okay, lois armstrong and ella fitzgerald are cool.
but kenny g. and all those 'smooth jazz' musicians... they make me feel angry just listening to them!
maybe it has something to do with the fact that kenny g. was playing as i slipped out of conciousness during my wisdom teeth extraction...

dude. try gling-gló.

gling-glo is jazz, not smooth-jazz. The latter is more like elevator music. I think you can only listen to Kenny G if you have no soul.

kenny-g ain't smooth jazz..

study luddites..kenny G is the dogs, how can ya say he ain't jazz, he's the jazzest jazz fag around!! not only was he Billboards JAZZ MUSICIAN of the Decade (1980's)..Playboy named him top instrumentalist and is held in advisory capacity by Bill Clinton regarding fingering technique. often described as smooth, soulful, melodic and romantic polished, pop-jazz, he is also a nice bloke. i met him at the grand rapids amphitheatre in '99 on a christmas tour. he even played white christmas, despite being reluctant to cash in on a 'holday' album. anybody who wants to hear the real genius of Kenny G should buy one of his earlier nuggets from 1984 simply entitled G-Force. it's beyond comment..i heard he was lining up an album with curtis stigers, also a mean saxophonist in his own right. lay off kenny G, cos kenny G jazz!!

nah, I'm not buying it. Kenny G. is elevator music.
the "soft side of Coltrane" is not smooth jazz. That guy was one of the great musicians of all time.

"the gentle side of John Coltrane" definately is TearoomJazz.
But i do like the Xaver Fischer Trio Jazz!

me myself don't listen to kenny g unless its a duet with an artist.
Like Miles Davis. Vanessa Mae?

The sax and clarinet gives me a headache. Two most annoying instruments.

kenny g sax playing sounds like a bad walk in the park... i dont know. but is sounds like crap. i do hate it too. its like 'cliche' music

check out "Bitches Brew" or "Live Evil" by Miles Davis. The antithesis of smooth.
- bhawk0
Well Miles is another man. He rules, no sax there. Damn saxaphone, the devil spawned you I swear.

ugh! tell me about it. i hate it when i start talking about jazz and some dude whips out talk about how they love pat mathany, kenny g or any sort of smooth jazz and fushion jazz!!!
sorry. i'm just a traditionalist when it comes to jazz. i'm all about the 1920's - 1970's. from armstrong to bird, john coltrane to new works by ron carter.
no wank! just good raw jazz!
