Yes, I listened for 2 hours. Kenny G is not only an amazing artist but comes across as a really nice guy. I met him years ago backstage before one of his concerts. There were a few of us with full access, he was doing a sound check before the concert, we could hear him, when he finished, his manager said that there would be no time for autographs or photos. Seconds later Kenny comes backstage with a Sharpie in his hand and says, "Ok, who wants an autograph ?" This podcast is worth several re-listens. But now it's 4AM and I'm going back to bed. Thanks guys for doing us a great interview. And thank you Kenny G.
You're very welcome! He's really as nice as he seems - whether it was after his concert a couple years ago, or just before/after filming this - he's really that genuine.
Your determination and hard work got you to this point, but I'm sure my favorite guy Kenny G influenced your inner ambition. Sorry RFDSax he's not your father 😂. Brenda 🦋
I could listen to Kenny for another 2 hours. Thanks for an inspiring interview. I’m probably guilty of being a badged (former) member of the Jazz Police too!
Kenny one of wisest musicians in the music industry still doing what he loves and becoming wealthiest sax 🎷 player on the planet earth. He just does whatever he wants in the music not following any criticism from Jazz purists those who still living in their parents' dodgen
Wow, what an experience! I must admit I am not a fan of Kenny G's music, but he as a person is absolutely unbelievable! So genuinely positive and smart that I have very much admiration for him!
How can you not love and appreciate Kenny music he always think about the quality he gives his fans. I'm a huge fan of this Saxy guy my all time favorite artist. I literally could listen to every show and hear something different, and trust me I'm never bored. If you haven't witnessed Kenny G live make the sacrifice you won't regret it. This interview is fire I love hearing you guys chat kinda like being in the man cave but we get to listen. Love you KG. Brenda 🦋
@@TheHangPodcast I love hearing about Kenny's beginnings and he's a smart ass at his shows (Joking around) I laugh so hard especially when he plays at Jazz Alley. I always thought in his next life he would be a comedian 😂 trust me I know because I be at pretty much every show. Huge Fan of this Saxy guy! You guys captured my attention so you got a new fan until next time. Brenda 🦋
Many moons ago I was a security guard at an office building in Santa Monica, California that had several entertainment attorneys in it. One of them was handling Kenny’s business. That being said, during the holidays one year there Kenny sent over fresh baked gingerbread cookies. They were awesome and I’m a gingerbread fan so I know my cookies. Kenny has always been a good guy.
Thank you Dave and Ryan for doing this. Great to see Kenny talk from a saxophone point of view, very illuminating. An interview long overdue imho and much more interesting than the recent HBO docu about his persona. Bu that might be a sax bias of course. Also great to hear how Kenny learned so much from transcribing and I've always wondered about that how the making of that Funny or Die video was too, epic sketch 😂! This is a fun format, looking forward to see who you'll have in the future. /Jorre
Thanks so much for the kind words, and I'm a big fan of your channel!! Kenny is as genuine and nice off camera as he seems on - really a great guy. We have some good guests already filmed/planned!
This interview is great!!! Kenny G’s enthusiasm is infectious and man he has some gems. I love the George Benson manager story!! So awesome!! 🤩 From his breakdown of how he came up with Songbird, to how he practices and his horn setup story, this is great and inspiring! 👍🏽 “Reps and Time, Reps and Time” - Kenny G Thank you Dave and Ryan for content like this 🙌🏽
Thanks a lot everyone who was involved in this great and inspiring discussion! Great gem! Dave, Ryan, Kenny, thank you! Just one little thought about “Greatness“ here: When Kenny says the world doesn‘t turn away on greatness, the question is, what do you need to become really great these days? Is it really only practicing 3-4 hours a day and really commit yourself fully to your music? I‘d say that surely belongs to it but in the end you also need a unique authentic and very personal idea about how and what to play, about your music and sound. I can imagine that you come up with that in those 3-4 daily hours so maybe it‘s really just that (have to try that myself, don’t you want to as well? 😉). But I have the feeling that you have to put in some deep thought and observation as well. Anyway - really great and inspiring insights! Thanks again! 👏
They are mad that so many people like his music and it's different than what they play (and that people don't like their music as much, and they feel like it's "unfair")
I met Kenny G back in 2019 he did a show in Holland MI and my dad and I went down there to go see him perform and it was a great experience and it was an even more great experience to meet him he's a great guy!
Dave and Ryan.... Exceptional interview.. One of the best I've heard. I met Kenny when he was playing with Jeff Lorber 1981 or 1982 I was playing with a band from CO and we opened 2 concerts for Jeff's band. Kenny was just the way he is now, nice cat just trying to find his sound and his way through the music. I k now Dave Pollack from NJ, I went to Dave's senior recital at William Paterson College. Love both Dave's and Ryan's playing... This was a great Hang Thanks guys...
Wooowww such a great guy! Smart and chill, the most criticized but a lot of things to learn from he, all my respect for Kenny, and thanks for this amazing video guys!
Guys that was an amazing podcast! Thanks so much for having an icon like Kenny G on. Trully loved everything he said. His honesty about putting the time in was so true...most of us just dont have the patience to stick it out. Cant wait for your next podcast!
What an awesome interview and what a treat to hear such an extensive interview...fascinating! I saw him twice in my life...he really is a great showman and makes people happy and it was of the best shows I was able to take my late Mom to. And man, he can play! While my tastes in jazz have moved back to bebop and classic now, I still say Kenny G has made a mark. If people want to denigrate him, that's their right, but he definitely has chops, despite no formal training, and is a heck of a nice guy, which shines through in this interview . Thank you for presenting it.
