  • You know, the "G" is one of the most humble successful guys out there. He has done what he needs to do to EAT! Ya, know... his music outsells all others. Don't hate him for that please. And, many of us find him very easy to listen to. Coltrane and Bird set the bar so high no one will ever top them, EVER. Nice Christmas tune, easy to swing to, decent solo great tight band. Give the nice man his props.

  • @vandoren59 I hate comments like yours and other haters. If you don't like him why would you purposely view videos of his performance? And also tell me how he's shit. The mans making tons of money for doing what he loves doing in which I think is a major success. Chances are your probably an amateur compared to him with a big mouth. Shut the fuck up and have a nice day :)

  • Does he play with the mouthpiece to the side or something? I just noticed that.

  • @94Harrymitchell not ALL of them sound like ducks, im just so sick of people picking up sax, learning how to improvise and just blowing their guts out and excusing their bad sound as part of the way they they intend it to be. (not coltrane or parker or anything, they are amazing) but kenny g is still, before he became famous, an excellent jazz musician, who chose the pop route. and hes KIND OF jazz... and soulful isnt ducklike, so ducklike shouldnt be soulful

  • It's so cool to hate Kenny G. But it's so stupid and shallow. He's a really talented player with great tone. If the haters can't hear that then maybe it's music itself that they really hate.

  • @shankbone; I'm not even going to try to argue with that, because I agree with you. I just don't hate him personally. I think he's a great "cover" man. Every note is practiced, I want to know if he can create! I want to know what happens when the band breaks into 12 bar blues and G just lets it fly. I'm not sure it ever happens. I'm just glad someone is making money playing an instrument, and not just talking over samples of music from the past.

  • @dxt82 we hate him, because bird and coltrane brought the saxophone out of just being an "entertaining" instrument into being ART. kenny g brought the saxophone BACK to being "entertainment". there's no substance or personality to his sound, just reverb and empty melodic and sonic material. he makes money because people who don't know jazz (a lot of people don't) embrace his music because it's not as challenging or meaningful. "easy-listening" is for people who treat music like a decoration.

  • does he play without reverb ever?

  • uau q lindo.

  • His Tenor playing is good as any, better than some. Be grateful that SOMEBODY can make a good living playing these things. Oh, and Scott Hamilton is a good player, too. Try listening before you go poo-pooh. You might hear something you actually dig...
