Pat Metheny on Kenny G

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, [...]
