Kenny G's seond album, 1983's G FORCE, refines the pop-oriented smooth jazz sound the saxophonist debuted with 1982's KENNY G, and includes "Tribeca" and "Sunset At Noon."



G Force is Kenny at his R&B best! with that Great Kashif sound! here is another great cd in that smooth jazz tradition that is good all the way through... I do hope in the near future Kenny will return to this type of production and vary his sax playing.

"I've Been Missin'You' is some of Kenny's strongest playing! ~ G. Carter



I bought this on vinyl in '83 and it blew me away. It stood the test of time 20 years later. Great direction from Kashif and music production from Wayne Brathwaite. Combine that with Kenny's awesome playing and you have a masterpiece. Kenny took a lot of backlash from the Jazz community for so-called "selling out" on his latter albums. I never understood this because he was always a great sax player. It basically all stemmed from jealousy in my opinion. Even the late great saxophonist George Howard voiced his opinion about Kenny's popularity. I have both vinyl and the CD version and it seems like the vinyl sounds a little better than the CD. ~ Tall Paul
