  • wowww but he was a piop scale runer.......now he play with real jazz feel

  • shit!!!

  • this should be called " Coltrane Video-Shreds"

  • Whoa, actually bought this for a second. Was thinking "wow, he's doing a great job of sounding like Coltrane."

  • Very funny, but I wouldn't doubt that Kenny could actually play this.

  • Anybody would sound great miming to John Coltrane

  • So yeah, guys this is actually a Coltrane recording synched to a Kenny G video. Just so you non-educated peeps out there know. XD

  • @Thundermonkeyms  congratulations you figured it out . i took the kenny G video and then SYNCED the coltrane recording to it. makes sense, the audio being all choppy and the video smooth as silk.

  • @Thundermonkeyms  What a great IRONY!

  • so this is what true jazz sounds like, well i hate it, im going back to kenny g. now. i dont care if he is hated by all the jazz musicians out there and pat metheny could suck my dick saying that kenny is the worst jazz player, well guess what pat, he's not stupid and boring! why would he play this type of improv suck ass jazz when he can produce his own original sound! motherfucker!

  • @boypula Don't get too hasty man, there is alot of true jazz that doesnt sound like this. Jazz is a much broader genre than what "smooth jazz" is (The genre Kenny G is part of). Give a listen to Pat Metheny, Zoot Sims, Buddy Rich big band, Steve Gadd, Miles Davis, Kenny Garret (called the real Kenny G by some people), Joe Henderson, Stan Getz, Charlie parker. The list goes on almost forever, listening to one traditional jazz song is not enough to diss the whole genre. I'm no fan of this either.

  • @vithaj92 well im not dissing the whole genre, its just that pat metheny dissed kenny g. by saying "his playing method is one of the dumbest". i like jazz and i appreciate jazz wether its smooth jazz or not, but this type of coltrane jazz im not particularly fond of it, quite frankly i find it only as noise. jazz is suppose to make you feel melancholy, happy, hot or whatever but coltrane does none of that eventhough he is respected by many i just dont like his type of jazz. thanks anyways.

  • @boypula Fair enough mate :)

  • @vithaj92 thanks mate, cheers. :)

  • @vithaj92 You sir, are the MOST patient person ever.

  • @G8tr1522 What do you mean? Why do you say that?

  • @vithaj92 I would've went off on that guy. Not really. But you handled that in a respectable manner.

  • If Kenny G could play this way, he would definitely be friend with Pat Metheny

  • GOO KENNYYY

  • Comment removed

  • LOL

  • Geeze man. I was here thinking "Uh... am I a bad person for thinking that this sounds good?" Then I read the Coltrane info and all was well :3

  • lol do people really not know this is coltrane audio?

  • Do you have the tabs for this?

  • Sounds like my son's 6th grade band when they gave their very first concert.

  • I always knew Kenny was better than Coltrane.

  • this sounded to too old school jazz for KG. of course without a description ... you almost need to be a detective to find out whats going on. the timing on :11 makes you belive your watching KG!!! good vid. minute long and had my attention for 10

  • @okicu I agree its timed correctly....but nothing in the world we have tricked me of thinking this was kenny G. I knew instantly it was coltrane. KG would never sound like that.

  • The great thing is that people say it sucks just because they see KG. Upon finding out it's Coltrane playing, they must feel so ashamed.

  • Lol. Gotta love this. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of jazz would recognize that sound as Trane. Mr. Gorelick WISHES he could play this well

  • lets settle the debate once and for all. we all know that without the innovations of KG, coltrane would probably still be in the backwoods of north carolina playing square twelve bar blues. brilliant post.

  • Comment removed

  • except for, this is not kenny G at all

    in real life, no one likes him...

  • totally hilarious

  • holy shit this is out of tune. what a hack

  • Hats off to the creator of this

  • Hilarious

  • just so everyone knows, i'm pretty sure @jochensucks is jochen rueckert - one of the leading drummers on the scene today (he also makes amazing electronic music). He knows a thing or two about saxophone. Hes played with mark turner, bill mchenry, chris cheek, will vinson, hayden chisholm and other heavies. I'm guessing he probably knows that it's trane. epicjazztroll

  • its funny how people insult his playing even when its coltrane on the audio track

  • This video... is genius. I mean, it is meant to be ironic, right? As opposed to all the other shred videos. You know, taking grocery store music and replacing it with post-bop genius, right? If not, fuck you.

  • This video... is genius.

  • Still plays sharp. Meaning "not in tune" to you non-musicians. Hack.

  • Can anyone tell me where can I find that performance?

    ( i mean the really killing soprano solo not the kenny g concert. )

  • @ben4792 John Coltrane, "Afro Blue"

  • This video, and some of the comments, is hilarious. This is what Kenny G dreams about; to be able to play, and be as authentic as John Coltrane. To have his integrity. Integrity- there's a word you don't hear very much in the 'pop' world. Please check out some real Coltrane. And Miles, and Charlie Parker, on up to Bill Evans, Michael Brecker and 5000 others.

