Re Kenny G, two anecdotes:

The PRESIDENT of Kenny's record label asked me the following question after a long night of tasting: "Ok, you're in a room with Hitler, Stalin and Sadaam Husein, you have a gun and one bullet, who do you kill?" I, ponder and finally say "Stalin, he probably was the biggest bastard of the three.." and he says, "NO! You dumbshit, you shoot Kenny G!!!!"


Then we are at a concert of one of our favorite Brasilian artists, Ed Motta (imagine if Marvin Gaye and Bobby Mcferrin both inhabited Ray Charles' body) and he has his sax player demonstrate the different soprano sax stylings of Sydney Bechet, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and "Kenny Gay" (that's how you pronounce the letter G em portogues) to a HUGE audience laughter and then tells the whole crowd and especially the young ones to "search out the real music inside, they are not going to hand it to you, you have to find it".
