1 out of 5 stars Music For People Who Hate Music.......2006-02-19

It's always close by, like the threat of nuclear war. In the frozen food section of your supermarket, in the elevator of your office building, wafting through the lobbies of hotels and corridors of conference centers. It bears an eerie resemblance to music, as wax fruit resembles something nourishing, as paintings of sad clowns with large liquid eyes and dogs playing poker resemble Guernica and Crows On A Wheatfield, as a lightning bug resembles lightning.

In a way, this is perhaps forgivable. Everything Henry Miller ever said about American bread is true, it's really unfit for anything except perhaps blotting up spilled ink. But there are those people who like bologna on Wonderbread, and why shouldn't they have their fun - or more properly - lack of fun? Perhaps Wonderbread is the only appropriate delivery mechanism for peanut butter and jelly. So be it.

In this context one can attempt to excuse the chain of albums churned out by Mr. G, like so many spiceless sausages. But one cannot forgive this. Here he approaches those who are far beyond being his betters, they're from a different dimension. To listen as KG addresses 'Round Midnight is to question the existence of God. A smooth jazz draft of Ipanema is rather like painting a polar bear in a snowstorm. But the height of impertinence and grandiosity is playing a duet with Satchmo. It was a tawdry bit of grandstanding when Natalie Cole did it with her dead father, but at least that was all in the family. Here it is a hideous attempt at bridging the gap that will forever separate the real from the really, really awful.

5 out of 5 stars Hmmm.......2005-12-02

Kenny G is an awsome musician and i say its okay if you dont like is music. We are all entitled to our own opinions. But dont disrespect the person because thats what most of you did. If you find his music to be distasteful, then listen to those you know you like. point blank. and for those of you who said he should be ashamed because he dubbed his music over louis armstrong, he has nithing to be ashamed about.

4 out of 5 stars soothing background music.......2005-08-06

This album seems to be irritating people for some reason. I disagree; it's good for trying to fall asleep or sitting in the tub. It's soothing that's the point. For dinner music I would pick something else though.

1 out of 5 stars Hrmmm..........2005-06-18

Since my music and art teacher, who is actually a (very good) bassist, can hold a note on a trumpet in the same way Kenny G can hold it on the saxophone (circular-breathing), my music teacher is the best jazz musician ever and is better than the likes of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Lee Morgan, and just about any other jazz musician there is. (Except for Kenny G because he can hold a note really long too)

End of discussion.
