Everybody's been handy with some wacky comedy, but no one has really

answered

the question, and I'd really like to know: Is Kenny G. known to be a

competent

jazz player when he wants, and just chooses not to? Or can he not really

play

jazz? Also, what is thought of Grover Washington, Jr.'s ability to play

real

jazz? Is he respected?

met G caddying for him at a club in LA one day and mentioned I liked his stuff he did with Jeff Lorber - and then he said he never recorded anything with Lorber - insisting on it with his friend who was there with him as I referenced some Lorber albums I thought I saw G's name on - and for the rest of the day he joked around about that yet was also serious about it - repeating it many times during the walk that he never recorded with Lorber - yet I knew that he did and still have no idea why he was denying it and was so adamant about it
