Part of
Legacy's
Playlist series that boasts "the life-changing songs, the out of print tracks, the hits, the fan favorites everyone loves, and the songs that make the artists who they are",
The Very Best of Kenny G leads off appropriately enough with the
smooth jazz giant's biggest hit,
"Songbird." From there it's a familiar set that includes most of the obvious career highlights like
"Moment" and
"Havana," while finding a nice balance between tunes with guest vocalists and those that rely only on
Mr. G's impossibly slick saxophone. [
Legacy's
Playlist series functions both as a conventional CD and as a CD-ROM, featuring a large .pdf file with complete liner and track info, CD-quality plus mp3-ready files, photos, wallpaper, and other extras.]
