Thread Name: Metheny speaks about Kenny G
Subject: RE: Metheny speaks about Kenny G
I agree with Peter T for the most part. I've had a peripheral appreciation for Pat M for years and still have a couple of lp's (remember lp's?) stored in a box somewhere. His musical ability takes a different form than what I usually listen to but I still like it. My jazz likes are more to Oscar Peterson. Anyway, P.M. is a musician and I'm not sure about Kenny G. It always concerns me that the Kenny G's of this world are playing, by music and persona, to a market, with no regard for personal or musical integrity. Perhaps P.M. spewed a bit of shit, but no more shit than the muzak shit of K.G. At least Metheny's music is honest.

Just a guess...no minds will be changed here. Mooh.
