>>Part 1 afterwards you read in the link earlier.
>>Part 2 where he responds to emails and comments after his statements (by Pat Metheny):
>>http://www.jazzguitar.com/features/kennyg2.html
>>
>>I think his initial comments alone sufficed. :)
>>
>>Kenny G music is about 95% crap (and I felt that way long before I read the Metheny comments).
>>
>>I'm a mild fan of the Rippingtons - their WORST album, by far, is the lone album where Kenny G played soprano sax.
>>
>>Now you've got me going - I haven't gone on a Kenny G rant in years.
>>
>>Some people (mainly females) love his ultra sugary-sweet music - and let's face it, some equate his music with his looks. OK, that's fine, many performers receive praise for attributes unrelated to their music.
>>
>>But he is a sloppy player. I wouldn't be surprised if half the sax players at Smalls in Greenwich Village are better than G.
>>
>>Put on a good set of cans and listen to his biggest hits - and then listen to someone like Wayne Shorter or Cannonball or Charlie Parker or any other legend who played immaculately....most will conclude that the difference in skill can be measured in light years.

>I certainly was not supporting Kenny G in anyway. Just wanted to provide more info. No need to convince me. I've been a jazz listener since the late 70s. :o)

You kids. ;)
