(flute, saxophone, synthesizer, background vocals); Kashif (vocals, synthesizer, percussion); Andre Monatgue (vocals); Ira Seigel, John Raymond, Fareed Abdul Haque, Joe Shekani (guitar); Barry Eastwood (piano); Wayne Braithwaite (synthesizer, bass); Peter Scherer (synthesizer); Yogi Horton, Doog McDonaldson (drums); Jeff Smith, Yolanda Lee, Joe Wooten (background vocals).Producers: Kashif, Kenny G, Wayne Braithwaite.Recorded at The New Music Studios, Stamford, Connecticut; Studio G, Seattle, Washington; Atlantic Studios and Electric Lady Studios, New York, New York.Kashif was obviously the star of the show on G Force, and the same thing is true of Kenny G's third album Gravity. With the R&B singer/producer/composer once again serving as G's executive producer, G delivers another generally decent urban contemporary-oriented effort. This isn't to say that G's sax playing on this CD is anything to rave about; although his improvisatory work with the Jeff Lorber Fusion had been impressive, Gravity finds him playing like a poor man's Grover Washington, Jr. The thing that brings the CD to life isn't G's playing, but the producing and writing of Kashif, one of R&B's finest artists of the '80s. In fact, Gravity usually sounds like a Kashif album, but with more instrumentals. As it turned out, Gravity would be the last project Kenny G would do with Kashif -- and the last studio album he would do that had any type of integrity. ~ Alex Henderson
