but when kenny g decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music
of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by
spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out,
fucked up playing all over one of the great louis旧 tracks (even one of his
lesser ones), he did something that i would not have imagined possible.
he, in one move, 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. 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 - and afraid of. we ignore this, 濯et it slide? at our own
peril.
everything i said here is exactly the same as what i would say to gorelick
if i ever saw him in person. and if i ever DO see him anywhere, at any
function - he WILL get a piece of my mind and (maybe a guitar wrapped
around his head.)
