I have wanted to see Kenny G for years and he's one of my "must see" artist.

Despite the grumblings of true jazz lovers, Kenny G had used his musical talents to successfully blend a pop-oriented appeal with a smooth jazz sound into much success over the years. But even he must have realized that the time had come to take his music into a new direction. With "Rhythm and Romance," it seems he has hit all the right notes! These lovely Latin songs are a natural fit for Kenny as evidenced by such arrangements as the classic "Besame Mucho." The percussions are strong but not overwhelming and you'll soon find yourself wishing you were on a island getaway. I have attended a Kenny G live concert recently and discovered there is much more to this wonderful artist than meets the eye. He is one of the most friendly, outgoing people you could meet and makes every effort to mingle right into his audiences for a more up close and personal experience, even after the show. For Kenny G fans, this album will be another "slam dunk" success story. For the rest of you, put it on when you're having a bad day and watch how fast things change.

With a success record like his, it would be easy for Kenny G to coast at this stage. So it's to the saxophonist's credit that he shifts his signature sound every so slightly in a Latin direction. No one would mistake Kenny for a Mario Rivera or Jimmy Bosch -- his soloing is blissfully ignorant of the rhythmic demands of the clavé, but plenty of more serious jazz musicians made the same gringo moves back in the '50s. Mixing up his Latin bag with Brazilian, tango, and South American rhythms, Kenny's album is almost a nostalgic glimpse at the Ricky Ricardo era, as he plies melodic run over melodic run, skipping across the percolating beat of the bongos. What Kenny G triumphs at on Rhythm & Romance is what he's ...
