Early life

Kenny was born in Seattle, Washington,[2] and first came into contact with a saxophone when he heard someone performing with one on The Ed Sullivan Show.[1] He learned how to play under the direction of local trumpeter Gerald Pfister and by practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington, Jr.), trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing.[1] At Franklin High School he failed to get into the jazz band when he applied,[3] although was accepted the following year when he tried again.[4] He also played for his high school golf team,[4] a sport which he had loved ever since his older brother, Brian Gorelick, introduced it to him when he was ten years old.[4]. Brian Gorelick is currently a music professor and choir conductor at Wake Forest University.

Gorelick's 1999 single, "What A Wonderful World" stirred controversy among the jazz community regarding the overdubbing of Louis Armstrong's classic recording. A common criticism was that such a revered recording by a musician known especially for improvisation should not be altered.[12][13][14][15][16] The "duet" was produced by David Foster who also recorded the Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole duet. Gorelick stated at the time,"...I didn't want to spoil the original. I said, 'Whatever we do, if we're not going to make it better, let's throw it away and we won't do it.' So (Foster) guaranteed that it would be better, and I hope that we did a good job on it."[17] Some columnists countered the criticisms suggesting such a recording would bring classic jazz to a wider audience.[18] Nevertheless, Kenny G fans considered the live performance of this duet with Armstrong on a video taped backdrop a "show stopper."[19] Additionally, Gorelick has stated that all the proceeds from this single go to his Kenny G Miracles Foundation which "funnel(s) the money to charities to purchase musical instruments and to supplement funding for the arts in schools."[20] What a Wonderful World was written by songwriters Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, first performed by Louis Armstrong, and released as a single in early fall 1967. ...
