Oh have I mentioned the "intellectual" who likes jazz because it makes them feel superior, and cleverer than the masses who like rock, rap, reggae, or even the sisters of mercy. <br/><br/>All he did was elevate the self congratularly, high note of onanism, the saxophone solo (note: its at least a semiquaver above the guitar solo), into something that shifted units. <br/><br/>No worse than Jim Morrison really. But then I'm not a great fan of him either. Kenny G is no worse than ageing corporate types who think they are still hep because they play jazz music at the weekend.
