Hardbopjazz Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 A week ago I was in NYC. I had stopped in J&R music and bought some CD's. I also saw some titles that I wanted but didn't have the money to buy at the time. They were very hard to find titles. I didn't want to chance not getting them. I had a brain storm. I decided to shove them in between Kenny G's CD's, hoping no one would look there and find them. Well, today I was back at J&R, and the 3 discs I stashed in the Kenny G's section were there. See, everyone has a purpose. Thanks Kenny. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 J&R in the old Downtown NYC! Second floor! Hell yeah! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I tried that once at Tower, hiding their last copy of Byrd in Flight in the Kenny G section, but someone found it before I got back! I don't know if someone was onto the trick, or some Kenny G fan out there got the surprise of his life... Quote
Guy Berger Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Uh oh... Tom, now that young Christopher is onto your scheme and will be stalking the Kenny G bin you're going to have to come up with a new plan... Guy Quote
Jazz Kat Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 Nah. I wont have, me looking at Kenny g's cd's at J&R on my conscience. BTW, I saved the bag from J&R. I love that place! Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted April 24, 2005 Author Report Posted April 24, 2005 Uh oh... Tom, now that young Christopher is onto your scheme and will be stalking the Kenny G bin you're going to have to come up with a new plan... Guy I'll have to choose another artist. Quote
robviti Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 all kidding aside, you might do better by picking a more obscure artist. sales staff are more apt to frequently clean up or restock a popular artist's section, and there's goes your hidden booty. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted April 24, 2005 Report Posted April 24, 2005 I can't imagine a place like J&R to run out of specific album and not re-stock it right away, much less have more than one copy. Quote
Guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Ahh, come on guys, Kenny G ain't so bad. Don't be jazz snobs. My first post Somebody has to stick up for Kenny around here. Quote
Free For All Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Somebody has to stick up for Kenny around here. Um, yeah, well, good luck with all THAT. Welcome to the board. Stay low and keep moving and you might just make it. Quote
DukeCity Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Stay low and keep moving and you might just make it. Serpentine! Serpentine! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 I have a friend who will yank every Kenny G CD out of the jazz section and spread them around a music store, as she believes that he is not a jazz artist at all. Frankly, I've thought about acquiring one used Kenny G CD and leaving it around my music shelves. When company asked me about it, I could reply "It's his only CD I like." But the CD iwould be superglued to the back of the jewel box. Dr. Herb Wong told me that this bestselling pop star had great bop chops as a high schooler, but the pablum he has issued on the pseudo-jazz label Arista make him the ultimate soundtrack for hell, along with George Winston.

Hardbopjazz Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Kenny G's music recently has been banned from Iran's airways. Well, so has almost all western music. Edited December 20, 2005 by Hardbopjazz Quote