Loved this session! Kenny G is why I started playing sax 3 years ago. For our 25th Anniversary I wanted to take my wife to Hungary where she has family roots but it was the height of the pandemic. Travel anywhere was restricted. My wife always loved Kenny G and one of his songs was our first wedding dance. 3 months before our anniversary I come up with the bright idea of secretly learning the sax and surprising my wife on our anniversary by playing Kenny G for her. I had a musical background with piano and guitar but had zero knowledge of sax. I didn’t even know there were different kinds of saxes and that they were transposition instruments (what’s that?). The only thing I knew was that it was a single note instrument so how hard could it be to master, right? I had 3 months to master one of Kennys songs. 😂😂 After the debacle of what sax to order I settle on an alto and after the first week I find a transcription of Songbird, I think it was that someone did for alto. After a month I come to the realization that sax doesn’t get mastered in 3 months and neither am I going to have this song learned so I settle on a much simpler version of an Elvis song. Let’s just say my wife was truly surprised as I walked down the hallway of our house with the backing track going and me playing Elvis. She starts crying, then starts laughing, then crying. I’m nervous and get flustered by her reaction. Fast forward to this past February and I played my first gig, if you want to call it that. Entertainment with a group of friends at a rented hall. I secretly learned Forever in Love on my tenor and dedicated and played it for her. Went a little better than the first go-round. Although I have had a musical background since childhood, I never fell in love with music until I picked up the sax. Now I love both!
A Hang Episode EVERYONE Will Luv! This was Fantastic and Kenny G truly is and will Always Make sure Wherever HE is It’s Going to be The BEST From Him because HE is that ‘G’uy! Loved this it was Awesome To Have Him w/This Chat He’s always AMAZING and Every Song HE Shares it is Going to be From ‘His Heart’ b/c You Feel it and it’s going to be Unique and Very SPECIAL! He’s certainly Had One Beautiful Career w/His SAX in it All w/His Hard Work and to be where He is Today! Luv His Creations and This Show was definitely AWESOME .. Thanks HE is AMAZING and This was SPECIAL..
Awesome interview!! I really loved the 2 hours. I was smiling and laughing a lot. And Kenny G is such a great & humble man. Thank you Ryan and Dave for such a great time!
Tote Hosen means indeed dead pants :D who was in charge of putting together the lineup for that day and thought "hey punk and smooth jazz .. why not?" Also, every Gig is Carnegie Hall - that right there is a great attitude!
Hey Guys I have been a Kenny G fan for 30 years. I love playing his tunes at concerts to this day. My band plays Sade from the live album and its a real banger. I have watched all his interviews on TH-cam, but this is by far my favorite. It was really great to hear him talk about his transcription process. Thanks so much!
@@TheHangPodcastI just wished he would’ve talked about his huge hit “Silhouette”. He kept mentioning “Songbird” and I was like “dude, Silhouette was an even bigger hit” LOL! I remember I transcribed the whole thing in a big score paper back when I was a senior in high school in ‘88 when it first came out, first solo I ever transcribed. Kenny is a legend, I’m so glad I watched this whole thing. Not every day one gets to see such a big star talk and interact like a normal person, and what a cool guy. To me the most jaw-dropping moment was when he told the Herbie Hancock story. Anyway, I’m a big fan Ryan and Dave, you guys are great.
Well 😅 sorry for your German experience 😮 Die Toten Hosen (right: the dead pants) are playing German Punkrock. Sad they placed you on that spot, where the audience didn’t expect someone like you. Now, Germany loves you anyway 🎶❣️🎶
Hey there! What a great interview :o I am enjoying the podcast so far and I am curious what the future episodes bring. I wonder if you can have Daro Behroozi from Lucky Chops as a future guest. I'd just love to see that! Have a great day :D
As a sax player I made allot of money doing Kenny G covers thank you Kenny I bought 10mfan alto madness mouthpiece 6 * after watching your videos Dave May I ask you what strength , brand reed do you use on your 10mfan ? Thanks
I appreciate Kenny‘s honesty, and he is a very good sax player. I think his success is inspiring. His music - I don’t really enjoy - it doesn’t bother me, but not exciting either
Well the exact name of that band is "Die Toten Hosen" and their most famous song at that time was and I think still is this one th-cam.com/video/6z8o7qAIlIU/w-d-xo.html .
As a German I have to apologize for my people...there are some people here who appreciate good music but they are rare. Toten hosen (yes, dead pants) are famous here for aome reason....sad but true
Those artist that did Kenny G wrong like that I'm sure have been victims of the jazz police at one time or another. Those artist should apologise to Kenny G. That was a ghastly thing to do and very mean
I love how this whole thing is about making Kenny G as a legitimate jazz artist. Now some will say Miles Davis said don't call it jazz just call it music. Why, because the word jazz was used as a slur. You could be a jazz musician or a legit or legitimate musician but jazz musicians were not legit. Jazz was used as a racial slur. Hating on jazz was about hating on black musicians. Today jazz is on par with classical music as art music. Jazz musicians get respect. It is surprising a rich white guy wants to attach himself to the jazz tradition to give cred to his cheesy pop music. I know you are saying jazz police but I have no apologies for respecting the music and the people that created and developed the music. Not surprised these two are supporting it as teaching jazz on the Internet seems to be about pandering to the instrumental pop and Laufey crowd. When Kenny and Laufey are jazz, jazz is dead.
Kenny never said he is a jazz artist even before this episode. Go listen to your favs and leave Kenny alone. If you could listen with a heart that’s willing to learn and not always ready to bash you could learn something. Kenny can play bebop by the way there’s videos of him playing a tenor right here on TH-cam so please. Sit down.

