[Dixielandjazz] The Kenny G Effect

[Hal Vickery]

A few years ago AT&T Broadband or whoever what is now Comcast here in IL
recorded a concert by Kenny G's group from Green Dolphin Street in Chicago.
One moment caused me to laugh so hard I almost split a gut.  After one of
Kenny G's interminably boring sessions of playing scales someone in the
audience let go with a "Whoo!"  I think he was thought that's what jazz fans
are supposed to do after a great solo.  Either that, or he is the type who
could be emotionally moved by paint drying.

Henry Mason wrote me off list and wondered if there is a Mozart Effect, is
there also a Kenny G effect on children? Maybe so. After repeated listening
the following happens.

KENNY G. EFFECT: Child exhibits a morbid fascination with riding elevators
in buildings all over the USA to listen to the music while clapping on the
beat, and saying "cool".

Who will disprove it?
