I don't know--I don't think I've ever heard Gorelick play that well.

You know, honestly, that clip really was more interesting than anything I've ever heard by the G-man previously.

Edit to say PS: I don't think I've ever made it through an entire Kenny G clip, to the end. But I definitely had no problem listening to this one. For reals.

Srsly - if I see the word "shred" in the same sentence as those two and there's no footage of their blood and/or stray flesh/bone bits hitting the wall and/or floor as the shredding is undertaken and continues I feel just a little cheated.

off topic, but worthwhile.

Somewhere John McLaughlin is choking on his cornflakes. Strike that, Pat Metheny is choking on his cornflakes.

I've seen a bunch of these over the past couple of years and I always end up in hysterics!

It must take quite a bit of time to put these together. The speed and number of notes matches the fingers.

[AllenLowe]

don't talk to me about Bolton.

Do tell.

Did you 'encounter' him at some point?

[AllenLowe]

well....when I worked for the mayor of New Haven, who was the first African American mayor of that city, I ran the summer jazz fest. Bolton was from a nearbye place - Milford, I think. Someone came up with the idea to ask him to do a benefit for our summer music concerts; we asked and asked and he was always "too busy." We got out of office - and the next summer he did a benefit for the new, White, mayor. I don't believe it was an accident; though they may not have intentionally snubbed my boss, if was part of a whole series of things that happened in which he continually got less respect than equivalent white politicians. I see it as similar to a lot of the things Obama has suffered - a sense that the White guy is the competent guy, the one you HAVE to listen to.
