"Kenneth Gorelick, born in Seattle, in 1956, grew up there, in a middle-class Jewish family, and, in high school, was recognized as a saxophone virtuoso. His school band had a resident composer, James Gardiner, who, in an interview with Lane, describes the young Kenny as an extraordinary sight-reader. Chosen to deliver a brief solo in a 1974 concert at the Seattle Center Opera House with Gardiner’s professional ensemble, Kenny—instead of improvising a brief cadenza, as Gardiner had intended—held a single note for ten minutes, with a technique known as circular breathing (in effect, breathing in through the nose while blowing the sax), and got a standing ovation. According to Gardiner, “That was the moment little Kenny Gorelick became the G-Man.”

📽"Listening to Kenny G" streaming on HBOMax featuring James Gardiner 🎶
🎼 Kenny G went to Franklin High School, where he played with the award-winning Franklin JazzLab, a groovy ensemble that had its own composer in residence: James Gardiner. Among the talking heads in the doc — jazz scholars and critics who alternately tear down and seriously consider Kenny G — Gardiner stands out as someone who knows the musician personally and recognized his talent from the start, even getting him a transformative early gig with Barry White...

But for me, the most genuinely emotional moment in this fascinating film is when Gardiner visits his former student after many years. Their joy in reunion is palpable. The two chat amiably while walking down a path toward Kenny G’s Malibu studio, where he shows off his latest recordings, still seeking approval from his old teacher."

Variety Film Interview: "James Jim Gardiner, a Black composer who helped inspire Gorelick in high school, remembers the first time his former student did that onstage, extending a note for 10 minutes. He describes it as the moment Kenny G "found his soul"..." Where did Kenny G get his signature sound? Following a music recommendation from Gardiner in high school...That's where the radio stations came to dub Kenny G's genre of music: "smooth jazz."
🎼🎶💜🤩💜🎶🎵

Say what you will, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Kenny G. I’m a sucker for the pure, spun-sugar sax appeal of instrumental hits like “Songbird,” “Silhouette” and the aptly named “Sentimental.…
