My 2 favorite saxophonists 😊 They both helped inspire me to play sax ❤ I have been playing 30 years now all started in 5th grade. Thank you to both for inspiring me !!!!!
Dave is such a class act, as well as a fantastic performer oh and Kenny, can play his ass off. One of the best Tenor tones alive today. This from a bebop snob
Very cool to see these two players together. I play harmonica, 48 years and was full-time at it by age 20. I started in Bluegrass Bands and then played full-time & toured in a Country Honky Tonk band, later I had a Swing Dance, Jazz, Blues, R&B band for 10 years that started with me doing a concert and hiring back-up musicians. Some of that show was songs by Kenny G (like "The Moment") that I had adapted to harmonica. I had been playing with Kenny G records for a couple hours a day for 2-3 years. After I started the Swing Dance Band someone introduced me to Dave Koz and I started doing the same (also David Sanborn, Eric Marienthal, Maceo, etc.) playing such songs as Dave's "Sax Man" & "Shakin the Shack"....people loved harmonica and saxophone (I usually had 1-2 horn players on board also) together. So, for both of these great players by spending time to learn from them by studying their styles I have benefitted in my musical expressions.
Wonderful. I'm so in disagreement with the harsh critics of musicians such as Dave and Kenny. I'm a jazz guy myself, but I'm not a purist. I listen to a variety of music. The simple matter of fact is, these two fellows do what they do, and it's great. They're wonderful musicians, they appeal to a large audience, They're jazz, they're pop, they're soul, they're funk etc. And that's perfectly fine, I'm really happy they're doing their thing. They're actually helping expose the genre of jazz to a wider audience as wel, I believe so. it's all connected, related. Kenny's New Standards is so good👍🎷
@DaveKoz needs to do the video packaged version of his show. I love hearing him every wknd, but he brings it so alive I wish i could see all these cool guys chat....
This was so good . We in this part of the world Guyana South America can only hear and see you guys on Cds Dvds and utube. This was really good l play alto and tenor . I also repair saxes. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
This popped up in my feed today, I just had to watch it again,Kenny G and Dave Koz make it all look so easy, because they are two of the best to ever pick up saxophones 🎷, but they have worked so hard to get where they are, and must be respected for that. And you know, I love the stories they told about meeting Metallica and meeting Paul Stanley, fans don’t know, as they are so quick to judge or make up a beef between celebrities, but people in the business of entertainment really respect other people in entertainment, no matter what they do, like Kenny G said, as long as they are putting their heart and their soul in their craft, that’s what’s important, and that what’s respected.
These guys are two of the BEST jazz artists. All you need here is Euge Groove, another talented jazz artist. I remember the first time I heard Dave Koz, he played the theme song to General Hospital. I am a big fan guys, keep putting out that relaxing, quality jazz music.
@@sundayaito4366 They really need to have a concert featuring these 3 legendary jazz performers. They all are very classy performers. Jazz is underrated, doesn't receive the attention it deserves, I really love it! In these very stressful times it's always nice to put some jazz on & unwind.
Dave Koz and Kenny G were responsible for SO SO many kids learning the sax in the 80s-90s. They singlehandedly brought life back into the dying Instrument companies and created many more.
As a lover of smooth jazz and jazz music I love Dave and Kenny. I have fond memories of listening to Kenny g Christmas albums when I was a kid im now 36 and love jazz more than ever now
I did enjoy the conversation. Honest, dynamic; an opportunity to know a little bit more about how they get inspired, their favorite melodies, and a lot more. Good advice to his son. I laughed when talking about metal, and the tough guy approached him. Pretty cool he supports his sons, and let them know that they must be patient to get to the top. Good to see their appreciation for each other as musicians and friends.
WOW WOW WOW, as an enthusiast of smooth jazz genre and saxophone, I truly ship both of you into my daily collection, truly an enjoyment. Thanks, Mr. Koz, for putting this interview together. Truly a great present!
I first saw Kenny G play at the Playboy Jazz Festival in the 80s. (I was playing with the Long Beach State #1 band.). Count Basie Band was there and then this long-haired soprano sax dude shows up. Turns out, he’s pretty good!
Wow two of my favorite smooth jazz musicians Dave & Kenny, me and three half of my family members love both of y'alls music especially for Ken through the whole entire 1980s/90s but then you Dave the 90s/2000s we love both of you so much jazz music was played on the radio station. Never stopped listening, good job guys!!!💿💿🎷🎷🎵🎶
Dave, me being a fan of yours isn't about colour, sex, race, it is about your heart and your joy that you bring when you perform, I have seen you live in Markham, Ontario and you have energy, passion and are a tremendous sax player. Keep shining man, because it is inspiring!
