This could be the solution to soothe crying babies around the world.

Sax bomb Kenny G aims to break his own 1997 Guinness World Record by holding an E-flat note for an entire one-hour airplane flight.

From takeoff to landing, he’ll make like Colin Stetson and utilize the circular breathing technique to store air in his inflated cheeks, inhale through his nose, and blow back through his mouth to make the tone float. Watch him keep it all G below:

The sensual jazzer and Frappucino truther is reaching out for monetary donations for every minute he can successfully hold the note. Proceeds will support music education in schools, so you can’t really hate on this philanthropic musical stunt.

John Oliver recently pointed out that Kenny G’s “liquid velvet” sound may be America’s secret weapon to avoid a war with China. The sax man’s 1989 Grammy-winning song “Going Home” has been embraced as China’s unofficial anthem for the end of the work day. We can only hope this tradition catches on worldwide.
