Pat Metheny drags Kenny G. through the mud: http://www.jazzoasis.com/methenyonkennyg.htm

I don't care for Kenny G, but I generally don't listen to a lot of jazz anyway.

But statements like how Kenny G isn't actually skilled (compared to Metheny)...

But he did show a knack for connecting to the basest impulses of the large crowd (empahsis mine)

strikes me as a little sour grapes.

"I'm better than Kenny G. but he just dumbly connects to dumb people who aren't smart enough to like me becasue they're dumb and so is Kenny G.."

That he ends his blog with complaining that a clip of him on youtube is out of context, and he's shocked because "Polish people used to be cool. What happened man?" leaves me thinking Metheny is more of a tool than affecting my opinion of Kenny G at all.
