Live Music in Houston This Weekend

It seems that good music is everywhere you go this week. Beginning downtown with the Latin Grammys, to southwest Houston's Arena Theater. The best live music this weekend has to be the smooth jazz sounds of Kenny G.

For the first time ever he has been nominated for a Latin Grammy award.

That really epitomizes how much the groove of his music and the success of his career has grown, since his days as a soloist with the Love Unlimited Orchestra.

You can expect the live show at the Arena Theater to feature classic Kenny G music, spiced up, with up-tempo tunes such as “Sax-o-Loco” and “Salsa Kenny” from the Latin-infused album "Rhythm & Romance."
