Kenny G's Wife Files For Separation Both parties have hired bigwig lawyers and maybe that's in preparation for a match in divorce court. TMZ reports Kenny has scooped up lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian. The couple has two sons and apparently a bunch of money floating around, it's an estimated 48 million. It’s also not known if they had a prenup, so as you can imagine, both parties will be treading around here lightly. - by Shannon Edwards |

Kenny G Likes to Fly Solo June 5, 2008 – Some people might say spotting Kenny G, Yanni, John Tesh and Michael Bolton on the same tour bus might be a sign of the end of times. Actually, the rumour was that the four musicians were forming a super-group called the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, ok maybe that last part was a lie. Kenny G says he’s not sure where the rumour came from, “I was just as surprised as everybody else when I read it. I like doing my own thing and I think that's what keeps me sounding different and having my own thing, which is just concentrating on my own music and recording it my way and just keeping my brand exclusive." The saxophonist likes to be a solo artist and says you’ll never see him in a super group. Though the four musicians are attacked frequently, sometimes unfairly by critics it would be a daunting task to get them to record and work together. The latest Kenny G album Single Sax-O-Loco peaked at No. on the Smooth Jazz charts. – Kari Graham |

November 15, 2011 - Dave Koz fans are thrilled with his fourth Christmas album. All the songs on his new release “Ultimate Christmas” are compilations from his three previous holiday albums. Now this is ringing in the festivities Koz style!
October 25, 2011 – It was only a matter of time before the Air-Com Radio Network added another station to its line-up. Interestingly, the new station attracts the same demographic as the very popular Smooth Jazz Now – 35-64 adults.
October 24, 2011 – It’s a great time to win an iPad-2! With the Holidays just around the corner you could consider it a great present for yourself or, better yet, give it to the one you love!
October 20, 2011 – This is no ordinary album. In fact, there is nothing normal about this album and that’s what makes this one of the most perfect projects that’s ever come across my desk.
– With two more Smooth Jazz stations (WLOQ in Orlando and Wave/Toronto) giving up on the format this week we thought it was time to mix up the genre, just a bit! “Smooth Jazz Now” has decided to add more life to this format.
– On her third album Colbie Caillat has decided to strategically give us an uptempo summer-vibe. It still sounds like her smash debut “Coco” but this time it’s Colbie with caffeine and it’s positive and fun
– There are not too many things in life as deliciously lazy as Michael Franks voice. The guy could chill out someone on deaths door. Seriously, angst has no place on a Michael Franks record – he’s good at one great thing..making you feel good! 


– Not many groups have stood the test of time like Airborne. Coming in around the time that the NAC format was really starting to cook, 1988, this outfit grew with every project, gig and album. Having just released their most powerful album yet, New Horizon’s, it looks like the world is ready for this, a full dose of positive, social conscious fusion. We sat down with the band to chat about all the twisting, yet beneficial roads taken.
– The smart ones in life know that it’s not how you fall down in life that counts but how you get up. Zach Bandolin has had his fair share of topsy-turvy moments but the guitarist keeps swinging.
- French Smooth Jazz guitar sensation Emmanuel Abitebol, more known as U-NAM, came to fame with his widely acclaimed somophore album ‘Back from the 80’s’ released in 2007.
- Programming Smooth Jazz Radio has allowed me to discover talent over the decades and follow the twists and turns in their career. Such is the case of saxophonist Steve Cole an artist whom has played on numerous number #1 Smooth Jazz hits and been a regular spin on most smooth jazz radio stations play lists.
– There’s always been an understated value to everything that Sade does and sameness to her entire repertoire. That quality of old wine has served the singer/band well… until now. Unlike Norah Jones who has, at least, tried to mix-up-the-pot, Sade really needs to stop wearing the same dress to every party.
– Well, one things for sure, Mindi Abair is not shopping on Main Street anymore. As they say, “run away from the past and eventually it will run into you.”
January 20, 2012- Kenny G may be standing in the ring with his wife of 20 years, Lyndie Benson-Gorelick. According to TMZ she has recently filed papers for a legal separation from the sax player in L.A. County Superior Court stating “irreconcilable differences.” 
Nov. 14, 2008 – I just love it when a Jewish guy gets all hyped up on Christmas. Kenny G is planning a huge radio special for Christmas. Kenny, whose real name is Kenneth Gorelick has a 48 hour special of instrumental Smooth Jazz classics produced by radio consultant Broadcast Architecture.
June 5, 2008 – Some people might say spotting Kenny G, Yanni, John Tesh and Michael Bolton on the same tour bus might be a sign of the end of times. Actually, the rumour was that the four musicians were forming a super-group called the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, ok maybe that last part was a lie.

November 27, 2006 - Broadcast Atchitecture's new Smooth Jazz Network is set to debut in January and the hiring of Kenny G now rounds up the cast of hosts. The saxophonist will host the 10-2PM weekend shift. BA President Allen Kepler says "As he continues his illustrious recording career, hosting this new network show will deepen Kenny's relationship with his fans across the U.S. Working with Kenny is a dream come true for me personally." Kenny adds, "I think it is a great way for me to personally be in touch with the people around the country who have supported my music for many years."
March 27, 2005- Anytime superstar saxophonist Kenny G releases new material, it creates shockwaves heard all over the Smooth Jazz world. But his 2002 release, Paradise, left a little to be desired. It lacked the usual effort and emotion Kenny has always put into his music going all the way back to the Duotones days. So when it was announced "At Last…The Duets Album" was set for release, it was intriguing for two reasons: To hear an improved new effort from Kenny, and to hear more covers of songs from him, after the great success of his "Classics in the Key of G" album. "At Last" certainly gives you a reason to listen, and not just to Kenny himself. More
