Release date: 10/25/1994 Original release date: 1994 Label: Arista Records Producer: Kenny G Studio Pieces in Set: 1 Catalog#: 18767 Distributor: BMG Desc: Performer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Notes: Personnel: Kenny G (soprano & tenor saxophone), Walter Afanasieff (various instruments), Dan Huff (guitar), William Ross (strings), Randy Waldman (piano), Randy Jackson (bass), John Robinson (drums).

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Over the past decade, since first gaining popularity with the Jeff Lorber Fusion, soprano saxophonist Kenny G has become one of the most celebrated instrumental stars in all of popular music. By fusing elements of contemporary jazz with the most lyrical aspects of pop and R&B, Kenny G has created an enduring sound signature and a fan base that rivals that of any vocalist. It is precisely these lyric, vocal gifts that make Kenny G's sound so instantly identifiable. And on MIRACLES: THE HOLIDAY ALBUM, the saxophonist has turned his attention towards some of the most enduring, engaging melodies in popular music. Inspired in part by the birth of his son, the album has a mellifluous melodic quality, a reassuring warmth, that transcends the holiday season. Part of the credit must go to composer-arranger Walter Afanasieff, who has wielded his production skills for some of the biggest names in the business. Afanasieff proves himself an ideal harmonic foil on most every instrument you hear on MIRACLES, collaborating to particular effect on a pair of gentle originals: the title tune and "The Chanukah Song." Elsewhere, Kenny G and Afanasieff work their magic on several holiday chestnuts (including touching renditions of "Silent Night" and "Brahms Lullaby"), but it's the saxophonist's earthy work on tenor (a gospelish "Silver Bells" and a lilting "Greensleeves") that lingers long after the disc stops spinning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES Date: 1994 Length: 35:49 minutes Label: BMG/ARISTA Genre: JAZZ Category: Christmas CREDITS Performers Walter Afanasieff : Bass, Drums, Organ, Piano Kenny G. : Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor) Dann Huff : Guitar Randy Jackson : Bass Randy Waldman : Piano Production Credits Walter Afanasieff : Arranger Dana Jon Chappelle : Engineer Gary Cirimelli : Digital Programming, Synclavier Programming Robert Damper : Arranger Kenny G. : Arranger, Main Performer, Producer Humberto Gatica : Engineer David Gleeson : Engineer Bernie Grundman : Mastering Mick Guzauski : Mixing Noel Hazen : Assistant Engineer William James Ross : Conductor, String Arrangements Christopher Stern : Design Tim White : Photography |