  • this is fake why is this video rated up rate down,Kenny gs cool but i hate fake videos

  • fake kenny > real kenny

  • LOL YEAH RIGHT

  • You guys need to stop this fake shit

  • better than the real.

  • haha he sounds better thatn the real Kenny

  • @jochensucks

    I really hope you realize this video is spoof video. If not...you should and @delamerica93 should curl up with a jazz history book (cause you obviously need to refresh on the bebop area...and prob anything before like....1990) and a spelling book (it's saxophone man). And once you inevitably get bored, and you will because you obviously know nothing about jazz, you two can headbang out to Slayer until your ears bleed and you go deaf.

    It's not like you use them much anyway.

  • Sooooo frakking sharp. Also, whomever is saying that Kenny G is better or worse than 'Trane or Wayne Shorter, don't bother. No contest, Kenny G will get his ass kicked every single time. I like his songs because they're pretty. Thats...really all they are though. ^^"

  • This is almost as appalling as my father said he was in 1978 the first time he watched a black man kiss a white girl on television!

  • Oh and if you're wondering what happened to the replacement Chris Potter, he carried on playing with Red Rodney for a bit but sadly drifted into relative obscurity. He ended up playing on small record labels with german born drummers, backed by bands made up of studio nobodies such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Monder and Matt Penman... Whilst Kenny G went on to fame and fortune garnering the respect of musicians and critics alike.

  • Jochen guy doesn't know anything about jazz!!!! Kenny G is the bastard child of Red Rodney (look at the hair), that's why he chose to play such emotional Jazz music. In his teens he auditioned for his fathers band under the pseudonym 'Chris Potter'. When his father realised who he was he was sacked and had to be replaced with another Chris Potter because the tour programs had already been written. After this he went on to release a Jazz album with Anthony Braxton's cross dressing alter ego Toni.

  • LOL!!! You had me for a couple seconds there. This is a reverse shred: taking a video of someone who sucks ass and synching it with awesome audio. I was thinking, "Holy shit! Gorelick can play like Coltrane??? Wait....oh. It is Coltrane."

  • @eatingperson lol "it is Coltrane."

  • @delamerica93: Coltrane pioneered Bebop? you need a history lesson

  • @jochensucks, That IS john coltrane playing you fool. You think it sucks ? The whole "shred" series are intentional jokesI'd love to hear those 6 saxophonists at your high school play like this. Why dont you develope your hearing and your knowledge and keep your typing fingers on your dick for awhile, or better, on a horn of some kind practicing. Dont be a stupid fool all your life.

  • most of the idiots commenting here dont even realise that the audio is coltrane - just goes to display the intellectual/musical capacity of the average Kenny G fan for what it is

  • 90% of people knows nothing about music lol. They are just saying KG sucks because every other stuck up beboper say so. Do you see how many people have no idea this is Coltrane?

  • Kenny G eats poop straight from the ass

  • you are an idiot. just listen to the recording of afro blue by coltrane. this is the orginal recording. this is great tune. it's funny because it's kenny g in the video. even if you don;t like the song, what you are hearing is coming from coltranes sax

  • ear bleeding goodness

  • @pavedwave

    You do realize the recording is actually coltrane right?

  • Yeah, I do like some coltrane, this track, not so much. there's a good chunk of miles davis I don't really care for as well.. doesn't mean I don't like coltrane or miles davis tho.

  • @mastersgta1 -- Yeah, I do like some coltrane, this track, not so much. there's a good chunk of miles davis I don't really care for as well.. doesn't mean I don't like coltrane or miles davis tho.

  • haha hilarious how some morons are saying 'this shows how shit kenny g is coltrane is the best' THE RECORDING IS COLTRANE!!!

  • Kenny Gorelick showing Trane how it's suposed to sound..... nice, Kenny - show that hack!

  • This is Kenny G's "mindless" rendition of "Up where we belong" by Joe Cocker

  • @phileustace

    This is actually John Coltrane's recording of Afro Blue. Somebody put Kenny's video to it.

  • @SuperJazzman84 no the reason Coltrane became famous is because Kenny G went back in time with the time machine he invented and taught Trane how to play the saxophone. All that other shit he did in the mid 60s doesn't swing because Kenny G had to travel back to his time and continue developing the modern jazz saxophone vocabulary. Get hip.

  • Haha Jochen, brilliant stuff. If only people realised that you yourself are one of the jazz pioneers of this age, might make them do some research before making fools of themselves. WAYNE WOULD BE ASHAMED.

  • the only reason people know who john coltrane is today because he was made by record executives. he was the 60's justin beiber

  • LOOOOOL It's Coltrane dubbed over with tricky editing. As if people can't hear that right away.

