The world’s most renowned saxophonist, Kenny G, returns to The Orleans Showroom July 10, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m.

A longtime aviator, Kenny is no stranger to risk-taking. After years of playing professionally with groups like Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra and Jeff Lorber Fusion, Kenny signed with Artista Records in 1982 and three critically-acclaimed jazz albums later, he was on his way to stardom.

Kenny’s big moment came in 1988 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. That night he launched into “Songbird,” the landmark of his fourth album Duotones, and a star was born. From there, Kenny went on to become a multi-platinum sensation, collaborating with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole and Frank Sinatra. His next studio albums, Silhouette and Breathless were extremely successful, the latter becoming the biggest selling instrumental record in U.S. history with more than 12 million copies sold.

In 1994, Kenny broke another record with his holiday compilation, Miracles. The album was Kenny’s first to hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, became the best-selling holiday album of all-time. In 1996,

Kenny teamed with artist and producer Babyface for “The Moment” which featured two collaborations “Everytime I Close My Eyes” and “That Somebody Was You” with Toni Braxton. In 2002, Kenny took his audience to the islands with the soulful album Paradise, which featured the hit track “All the Way” with Brian McKnight.

In 2004, Kenny delivered an all-guest-star album entitled At Last…The Duets Album featuring Barbara Streisand, Burt Bacharach, LeAnn Rimes and Earth, Wind and Fire.

With each new recording, Kenny begins from a personal place — the sounds that move him.

On his most recent album, Rhythm and Romance, Kenny ventures into uncharted creative territory with his first Latin Jazz release.

Over the past two decades, Kenny has established himself as the top-selling instrumental musician of the modern era with global sales totaling more than 75 million albums, with 45 million sold in the United States alone.

As Credit Crunch Bites

A generation of 20-somethings are holidaying with their parents to save money amid the recession, according to new research.

The new breed of holidaymakers – dubbed HOMADs because they Holiday on Mum and Dad – are turning to their parents for a cheap break.

More than half (52%) of those in their twenties are considering a trip away with their parents this year, with 14 per cent of those saying they already have something booked.

But while 17 per cent say they are doing it because they want to feel like a kid again, 30 per cent admit it’s because they know their parents will pick up the tab.

Courtney Wylie, MD of holiday home website Holiday-Rentals.co.uk, which carried out the study said: ‘’As young people suffer in the credit crunch, more 20-somethings than ever are choosing to go on holiday with their folks.

‘’Holiday costs can soon add up, but children – of all ages – shouldn’t be embarrassed by turning to their parents for financial help.

‘’Going away as a larger group can really help to keep the costs down and holidaying with your parents can even help you recreate the fun trips you had as a child.”

The poll of 2,500 Brits revealed that three quarters reckon their parents would pay something towards the cost of the holiday, with a lucky 18 per cent of those saying their parents will foot the entire bill.

And almost 77 per cent also claimed their mum and dad would pay for food and drink while on the trip.

A cheeky 64 per cent even admitted they would happily go away with family who offered to pay, even if they couldn’t stand spending a lot of time with them.

But it’s not just the younger generation who are going away with parents. More than half of Brits (55%) are considering holidaying with extended family and 19 per cent already do this.

Fifteen per cent said they would consider it because grandparents would help look after the kids, but two thirds would just do it to spend quality time together.

Another two thirds would think about travelling with a group of friends if it was cheaper than going alone and three quarters reckon they would have more fun.

Almost 20 per cent also think their children would be more entertained if other children were with them.

Wylie, of Holiday-Rentals.co.uk added: “Travelling in a group with family or friends is not only a great way to cut the cost per head of your holiday, it also helps re-establish important bonds.”

“In our time-poor world, holidays have become a key time for people to re-connect and we really value that time together.”

“Renting a large holiday home is the perfect solution as it’s very reasonable per head, plus provides more living space, such as separate bedrooms, dining rooms, lounges, gardens and pools.”

www.Holiday-Rentals.co.uk is the UK’s largest holiday home rentals website, listing over 180,000 properties worldwide, including thousands of larger homes suitable for a break with extended family or friends.

LAS VEGAS – Comedic duo The Laughing Samoans to perform at The Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, July 18, 2009 as part of the group’s Prettyfull Woman Tour.

Fans of The Laughing Samoans will recognize some of the duo’s most well-known characters such as the irrepressible Aunty Tala who finds herself entering a beauty contest and antics by others including Sam and Tony, Paul and Victor, and Jonathan and Bryan during the Prettyful Woman Tour.

The comedic partners in crime, Eteuati Ete and Tofiga Fepulea’I, grew up together and performed their first show together, although not as a duo, aptly titled “Laughing with Samoans” in 2003.

In October 2004, adopting a rendition of the performance name, they premiered their first show at The Laughing Samoans called A Small Samoan Wedding. This was another hit with sold-out shows throughout New Zealand and the show eventually toured in Hawaii and the United States.

Since then, The Laughing Samoans have produced and toured a new show every twelve months, growing in audience size as well as expanding locations world-wide with shows including Old School (2005) and Crack Me Off (2007).

Ete and Tofiga are humbled by the support they’ve received from their fans and they look back with gratitude at how they’ve gone from playing to a packed 300-seat theatre in Wellington back in 2003 to now selling out the 2,500-seat Aotea Centre in Auckland regularly. Continuing their gratitude, $1 from the sale of each ticket will be donated by event producers Maori Inc. to Masi Sala, a Las Vegas-based rugby player and coach injured during a game this past March who was left paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Hawaiian-music singer/songwriter Pati, who was born Patrick Soi, will bring the sounds of the island to The Pearl as the opening act for The Laughing Samoans.

The Pearl Box Office is open from noon – 7:00 p.m. daily. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and show time is 8:30 p.m.

The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.

Originally formed by Webb and Simon James, Acoustic Alchemy later became Webb and Carmichael; the duo initially worked for Virgin Airlines, providing in-flight music on trans-Atlantic trips.

After two subsequent releases, the duo signed with GRP in 1990. Their second GRP album, Reference Point, was nominated for a Grammy award. Positive Thinking followed in 1998 in the wake of Webb’s February 6 cancer-related death; their jazz content was quite small, but Acoustic Alchemy’s albums consistently charted number one on the adult contemporary charts.

By 2000, Carmichael unveiled a revamped Acoustic Alchemy that included longtime sidemen like bassist Frank Felix, guitarists John Parsons and Miles Gilderdale and keyboardist Terry Disley, as well as new members such as keyboardist Tony White.
