Hope this doesn't turn into a big debate after wat i said. I listen to Kenny G and I find his tone great. I'm just not a big fan of his style. |

Here's what I've found with Kenny G.
At times, he can be sharp. This was proven by putting him up against an electronic keyboard. When I turned up the tuning to 15 or 20 cents it was more in tune. Then to go further when I pushed further in on my Dukoff, I was more in tune when I played along. Most of his solos are based off of a pentatonic scale...I don't really care  . I don't call his music "jazz" neither does he, but I like the style for relaxing, veg-out type music. It can be boring (some tracks), but that's when I hit the next track button and listen to something new. He does put out a jewel once in a while, but most of his music could be considered 'boring'.
And I still hate what Pat Metheny did to him

I guess you didn't mind Pat's vicious remarks...he's not a real musician if he can do that to another musician

I'm sure he does, and note he didn't call Pat Metheny a stoner or a whatever  ??:
