If you like Kenny G, you will love this album. "Summertime" is, by itself, worth the price of the album. This sensuous, soulful rendition is awesome. Buy it already.
Strong opinions aside, I simply didn't get anything out of this. Of course, as a musician, I have my beefs with Kenny G. This album made me curious enough to at least listen to it, and I did so without trying to hate it before it started. Well, I didn't like it. Not to say that the man can't play. Of course he can, that's why he can record. But this is not about his technique or whether or not he has style. Technique does not pack the same punch as asthetics (Beethoven knew that), and style is a manner of taste. Thus, I'm really not interested in duking it out with Kenny G fans. To say that it is "easy listening" is restating the obvious about Kenny G. Of course it's easy to listen to, that's the point of "smooth jazz." The people that like that sort of thing are attracted to it by it's very nature. That's why Kenny G sells big. My musical brethren are quite offended that the world hails him as the "world's greatest instrumentalist." Well, the world doesn't have our background, and you really can't expect it to. Kenny G sells, that's that. But one of my mentors once told me about "art" music... "if what we do were more popular, it would have less value." If you're in tune with that you will understand it, and maybe you won't feel the need to attack Kenny G. It's like bashing Brittany Spears... what's the point? Buy this album if you like Kenny G. Go in Peace.
Is the key of G the only key that Kenny G knows how to play in
Dentists think this CD helps their patients relax. It doesn't. Makes me demand general anesthesia just so I don't have to listen to it. As if going to the dentist wasn't torture enough already.
Kenny's talent is quite teeny.
