Biography

[b]Kenny G[/b] was an artistic alias of [a=Kenneth Goldsmith], an American poet, music critic, and [l=UbuWeb] founding editor. [b]Do NOT confuse with a smooth-jazz saxophonist [a96114][/b]. Goldsmith primarily used the "Kenny G" alias as a radio DJ, hosting a weekly show at [l=WFMU] independent radio station from 1995 till 2010. In 2003, Goldsmith released one of his Kenny G's radio shows as [I][Link][/i] CD in 2003 (distributed by [l=Soleilmoon Recordings]). It was a live, on-air collaboration with [a=People Like Us], a prominent British sound collagist who used to host several WFMU programs of her own ([i][url=https://discogs.com/release/4777176]DO or DIY[/url][/i], for instance, or [i][Link][/i] with Ergo Phizmiz). While running his WFMU show as 'Kenny G,' Goldsmith received numerous misaddressed emails to his more famous namesake, the [b]"other"[/b] Kenny G (pseudo jazz sax player [a=Kenny Gorelick]). In 2006, he published a book-length collection of unedited "Kenny G Letters" at LA-based micropublisher [i]Make Now Press[/i]. Goldsmith also regularly recited some of the Kenny G letters, both on-air and during public readings, which eventually led to a collaboration with [a369376], an aspiring US composer and experimental artist from Connecticut (who also happened to have a "celebrity" namesake saxophonist, [a=John Zorn]). Kenny and Jonathan recorded [i][Link][/i] online album in Nov 2007, freely available at [l=UbuWeb]. Goldsmith also wrote some album reviews and essays under the Kenny G alias, namely "A Popular Guide to Unpopular Music," initially published in 2000 in the American Music Center's webzine (and on Kenny's WFMU homepage). For this manuscript, Kenneth interviewed [a=Joan La Barbara], [a=David Behrman], [a=David Soldier], [a=Stephen Vitiello], and [a=Morton Subotnick]—analyzing how they managed to combine well-established music careers with professional jobs in the record industry, science, education, etc.
