Kenny G – The Artist/s

Kenneth Bruce Gorelick (born 1956), known professionally as Kenny G, is an American smooth jazz saxophonist. His 1986 album Duotones brought him commercial success. Kenny G is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with global sales totalling more than 75 million records. His fourth studio album, Duotones, sold over five million copies in the U.S. alone. It featured the songs “Songbird”, and “Don’t Make Me Wait for Love”, which featured vocals from Lenny Williams in 1987. Kenny G worked in the mid-to-late 1980s with jazz and R&B artists such as George Benson, Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin. 

Songbird – The Song

‘Songbird’ is a song by Kenny G, played on a soprano saxophone, and the third single from his 1986 album Duotones. It became an international hit and is one of his most popular songs.

The Thrush – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a Thrush , a common songbird found in the UK garden.  A songbird is a bird belonging to the clade Passeri of the perching birds (Passeriformes). Another name that is sometimes seen as the scientific or vernacular name is Oscines, from Latin oscen, “a songbird”. The group contains 5000 or so species found all over the world, in which the vocal organ typically is developed in such a way as to produce a diverse and elaborate bird song. The Thrush is a common songbird in the UK. Thrushes are plump, soft-plumaged, small to medium-sized birds, inhabiting wooded areas, and often feeding on the ground. Thrushes build cup-shaped nests, sometimes lining them with mud. They lay two to five speckled eggs, sometimes laying two or more clutches per year. Both parents help in raising the young. In almost all cases, the nest is placed on a branch; the only exceptions are the three species of bluebird, which nest in holes. Most species are grey or brown in colour, often with speckled underparts.
