World’s Best-Selling Instrumentalist Pays Tribute To The Masters on ‘Brazilian Nights’ Set to Release January 27, 2015
Los Angeles, CA (January 9, 2015) – Kenny G, one of the most successful artists in music history is set for yet another career milestone in support of his fourteenth studio album Brazilian Nights, due out January 27, 2015 via Concord Records.
The renowned saxophonist will make a series of major media appearances the week of release including NBC’s The Today Show, The Weather Channel’s Wake Up With Al, MSNBC’s Morning Joe and HuffPost Live. Other interviews that week include People.com, ARISE Entertainment 360, ABC NewsNow, Bloomberg TV, Fox 411 & Fox NewsEdge, Fox News Magazine, OK! TV, Us Magazine, CNBC, The Better Show, Profiles, and Dennis Miller Live. The campaign began in early December with a profile on Oprah’s Where Are They Now Holiday special (airing on OWN) and a feature in The Wall Street Journal.
Brazilian Nights is a mixture of classics and Kenny G originals. Writing five of the ten tracks with longtime collaborator (and co-producer) Walter Afanasieff, the veteran performer plays alto, tenor and soprano sax and dazzles on such cuts as “Bossa Real,” the gently pulsating “April Rain,” and the relaxed yet dramatic flair of the title cut.
“I spent a year and a half studying and embracing the style of the bossa novas from decades ago. I had fun and learned a lot during my “wonderful labor of love” and I truly hope you get the same pleasure from this album that I have experienced when I sit down after a long day and put on my “bossa nova” sounds. Words can’t describe that feeling but hopefully the melodies that I’ve played here will.”
