True, but you could substitute Chuck Mangione or Russ Freeman or even
Dave Brubeck for Kenny G and wind up with jazz with far different
sensibilities  than much of Rollins or Sun Ra or Coltrane, and (to
continue using fans of rock music) a lite-rock fan would be a lot more
likely to prefer the former, while a heavy-rock fan might tend toward
the latter, regardless of their knowledge of or affinity to jazz.
