Phil W Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Citing a list of notable soprano saxophonists from Sidney Bechet to Wayne Shorter, Liebman goes farther, mentioning Kenny G. "The truth is that if you have an individual sound on your instrument, you have won the game. Regardless of idiom or style, it's something to be recognized and respected. It's something to strive for." Whoa! http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxofunk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Love him or hate him, Kenny G has made a fortune off his music. Are you trying to make a Kenny G thread on a Bass forum? Anathema! - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMPires Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I like Kenny G www.myspace.com/davidbassportugal "And then the magical unicorn will come prancing down the rainbow and we'll all join hands for a rousing chorus of Kumbaya." - by davio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil W Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Dave Liebman is way to important for us to want to discuss Kenny over him - regardless of how we feel about Kenny. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 ""Storytelling. This is what we do," he explains over the sustained applause of a wowed audience. "The job of a good jazz group is to take the listener on a voyage. That means tension and release, and flow,"he adds. "A beginning, middle, and end, but not something that's always expected," he explains, slipping into the mind of a listener. "Ah, they're going to get loud now. You know what? You're wrong. We're not going to get loud now. There'll be a drum solo soon No, it's bass, instead," he says, smiling at bassist Tony Marino." - Liebman http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxofunk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Pat Methany speaks wisely. I owe Liebman a listen. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 He's an awesome player. If you ever get the chance to hear him speak - go! I think he gived the best clinics. I saw one where he didn't play hardly more than a few noted just talked - and he is a great talker. http://philwbass.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
