Re: Woody Allen - standing ovation on clarinet ??

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a Sax teacher I once had in High School.
I saw some Kenny G books on his table and said, "Kenny G (!?)". His answer was better than any attack of Kenny G that I have ever heard.
He said that so many sax players pick on Kenny G only because he is making a living playing and they are not. And what he does is by no means "bad" music. He performs live music in front of large audiences without losing concentration and, most importantly, he brings happiness into people's lives with his music.
So this teacher bought Kenny G books to learn from. His idea was that a musician's job is to give something to the audience, not satisfy a dead theorist or please the ideals of a professor we had in College that will NOT be at the performance anyway. Any performer that can do that has something we can learn.
