Kenny G knows cyclic breathing -- hell, I wish I could do that.
In 1997, a Guinness World Record was set for longest held musical note. Kenny G used circular breathing to sustain an E-flat on a saxophone for 45 minutes and 47 seconds.
:-o and :)
On February 2000, Vann Burchfield set a new Guinness world record for circular breathing, holding one continuous note for 47 minutes, 6 seconds, surpassing Kenny G’s record.
:( and ;_;

E flat is such a great note.

Don't think he'd have been successful if he'd called himself Kenny E. Flatt though. Maybe in bluegrass. As a bluegrass sax player.

I'm getting slight "Celine Dion 33 1/3 book" vibes with that description. Interesting.

He’s a lot better than Kenny H
