Did anyone ever see that bit on Saturday night live where Norm MacDonald made fun of the "money in the bank" opinions of Larry King? ergo: Pat Metheney rallying against the likes of Kenny G. What a safe bet this is... sheesh. Musically speaking, Kenny G's stuff is what it is. Whatever amount of records he sells is due to the fact that number of people like what he gives. No more, no less. Their frame of reference matches his delivery. What this is really about is the nerve of one musician, speaking out against another. Metheny, mind your own business. If this is terribly wrong, it will fall down by its own lack of merit. You're in no position to judge artistic merit on behalf of others. By the way, Pat, a few left hand pinky exercises should help your technique.
