If you ever get a chance to hear Pat Metheny's thoughts on Kenny G, do your self a favor, and Google it, I enjoy Pat's rants on Kennny more than Kenny's music itself, though Pat does come off as a bit bitter, sort of reminds me of Wynton Marsalis and his criticism of the electric music of Miles Davis, Probably doesn't help Pat's ego, knowing that Breathless has probably sold more than every album Pat has ever made. I listened to the YouTube videos of this album, No way would I let Breathless sit next to any Miles Davis or John Coltrane Albums, that would be sacrilege indeed, Kenny isn't really a bad saxophonist though, there is some talent there, and his tone isn't that bad either to my ears, but the boring, syrupy new age beats, and tepid synthesizers are what do me in, this would be great music to sleep to, in fact I was drinking a double espresso while listening to it. In fact Kenny has sold over 75 million records world wide, 75 Million!
Barnum once said, "There is a sucker born every minute" But you have to give Kenny credit, he sure knew how to cash in on boring faceless fuzak. Wow! did you know that this album from 1992, has sold over 15 Million copies? as P.T.
