Ultimate Kenny G is the latest Smooth Jazz CD put out by the extremely talented Kenny G who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Kenny G fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Ultimate Kenny G has a nicely varied, mix of 19 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album. Overall Ultimate Kenny G is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

Ultimate Kenny G is one of those CDs that grabs your attention with the first note of the first song and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the last track in the collection.

While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are Track 2, Havana, Track 6, Silhouette, and The Moment which is Track 17

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is Track 11 – Songbird. This is a great track!
