On his latest album, Kenny G overdubs himself on top of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World”. It’s a sad tale of the bastardization of one of jazz music’s greatest figures, but it certainly is an entertaining read. Pat Metheny is erudite, passionate and pulls no punches in describing Kenny G’s “lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing“.

I can’t even bring myself to listen to KennyG under normal circumstances. Real easy for me to boycott him – being doing that all my life.
