Kenny G

Multi-platinum-selling, Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Kenny G returns to the Bank of America Performing Arts Center Thousand Oaks on Wednesday, November 12, where the smooth jazz icon is set to deliver an unforgettable evening of signature hits and selections from his acclaimed recent work. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster , Friday, June 27, at 10AM.

Kenny G is the biggest selling instrumental musician of the modern era, and one of the best-selling artists of all time.  With global sales totaling more than 75-million records and 1.5 billion streams, the jazz icon has accumulated a staggering 24-award nominations throughout his almost 50-year career and has taken home a Grammy Award, American Music Award, two NAACP Awards, and two Soul Train Music Awards.   With classic, top-selling studio albums including Duotones, Silhouette, Breathless, Miracles: The Holiday Album, Heart and Soul and Brazilian Nights, Kenny has maintained a high level of creative excellence through decades of unprecedented commercial success.

At the heart of Kenny’s myriad of accomplishments is his ability to convey deep emotional resonance with his saxophone. This skill is never more apparent than on Innocence, his 20th studio album, released in 2023. The 12-track project’s theme is lullabies, which hold a special place in his heart. Throughout Innocence, Kenny’s signature soprano sax uplifts, soothes and conjures aural nostalgia of the highest order. He also recorded two tenor sax tracks for the album.

For the past few years, Kenny has taken to the internet as new generations of listeners have discovered his music and contemporary hitmakers such as The Weeknd and Jon Batiste have enlisted him for guest appearances on their albums. His posts have become memes and gone viral as he continues to have fun with the whole idea of being his iconic self.
