIS ALBUM AND THE MOMENT ARE MY FAVORITES OF KENNY G OTHER THAN FAITH AND MIRACLES. THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF SONGS THAT I DON'T THINK ARE GREAT, WHICH IS WHY I GAVE IT 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5.

Music for the masses,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breathless (Audio CD)
I've never been able to comprehend the popularity of Kenny G, as well as his label as a "Jazz Musician". About the closest association I can make with Kenny G and Jazz is the fact that his mind numbing music is played predominately on a soprano sax. If I had to put a genre on his music, I'd have to lean towards soft rock or easy listening, i.e. the fast food of the music industry. And Kenny-boy is truely the super-sized version of it all.People can call this good music and enjoy it all they want. I'm not going to tell you want you can listen to. But please, please, stop insulting the jazz genre and it's great history by lumping in Kenny G. If you want good jazz go find some Coltrane, Miles Davis, or Charlie Parker for starters. You don't have to be a so-called purist to enjoy the good stuff that's been around.

Melodic harmony from master Kenny G,
By "kaluahjeff" (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breathless (Audio CD)
When searching for an album with the perfect blend of instrumental classics and hip, on the edge musicianship, you'll never go wrong with the saxophone sultan himself, Kenny G...Breathless is a great attempt at trying cutting edge music formulas basically by himself. Kenny outdoes himself in such tunes as "Homeland" and "By the Time this Night is Over". Kenny's instrumentals of "Sentimental" and "The Joy of Life" will flat out knock your socks off. His musical wizardry and brute talent shows itself throughout Breathless. You'll love Kenny on his masterous sax as he can easily either bring down the house with his incredible volume or rock a baby to sleep with his mellow tones of saxophone harmony. You can't go wrong with Breathless by Kenny G.
