Only this event would put Kenny G and Michael Brecker on the stage.
Just picking on Kenny G. I gotta say he was probably my preferred sax player during my teenage years. It's been years I don't listen to him...

Slip of the tongue is appropriate for Mr. G - Michael told me when asked by Quincy to do a tune with Kathleen Battle - G said; "Is she any good?"
