Reconditioning our minds to better serve our bodies is imperative. Millions of people talk about it every day. Let’s stop talking, join minds and make it happen. Who better than you?

He has hailed as the gatekeeper of the New Orleans piano legacy, following Professor Longhair and James Booker.

KENNY G - THE HOLIDAY SHOW

17 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Lyric Opera House, 140 West Mt. Royal Avenue, Baltimore, MD
Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 8pm

Join us for an evening with world renowned jazz saxophonist Kenny G. With his seamless arrangements and astonishingly long note- holding ability, multi-platinum superstar and Grammy winner Kenny G has enjoyed a constant presence on Billboard’s Top Ten charts for almost two decades. Kenny has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, earning him top honors as the best-selling instrumental artist of all time. In 1997, Kenny G earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone. He held an E-flat for forty five minutes and 12 seconds in the Hopkins-Bright Auditorium in New York City. That same year, Kenny G's song "Havana", from his album The Moment, was remixed and released to dance clubs in the U.S. These mixes went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Party Chart in April of 1997, giving Kenny his first number one of this chart. He was influenced by the likes of saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. and the lyricism of Barry Manilow. Kenny received success quite early on, with both G Force and Gravity, his second and third studio albums respectively. Those were topped by his fourth studio album, Duotones, which sold over five million copies in the U.S. alone. His fifth studio album, Breathless, became the number one best selling instrumental album ever, with over 15 million copies sold, of which 12 million were in the U.S. He broke another record when his first holiday album, Miracles, sold over 13 million copies, making it the most successful Christmas album to date.
