Movie Reviews of Kenny G - Live
Movie Review: The Greatest
Summary: 5 Stars
I've worked in and around the music industry for many years. I used to, in fact, manage a mid-level rock'n'roll band (not mentioning any names, so please stop pestering), but I love and appreciate all types of music. Kenny G is probably the greatest living saxophone player, and yes I realize that his critical reputation is not all that positive. But time will tell exactly where Kenny G fits into the pantheon of great jazz horn players; my feelings are very strong that he will eventually be ranked among the "giants" - if not for being a true innovator (though his unmistakable tone is inarguably unlike any other), but for his songwriting and general presentation of his music.
Of course, music is primarily to be listened to, which is why I held out for a long time before adding this dvd to my vast collection of Kenny music on CD. If you could wear CDs out, I probably would've had to buy three or four copies of his "Live" album by now. There is, as with so many artists, a great deal gained by hearing formerly studio-bound music performed for a live audience. Suffice it to say, and my 5 star rating conveys this I'm sure, my only regret is not having purchased this DVD companion sooner. Sometimes seeing a performer so in touch with his audience, as he communicates musically, is a vital part of the experience. Such is the case with Mr. Gorelick (yes, that's what the 'G' stands for, for those of you that always thought Kenny was just trying to be mysterious and cool!).
And a note to a reviewer who claimed some other musician holds the record for 'longest single note held' - check Guiness and you'll see what the truth is. Besides, it's not exactly evidence of talent or artistry to hold a note for 45 minutes anyway, I am disappointed someone with Kenny's integrity would even participate in something that basically amounts to a sideshow act. Trust me, I can overlook it.
