NEW YORK, NY (November 3, 2015) – In addition to being the biggest selling instrumental musician of the modern era and one of the best-selling artists of all-time, Kenny G can now add international peacekeeper to his resume. John Oliver invited the Grammy® Award winning saxophonist to perform on “Last Week Tonight,” because of his popularity in China, and “uncommon ability to make the people of China stop what they’re doing, and go home to relax.” Kenny performed his mega-hit “Going Home,” or, as Oliver said, “Kenny G is pouring liquid velvet into your ears right now.” Watch the full performance here.

When he’s not harnessing the power of smooth jazz to ease international tension and promote world peace, Kenny G is playing shows to sold-out audiences all over the globe. Between now and the end of the year, fans can catch one of the saxophonist’s live performances in Canada, North America and South America.
