Kenny G Holds 45 Minute Note, "Best Album Yet!" Says Fans by Patrick Kirk GillockChesterville, WA - Unless you live in a sound proof cave then you obviously heard about Kenny G's world record for the longest sustained note on a wind instrument. Frustrated fans who were unable to attend the event last year can now rest easy. Easy listening that is… Capitol Records has recently announced that Kenny G's record-breaking event will be released this summer on CD and DVD. The double CD/DVD will be entitled "Long Winded" and it'll contain the record-breaking note (in it's entirety), Kenny's 30 minute warm up session and breathing exercises, and numerous hidden tracks. If that's not enough, DVD owners will get the added bonus of having audio commentary by Kenny G.When asked about the hidden tracks a record producer would only say, "This is not the first time Kenny G has placed hidden tracks on a CD. 1992's Breathless had a hidden track, but unfortunately very few listeners made it to the end of the CD. It's for this reason we decided to place secret tracks through-out the album… It might cause confusion with some listeners, but overall we think it will be an enjoyable experience that could really take off!"Kenny G could not be reached for comment because he was washing his hair.

“ By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture — something that we all should be totally embarrassed about. â€â€œ ...through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. â€â€”Pat Metheny, Interview on Jazz Oasis
