Pat Metheny on Kenny G

Well, I can understand why a lot of people say they don't like jazz,
because right now sometimes you say the word "jazz" and people
think of some of the worst music on earth like for instance Kenny G.
I mean, you know, there's nothing more stupid than that. Let's say so.
That's the damnedest music there ever could possibly be in the history
of human being. There could never be music any worse than that.
And now people think that that's what jazz is. Well, that's not what jazz
is AT ALL. Jazz is at its best the most incredible music. It's just that like
in rock & roll, 95 percent of it really sucks. It's just the really good stuff
that's really great, and that's exactly the same with pop music. It's just
like that in jazz, it's just that it takes a little bit longer to discover
the good stuff in jazz, because you're going to the record store
and there's so many records that you don't even know where to begin.
You could find somebody that'd help you to learn about jazz, somebody
who knows about it.
