HBO Documentary ‘Listening to Kenny G’ Out Now

Directed by Penny Lane, Listening to Kenny G takes a humorous but incisive look at the best-selling instrumentalist of all time – and quite possibly one of the most famous living musicians. The fourth installment in the Music Box series, the film investigates the artist born Kenny Gorelick – who took the pop charts by storm with his 1986 breakthrough single, "Songbird" – exploring his talent for playing jazz so smoothly that a whole new genre, "Smooth Jazz," formed around him, and questioning fundamental assumptions about art and excellence. In his own words, Kenny G speaks candidly about his musical background, his stringent work ethic, and his controversial standing in the jazz canon – along with insights from fans and critics alike.

You can stream on HBO and HBO Max now.

Kenny G’s new album ‘New Standards’ — as discussed in the film — is out everywhere on December 3. Order merchandise or the album and stream, here.
