Xenophobia - what genre?

What genre (or genres) would you put the live version of Xenophobia that appears on ONA Live (that's one with "if you came to get your Purple Rain on, your in the wrong house" etc)?

Thanks for your help!

Would it seem out of place in a jazz collection?

Kenny G? Ooh, that's harsh!

I'm not sure why it's harsh to be compared to Kenny G, but... Kenny G always left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know why. And I'm a pretty big jazz fan.

I always thought Xenophobia sounded a little too 'nasty' to be compared to Kenny G.

sounds like a big band vibe like cab calloway without the vocals then switches to sounding like the arsenio hall show band... lol
