Kenny G shits on Louis Armstrong

After you've heard as much as you can bear read this essay:
http://www.jazzguitar.be/metheny_interview.html
Here's an Excerpt:
"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's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that i would not have imagined possible."

As bad as Kenny G's music is, it helped me get laid once. And not a regrettable lay, I must add. For that, Mr. G should only be consigned to the 8th circle of hell.

That is the single saddest thing I have ever heard.

Title gets my upvote. That is some painful ruination of a song that should have been left the hell alone.

"And I think to myself, what the fuck are you doing?!?!?"

The article is fascinating. I never knew Mr. G was so despised by other musicians. He's like the Justin Beiber of jazz...
