The Hook: You've been clear about your admiration for Grover Washington Jr. What was the most difficult part about learning to play his music? The challenges posed by Coltrane and Charlie Parker are a little more obvious.
Kenny G: As a student, the best way to learn is to emulate, and hopefully somewhere along the way you come up with your own sound. The thing that I hear, unfortunately, about people who go after Charlie Parker and Coltrane is that they really do sound like them. If you sound like Charlie Parker, people are going to compare you to Charlie Parker, and it's tough to beat him– same with John Coltrane. With Grover, I went after him, and I came up with my own sound.

Um site avec fotos.

Eis uma do camarada Fidel com 12 anos a pedir 10 dólares ao Roosevelt. (É uma boa ideia para as crianças lusas e o o Obi One tem umas para gastar).
Tenho de explorar esse das cartas!
Outro génio...
