Quite often, so-called smooth jazz artists who are mindlessly predictable in the studio become a lot more spontaneous and risk-taking on-stage. Playing for themselves instead of pandering to radio, they’re much more inclined to let loose. But Kenny G Live was only a slight improvement over 1986’s Duotones and 1988’s Silhouette, the knee-jerk studio recordings that made him a superstar. Released as both a two-LP set and as a single CD, Kenny G Live contains only a few decent offerings. The saxophonist actually lets loose on the funky “Midnight Motion” and the catchy “I’ve Been Missin’ You,” which he co-wrote with R&B singer Kashif for 1983’s G Force. But he demonstrates how boring, corny, and toothless his playing can be on “Esther,” “Home,” and “Silhouette.” Equally soulless are “Don’t Make Me Wait for Love” (which features the very contrived pop singer Michael Bolton), and two new studio offerings, “Going Home” and “Uncle Al.” Kenny G Live’s weaknesses by far outweigh its strengths, making this a release that should be avoided.

Throughout the 1990s, Kenny G was the whipping boy of the jazz world — the instrumentalist who hardcore jazz improvisers loved to bash when the subject of smooth jazz came up. Kenny G’s huge following responded that the attacks were silly and misguided because the saxman was the first to admit that he was primarily a pop instrumentalist and wasn’t pretending to be anything else. True, it was silly for jazz artists to judge Kenny by hard bop standards when hard bop (or even soul-jazz or fusion) was a long way from what he was going for. And Breathless isn’t bad because it’s a pop album or because it’s commercial; it’s bad because of its complete lack of soul, substance or creativity. There’s nothing even remotely tasteful about interchangeable tunes like “Sentimental,” “Forever In Love” and “End of the Night,” all of which are about as bloodless and schlocky as it gets. Always sounding like he’s on automatic pilot, Kenny takes no risks whatsoever and sees to it that one song is as shamelessly contrived as the next. Even the presence of the great R&B crooner Aaron Neville on “Even If My Heart Would Break” can’t save this one-dimensional release. Whether you’re into pop or jazz, Breathless is unlistenable.