For those of you that watched the whole episode - Do you agree that Kenny G is reason that I'm here???????
That’s like asking if they agree that 2+2=4
He might have also been playing in the background😂
without Kenny, you wouldn't exist. no doubt about about it!
Your determination and hard work got you to this point, but I'm sure my favorite guy Kenny G influenced your inner ambition. Sorry RFDSax he's not your father 😂. Brenda 🦋
I haven’t seen any clue in the episode proving Mr G is your father.
The homies interviewing the legend of legends, ya love to see it!
I could listen to Kenny for another 2 hours. Thanks for an inspiring interview. I’m probably guilty of being a badged (former) member of the Jazz Police too!
We forgive you! Also you might be seeing him on at another time 👀
This is big if you to admit. Wow.
so excited to see this episode :) toten hosen😅
Loved his authenticity- it was inspiring!
And he's the same off camera and in person as well!
This is sick!!!! Loving this series yall
Thanks man! 🙏 Maybe people will see you on it as well 👀

The Grover Washington junior segment, made me cry. Everybody should see that. happens about 29 minutes and change in.
First gig with Barry White is insane❤️🔥
I think nathan easts first tour was Barry White as well
Kenny G is simply amazing ❤ that’s why he is the greatest of all time. Wonderful podcast
The Greatest Interview of Kenny, I have ever seen!
Thank you so much, guys! 🙏🙏🙏
I am going to wait for another episode with Kenny.
Peace! 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it!

Love it , just love it ! What volume of knowledge and experience, can’t believe it’s all free. Thank you!
You're very welcome!!
Totenhosen literally means "dead pants" and, I believe, is slang for "can't get the equipment up and running"
Love it ❤
Kenny was right about a lot, but he was wrong about 1 thing. 4 hours of listening to him talk about saxophone is exactly what people want and need!
I know right?? We kept saying how people will love it
Well 😅 sorry for your German experience 😮 Die Toten Hosen (right: the dead pants) are playing German Punkrock. Sad they placed you on that spot, where the audience didn’t expect someone like you. Now, Germany loves you anyway 🎶❣️🎶
😂😂
that Elvin Jones record is great. Good choice!

I sure listened to 2 hours 😆
Please tell me you did a video on the 2-page critique of your gig with Ryan!

WOOOOO
I appreciate Kenny‘s honesty, and he is a very good sax player. I think his success is inspiring. His music - I don’t really enjoy - it doesn’t bother me, but not exciting either
This is so cool 😅😂❤
I inow right?!
Wow Kenny is dropping bombs “when he was playing outside to a point that it sounded good enough till he went too far…”
🔥
super
Great information aloha coach Mundo Hawaii
1:11:00 - if you walk to school 10 miles every day you get in real good shape
Tote Hosen was a Punkrock Band back in the days .... bad decission to put Kenny infront of an audience of punks ....
😂
Ryan, I heard it said there are no wrong notes, only unresolved dissonances
Well the exact name of that band is "Die Toten Hosen" and their most famous song at that time was and I think still is this one th-cam.com/video/6z8o7qAIlIU/w-d-xo.html .
As a German I have to apologize for my people...there are some people here who appreciate good music but they are rare. Toten hosen (yes, dead pants) are famous here for aome reason....sad but true
😂 You don't have to apologize! It was just those people at that time - Kenny moved on past it no problem, haha.
While he’s still not my cup of tea, I think this discussion was far more interesting than the HBO special about him. Well done.
Wow - thank you!!
😂
Jazz police are definitely not happy that you sell so many records while their favs are struggling and playing for 50 while you fill up arenas
