Personal in Bloomington, MN

The late
Kenny G
of R&B gave his personal best on these suave yet funky soul grooves, backing his very original soprano sax work with the likes of guitarist
Paul Jackson, Jr.
, keyboardist
Preston Glass
, and top R&B producer
George Duke
.
Howard
's horn is very agreeable, melodic and often exciting in its sense of playfulness, but a few less vocals would make it stand out even more.
Personal
is a must buy for sax lovers and instrumental fans who like to shake their booties. Before his death later in the decade,
released a slew of popular R&B sax albums that were even better than this. Top cuts include
"Uptown"
and
"I'm in Effect."