This Interview was ABSOLUTELY Amazing and Dave You are Always A Sweetheart! Luv what You Create W/Your Music and Share Always and Kenny G explaining How He Created New Standards from ‘old Jazz Standards’ it is absolutely Incredible and unbelievable How He Makes Sure His Music is Unique because it Does Hv a Way to Go Further When You Listen to it and How It Touches The Heart! What Is Shared is so Loved and HE Has a Way that You Feel Each Note played He is A Very Unique Guy just Being Who He is but You are Too! Loved This Big Time an Awesome Interview and Really Enjoyed This!
I admire Kenny's confidence and growth throughout the years; it's great 👍 that he has come around to respecting the masters of yesterday to the point of his paying homage to them, and copying fragments of their solos - which we all do, or have done at times. Jazz players wanted Kenny G to have acknowledged the fact that the "Quiet Nights" solo he did was that of Cannonball's and not his; that he failed to reveal it, or to give credit to Julius "Cannonball" , the great alto saxist. You are too rich to have demanded a $cut from the Getz' project, Kenny. 👍 Good man you were for refusing! When I heard "Songbird", I thought 🤔 it to be a remake of "Japan" which Kenny himself did a couple of years ago with keyboardist Jeff Lorber (sp) Congratulations to your boys, Kenny! (Free up the dollars to them, won't you?) No golfing! No cycling! No flying any more instead of "saxophoning" for 2-3 hrs., Kenny? Congratulations on Kenny G's Engineering Abilities! Great interview 👍 👏
You Gentleman went waybeyond just an Interview! You let your guards down!!!! Like a Phone Call! How much that says...how Full and Cool to hear! Best to Max and Noah! Say No to Botox. Yes to New Standards! You both handled it so well playing with Jeff...a different pace and style! There is still Sirius XM! Cannonball Fan! Thank You!
Love this interview with two awesome saxophonist 🥰🎷Dave your so humble just like Kenny is🙏Hope to come out and see one of your amazing shows soon in Cali🙏
What a great conversation between two of the greatest entertainers in Smooth Jazz - Dave Koz and Kenny G ! Hope you continue performing concerts in Phoenix! Most enjoyable - Coming to Mesa Arts Center or MIM this holiday season?
@@arnoldlinde4238 i love that city. In san diego here. Also just curious. Seems to me you can appreciate smooth jazz music and funk. Wanted to ask you if you like the kind of music I post on my channel daily which is new smooth jazz music. Please give me a look 👀. I will be forever grateful 👏.
Dave You were awesome I loved seeing you guys talk together, and your questions to Kenny G was exciting as informative. Kenny when it comes to showcasing your heart by means of your music it's the most beautiful sound ever. I'm grateful you pursued a career with the Saxophone. I really enjoyed the documentary "Listening To Kenny G " Dave thank you for sharing this heartwarming interview I look forward to hearing from you again. You legends rock! Butterfly 🦋 #davekoz #listeningtokennyg #documentary #NewStandards #KENNYG2022
dug it! love both you guys. unfortunately some of my musical friends are a bit snobbish about kenny's playing but i have always enjoyed and appreciated his artistry as well as yours dave, especially the summer horns and your recent collab with cory wong.
Love you two and awesome conversation guys! By any chance can I get a refund of all the CD's I bought that I no longer use as I can readily access all your music online? I mean, I seriously have MOST of your music in CD's that I spent a good coin in college that I don't use/play. My CD player is in storage (I need a garage sale).
Love u guys! All the best of success to you both. This was a refreshing interview: very natural and inspiring. (I must go now as I have 3 minutes of practice I to do!)
This was so therapeutic. Two of the sax players I've emulated myself after, having a conversation about saxophone and life. My life is complete.
This interview is a dream come true.
My 2 favorite saxophonists 😊 They both helped inspire me to play sax ❤ I have been playing 30 years now all started in 5th grade. Thank you to both for inspiring me !!!!!

Two saxophone legends!
I loved this interview, very nice
Speachless. Just 2 great musicians. Hi from România everyone.
I admire Kenny's confidence and growth throughout the years; it's great 👍 that he has come around to respecting the masters of yesterday to the point of his paying homage to them, and copying fragments of their solos - which we all do, or have done at times.

You are too rich to have demanded a $cut from the Getz' project, Kenny.
👍 Good man you were for refusing!
When I heard "Songbird", I thought 🤔 it to be a remake of "Japan" which Kenny himself did a couple of years ago with keyboardist Jeff Lorber (sp)
Congratulations to your boys, Kenny!
(Free up the dollars to them, won't you?)
No golfing! No cycling! No flying any more instead of "saxophoning" for 2-3 hrs., Kenny?
Congratulations on Kenny G's Engineering Abilities!
Great interview 👍 👏
Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (sp)
Loved seeing these guys together. Two of my favorites. Great interview, loved it. Love you both. Stay safe!
Really missed these from the Dave Koz Radio Show as I was tuning in when I was still in uni. Hope Dave would start a podcast.
