Kenny G--the incomparable musician with the straight sax, the flowing hair, and some of the most memorable melodies in history--reveals the man behind the music in this indelible, honest, and funny memoir.

He's world-renowned as the best selling instrumentalist of all time, but there's a lot about Kenny G that even his legions of devoted fans have never known--until now.

In this heartfelt, funny, and fascinating memoir, Kenny G shares how skinny Kenneth Gorelick, the kid who got hassled for his lunch money in a Seattle high school, became one of the most celebrated and revered virtuosos in the music industry. He uncovers how he's managed to rise above the fray, tune out the critics, and live a life filled with happiness and humor.

Few people know of Kenny G's musical roots as the sole white guy in one of the coolest funk bands of the seventies, or as the teenage back-up musician for everyone from Barry White to Liberace. As an artist he's dedicated to turning the next generation on to jazz heroes like Grover Washington, John Coltrane, and Stan Getz. A man who takes his music seriously but himself not so seriously, Kenny G lets readers behind the scenes to see how he creates his unique sound and unforgettable songs. Along the way, he offers life lessons in discipline, determination, and dedication.

Kenny G: One Note at a Time leads readers on a tour of one of the great musical careers of the twentieth century, from the time he pulled a fast one on the Johnny Carson show--a bold gamble that launched his stardom--to famed duets with legends like Whitney Houston, Frank Sinatra, and more.

As Kenny G likes to say, "Try it. You'll have the best sax you ever had."
