A lot of runners feel about Nike's abuse of the Prefontaine legacy the same way Metheny feels about Kenny G's abuse of Louis Armstrong.

it's definitely pat metheny. he can't stand the G.

it was pat - it was on his website at one point

Yes, Kenny G sucks. But he actually is a pretty solid sax player. He just decided to make big money doing cheezy crap instead of blowing his brains out to try to make a living in the NY jazz scene. He got hooked up with Clive Davis and became a star playing seriously lame music.

Pat Metheny let loose on him for dubbing himself with Louis Armstrong. Fair game on that one. But, if he wanted to, Kenny G could throw down on the sax. I have heard some live stuff where he cuts loose a bit (played for me by a friend under the dare of "you will never believe who this is"--I would pay a penny to see the G). He can play. He just chooses not to most of the time in order to please his lame fans. It is kind of the tragedy of jazz. Really good musicians like Chris Botti, Norah Jones, and others go for the $ doing stuff for the masses when they could have probably done some much better stuff for a much smaller jazz audience.

Certainly one of the worst musicians to come out of Seattle, a town known for quite a few decent musicians of all genres.

I tell people I meet that I went to the same HS that Jimi Hendrix went to. I may mention all the grunge and rock dudes, some jazz types (like Quincy Jones), even some rappers. But, I NEVER, EVER mention that Kenny G grew up in Seattle. An embarrassment for sure.

While I hold Pat Metheney in the highest regard, I don't need him or anyone else to tell me how much KG sucks. From the very first time I heard that anti-musical fraud, a self promoting dweeb at best, at worst... well he IS the worst.

KG= Nickleback, Britney Spears, Madonna, and all pop country, embarrassing.
