O’s Notes: Legendary smooth jazz saxophonist Kenny G returned to the recording studio after several years to produce Brazilian Nights. He spent at least 18 months embracing the Latin vibe and his efforts yield positive results. It is as laid back and relaxing as the title suggests with ten Bossa nova classics. It is absent of any pyrotechnics; a class outing that will work in many settings, especially a dinner party.
