Read moreWhen Kenny G decided to record a duets album, he knew the right people to call. At Last finds the saxophone superstar paired with vocal giants ranging from Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan to pop stars including LeAnn Rimes, Daryl Hall, Richard Marx, and Earth, Wind and Fire. Instrumental heavyweights pitch in also: trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, saxophonist David Sanborn, pianist David Benoit, and the legendary composer Burt Bacharach. The G man sounds stoked by the A-list company; his soprano and tenor saxophone work is as soaring, lusty, and affecting as it was when he first broke into the big leagues nearly 20 years ago. Reinterpreting classic pop hits puts the leader and his guests on familiar ground; everyone sounds both comfortable and inspired. For ultimate proof of this synergy turn to the album’s final performance, “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” featuring Streisand. The diva -- in magnificent voice -- and the obviously delighted saxman conspire to make beautiful music together.
