Hi,
My friend likes Kenny G's album "Classics In The Key of G" where Kenny plays well known pop songs (Summertime, The Look of Love, What a Wonderful World, etc.) Can you recommend anything similar that I could give my friend as a gift? It can be old or new, but it is safest to stay in that same (boring?) genre.
Thank you for your advice.

George Benson (guitar player) covers all the songs from The Beatles "Abbey Road" on "The Other Side of Abbey Road".
