"By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed"

Kenny G Holds 45 Minute Note,
"Best Album Yet!" Says Fans
by Patrick Kirk Gillock
Chesterville, WA - Unless you live in a sound proof cave then you obviously heard about Kenny G's world record for the longest sustained note on a wind instrument. Frustrated fans who were unable to attend the event last year can now rest easy. Easy listening that is… Capitol Records has recently announced that Kenny G's record-breaking event will be released this summer on CD and DVD. The double CD/DVD will be entitled "Long Winded" and it'll contain the record-breaking note (in it's entirety), Kenny's 30 minute warm up session and breathing exercises, and numerous hidden tracks. If that's not enough, DVD owners will get the added bonus of having audio commentary by Kenny G.
When asked about the hidden tracks a record producer would only say, "This is not the first time Kenny G has placed hidden tracks on a CD. 1992's Breathless had a hidden track, but unfortunately very few listeners made it to the end of the CD. It's for this reason we decided to place secret tracks through-out the album… It might cause confusion with some listeners, but overall we think it will be an enjoyable experience that could really take off!"
Kenny G could not be reached for comment because he was washing his hair.
“ By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture — something that we all should be totally embarrassed about. ”
“ ...through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. ”

Kenny, it's time to step down mate. You've made enough money - Why, oh Why do you continue to release albums.........just retire! Play golf! Drink free Starbucks! Stop making your 'music'. I don't hate you.......but just stop it!
Five Ways to enjoy your friend's "Kenny G Christmas" CD
1) Take that Kenneth Gorelick Christmas album out of the player and use it as a coaster for your mojito...
2) Trade it in for a couple of bucks and buy a Coleman Hawkins CD...
3) Get that FEEL GOOD "I'm helping to save the world!" feeling and smile while you place it in a recycle bin.
4) Teach the kids DO NOT listen to this right after you teach them not to play with matches or pet stray pitbulls. Bad things will happen!
5) Use it as a circle template on blank white paper with crayons, Sharpies etc when the little ones come over and complain they have nothing to play with.
just saying hi from ireland, really like what you've done with the shite. you sir, are a modern day hero. yes, the hate is all around.even here. dear kenny g, why did you have to ruin the wider public perception of what the saxophone is supposed to sound like? why?
Thanks for your add. I hate that soprano sax bullshit. What a waste of a soprano sax. What if Kenny G played bari?? He'd still suck. But at least it would be just a little cooler.
You know, Im on .. right now starting to transcr..sdfhkbgferwkjcbvbvuwehkcjhfjfjasersfjklavno; i414...........................................................................................................
You are a complete idiot whoever you are. Everyone hates on Kenny G because he is so successful. If you even play, I would like to hear you try to play some of his lines that you could find on Youtube. Get a life hater.

Greetings from Argentina. Your site is wonderful! WE hate Kenny G!!! Thanks for add and thanks for this site! Put more echoe & delay to "Ave María", ahahaha!
hate is such an ugly word.... just because i throw up a little every time i hear kenny g's thin, plastic, nauseating, flatulent, uninspired sound, doesn't mean i hate the guy. he's got great marketing. it's just too bad great marketing can sell such terrible crap.
We are very proud to be part of this noble cause...Though we do not really relate with your "puking" photos/We TOTALLY agree with the myspace page/quote (Pat Metheny right ?).
Kenny G is an embarrasment : to whole modern culture...may be...To Music : for sure !!
OK, so the clip is in French, and really it's only about the first 35 seconds that are relevant, but it's all I could find on YouTube. Just happened to be watching Wayne's World 2 earlier, and this scene came on, and I thought of you and figured I'd share. Enjoy!
