YANNI
–
Tribute
Just
like
Kenny
G
is
frequently
the
brunt
of
jokes,
Yanni
has
also
been
reamed
on
many
occasions.
But,
as
with
Kenny,
Yanni
is
one
fine
musician,
albeit
his
music
covers
a
way
more
epic
spectrum
than
that
of
the
sax
wielding
curly-top.
This
is
the
first
concert
ever
to
be
staged
at
the
Taj
Mahal
(India)
as
well
as
the
first
appearance
of
a
Western
artist
at
the
Forbidden
City
(China).
His
world
music
flavoured
orchestral
creations
also
get
pop
and
modern
jazz
infusions,
and
are
fantastic
pieces
evoking
exotic
imagery
and
moods.
A
full
orchestra
(string
section
&
horns),
full
band,
traditional
instruments,
amazing
back-up
singers
and
of
course
Yanni
on
the
keys,
create
moving
music.
In
addition
to
the
live
performances
you
get
a
documentary
No
Borders,
No
Boundaries,
narrated
by
Christopher
Plummer.
It
looks
at
this
amazing
journey
to
India
and
China
and
how
the
shows
were
put
together,
the
welcoming
and
protest
from
some
sectors
and
also
injects
historic
information
with
a
travelogue
flavour.
Yanni
is
no
Richard
Clayderman,
taking
his
music
to
a
much
grander
scale.
On
top
of
this
the
Greek
born
Yanni
is
a
soft,
kind,
peace
loving
man,
his
message
spread
throughout
the
world
with
his
music.
Yanni
is
no
worse
than
Jean
Michel
Jarre,
but
I
think
because
of
his
hair
and
moustache
he
is
seen
as
less
cool.
Stick
to
your
guns
Yanni
and
stuff
‘em
all!
