kenny g., hot or not?
Went to a very brilliant Kenny G. (not the white curly hair bloke) performance at Ronnie Scott's last Thursday. The interior had low ceilings, small tables on stairs each facing the front stage, walls were filled with black and white photos of jazz musicians, kind of like T.G.I. Friday's. Room was packed, dim and smokey, just the way I like it. You can order food and drinks but have to make an effort to get the waiter's attention. As I eventually got bored with Rachel Z's trio, Garrett and his young crew took the stage with such energy and passion. The first song you can see G showing off his unbelievable strength, making loud, high notes again and again whilst bending his back forwards and backwards. Second and third songs which I like very much were rhythmatic with catchy beats. Too bad it ended so quickly and we were stuck with Rachel Z again. By the time G was up for his second set, it was already 1.15am, way past my bedtime. All I can remember is that afterwards I was virtually in a coma and struggling to stay conscious. The age 60+ couple who sat next to us looked as relaxed and awake as ever--boy, I suck. Anyways, we hung around till 2.00 and vowed to find his songs on the Internet.