  • LOL.....A Kenny G video dubbed over with a Steve Lacy CD. Brilliant !!

  • HAHAHA this is hilarious. I mean all your comments, not the video. You are all getting so worked up about a simple joke.

  • ...what??? Kennyg has one of the most original and personal tones ever created...THAT is why he is a GOD

  • ummm i hope you guys are kidding, thats JOHN COLTRANE playing, if only kenny gee would really play that well the world would be a much better place than what it is today, weapons of mass destruction - indeed!

  • Soooo killing!

  • I just transcribed like 20 choruses of Mr G. we humans have much to learn!!

  • Gorlick the whorelick! Illiterate simp, with nothing except an ignorant audience that buys his meaningless drivel. This is hilarious, largely due to the impossibility of G's mind being capable of ever putting together even two or three notes with the thought and consideration and emotion of the Trane. Thanks for the great morning laugh!!

  • sounds like he has been checking out some branford. nice to see him evolving. kudos KG!

  • @Riescup yeah branford !

  • Comment removed

  • @jochensucks

    :D :D :D :D :D

  • You fooled them all :D

  • @Riescup Ummm, Coltrane more like!

  • @Riescup no I think it sounds more like his brother Wynford...

  • @Riescup sounds like hes been studying all of the faggots who have ever lived and is trying to TRUMP THEM ALL

  • Comment removed

  • Gorlick just wishes

  • @jochensucks You really don't know that much about music or the saxophone do you? Coltrane is always regarded as one of the best not because he was black or because he looked good in a suit. Coltrane was a creative genius that had an amazing sound and exceptional technique. The so called "hype" is well deserved. Kenny G is as a horrible player because he is a sellout with horrible tone. I'll admit the early work of Kenny G with Jeff Lorber was decent but Kenny is all about the money now.

  • @jochensucks .....wow......racially profiling jazz musicians for starters.....jazz musicians have been racially mixed since the begininning, the most racially accepting style of music to ever exist.....john coltrane was one of the premier bebop pioneers in the history of bebop.....the fact that he was black did NOT help him, what the HELL....how would you have liked to be black in the 50's and 60's? and you think that coltrane is more praised because he was more attractive?andhow is he the hype?

  • @jochensucks also, i don't think your opinion really matters when you look at the people who fiercly disagree with your claim: Miles Davis, Pat Metheney, Red Garland, soooo many others.....was Miles a bad jazz musician too? the man who literally invented or co-created bebop, acid jazz, cool jazz, smooth jazz, defined post bop, invented fusion...

  • @jochensucks also this solo is FUCKING AWFUL. compare this terrible spew to wayne shorter! i know at least six saxaphonists at MY HIGH SCHOOL who would laugh when they saw this.....

  • @delamerica93 @delamerica93 Ok. you have a point Coltrane indeed is very much known for pioneering bebop, you are absolutely right there. About the black thing, i was actually unaware of his race, just an educated guess, just looked it up on yahoo.you are correct he was black! Anyway i'm sure his good looks didn;t hurt his amazing commercial success.

  • @jochensucks you clearly said kenny g didn't get a break cuz he's white, implying that john coltrane and hundreds others DID get a break because they WERE black....and how can you call that an "educated guess?" and bro! why are you agreeing with me on everything when i just contradicted everything you said? wtf?

  • @jochensucks "Pioneering bebop" lol

  • @delamerica93 again you are correct the solo in this video is really really terrible. I am sure Wayne would agree.

  • Comment removed

  • @delamerica93 i sure did lol when i saw this...

  • Comment removed

  • @delamerica93

    the audio is coltrane...you are fuckign awful for not recognizing coltrane's sound. then bashing it, just becuase you saw kenny g's face.

  • Comment removed

  • @bareftjacky you are fucking awful for thinking coltrane plays clarinet or soprano sax and it doesn't sound like him at all in any way

  • @bareftjacky you are fucking awful for thinking coltrane plays clarinet or soprano sax and it doesn't sound like him at all in any way. in fact it is the opposite of his sound in almost every way

  • Comment removed

  • @jochensucks No he never got a break because his music is a bunch of corny bullshit.

  • Yeah, whoever put this together is one sick f*ck with too much time on his hands. He dishonors both John Coltrane and KG, who never had any pretensions to anything but housewives' mama's boy "easy-listening" stuff, and has never intended to play anything more demading. However, I suppose it is funny, in a sick way.

  • This is just plain wrong to represent Kenny g like this...or John Coltrane in this way. I do have a sense of humor usually...but not today!

  • Just PISSED in my Pants!!!! Laughing so hard!!!!

  • Is this you jochen rueckert who posted this insane video ? You're sick....

  • genial!

  • this is hilarious - only in his wildest dreams...

  • sehr gut
