Hi Dr-GO
I've learned riffs (stolen!) from people like Coltrane, Rollins, Phil Woods, Pete Chrisleib, Mike Brecker, to name a few. However, I can't recall ever chasing down a Kenny G lick.

What Dr. Mark... you mean you don't hold a "Kenny" G note out for 59 minutes?

There was a time when I could play for a really long time using circle breathing. I would use it before I learned how to control my air better (and more importantly) write in the breath marks on the music. I first learned how to circle breathe in high school and then later while in college, I began playing the digeridoo. Kenny G makes a lot of people happy and does play well. However, when I saw on YouTube "Kenny G does Giant Steps" and he simply played one frickin' note and circle breathes, that pissed me off. I was hoping to hear another side of Kenny G.. I now enjoy his playing when I hear it (use to hate him) but admittedly, I don't own any of his recordings or require any of his riffs but who knows, maybe he'll put out something that makes me say; "Hey, I need that riff!"
