” is an insightful, thought provoking look at the easy-listening saxophonist’s successful career in music. Lane chronicles the saxophonist’s rise to fame while also, humorously, exploring the love and the intense hate his music incites. Film screens in theBill Simmons contacted me and asked me to pitch him ideas for a music documentary. I really wanted to work with him, but I was like I can’t think of a category of documentary that I’d be less interested in.
No. He’s going to be at the premiere. In that one scene you see him change his mind. He’s like, “No. You can’t show that video.” But then I promise that I’ll make sure everyone knows he hates it. Then he’s OK with it. I love that. He’s just a really reasonable person. It wasn’t obvious who should be the [featured] critics. In every other music documentary, it’s like, “Get the person who wrote the biography of the artist.” But in this case, no one has written a f****ing biography of Kenny G and no one is going to write one. So it was really more about identifying people who had a sense of humor and nuanced way of viewing the world.
