The Moment is the seventh studio album by saxophonist Kenny G. It was released by Arista Records in 1996, and reached on the Billboard Top Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, on the Billboard 200, on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and on the Canadian Albums Chart.

The Classic Christmas Album. The Duets Album/ Breathless.
Kenny G remains a sweet, melodic instrumentalist, who works entirely in lush, slick adult contemporary pop settings. His playing has improved somewhat in those four years - he soars and dives with effortless skill, and his vibrato remains fleet and elegant - yet after The Moment is finished, you wish that he had tried some new musical territories. That said, it is true that The Moment ranks second to only Breathless in terms of sheer consistency in Kenny G's catalog, thanks to the sustained vision of producer Babyface.

Exclusively for Prime members. The "Every Time I Close My Eyes" on this album doesn't feature Mariah Carey like the original single, however. That Somebody Was You" is a grateful song about finding a better love. The Moment" is a thought-provoking slow love tune that sounds quite sad. "Passages" is a bit faster and more happier. Havana" cheats you at the beginning for it being a slow melody, but then a minute and seconds later, it's a danceable number, but "Gettin' On The Step" is less danceable although cheerful
