Every Monday in February, Kimmel facilitated the Fusion of two musical artists for a once-in-a-lifetime performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "Mash Up Monday" kicked off on Feb. 2 with Weezer and ZZ Top ("Wee-Z Top") and featured the unlikely pairings of alternative band Haim with Morris Day & The Time to create "Morris Day and the Haim" and Aloe Blacc and Blackstreet joining forces as "Aloe Blaccstreet." Tonight, Grammy award-winning saxophonist Kenny G and G-Funk pioneer Warren G will merge to create "Kenny and Warren G." The duo will perform the West Coast legend's classic track "Regulate."

ABC's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE airs weeknights at 11:35pm EST/10:35pm CST.

On Jan. 27, Grammy award-winning saxophonist Kenny G released his fourteenth studio album Brazilian Nights via Concord Records. The ten-song set, Kenny's tribute to the 'masters' of Bossa Nova, is a mixture of classics and Kenny G originals. To celebrate the release, Kenny appeared on TODAY, Bloomberg, HuffPost Live and MSNBC's Morning Joe, among others. Brazilian Nights is available on Amazon and iTunes and exclusive deluxe bundles can be found at KennyG.com.
