You made my day with that post. I'm glad you fully quoted Metheny's statement because a one-line excerpt doesn't capture the raging glory of Pat Metheny's anger toward Kenny G.
It's an amazing statement coming from a mild mannered (but extremely talented) musical pluralist like Pat Metheny. It almost sounds like an ill tempered rant from a musical extremist like Charles Mingus, Ginger Baker or John Lydon.
