| | Kenny G Wishes: A Holiday Album CD Kenny G Discography of CDs
WISHES was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
Pop instrumentalist Kenny G. has a thing for seasonal music. WISHES: A HOLIDAY ALBUM, is G's third collection of holiday music and follows on the heels of MIRACLES and FAITH. Delivering the kind of lighter-than-air tone and arrangements that allowed this soprano saxophonist to dominate the world, this Seattle native treats these 10 perennials with great care.
The album draws primarily from the most traditional corners of holiday music, and gorgeous versions of "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring," "Joy To The World" and the lush melody of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful" are sure to put the Christmas spirit into even the heart of The Grinch. Kids get served a jaunty medley of "Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer/Frosty The Snowman" and nobody ends up going home with coal in their stockings.
Personnel: Kenny G (arranger, soprano & tenor saxophone); William Ross, Jorge Calandrelli (conductor); Ramon Stagnaro (nylon string guitar); Randy Waldman (piano); Walter Afanasieff (keyboards, programming); Greg Phillinganes (keyboards); Nathan East (bass); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Paulinho Da costa (percussion); Josh Blinder, Greg Bleck, Robert Conley (programming).

FAITH is the second holiday collection from the world's most popular soprano saxophonist, Kenny G.

On the opening "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!," Kenny G blows sprightly lines over lush strings, acoustic piano, and Rhodes keyboard, making for an appropriately high-spirited version of this Yuletide chestnut. An energetic take on "Sleigh Ride" provides the opportunity for Kenny G to stretch out and take a few spicy solos. "We Three Kings" is delivered ...
