BROADCAST ARCHITECTURE President ALLEN KEPLER said, "We are very excited about this new program with KENNY as host. There has been so much great jazz oriented music recorded during KENNY's lifetime and we see this as a great opportunity to offer something unique and diverse to radio, while still being relevant to millions of jazz fans around the world."

KENNY G added, "I love jazz, and grew up listening to all the great masters of jazz as well as the more contemporary artists. It’s been great fun going through and selecting songs for the show. Lots of memories and some new discoveries too."
