Michael J. Thomas On The Perception That Kenny G Is the Only Sax Player in The World
Kenny G has become become the poster child for the saxophone all over the world. The problem with that is...he's not alone. The sax, of course, is one of the most popular instruments in Jazz and Smooth Jazz and there are many players like Dave Koz, Boney James and Mindi Abair who have become superstars in Smooth Jazz, for instance, who have their own styles of playing. Michael J. Thomas is an up-and-comer in Jazz and has no beef with Kenny G whatsoever but he's hoping that perception soon changes on how many sax players there are out there.

We chatted with Thomas about his big hit, “Baby Coffee” which peaked at #8 on the Billboard charts.
