I would have to say that Kenny G could only swing if he was hanging from a
rope in a strong breeze. BUT, Kenny Gorelick on a tenor really can bop! I
was listening to my local NPR/Jazz station and hear an old track of Kenny
before he shortened his surname(sorry Simon I don't remember the album.)
Back then he played great jazz.
