This song showed up at the hospital as I was holding my daughter for the very first time after she was born. God has a way of putting the right music in your life at the right moments in your life. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that moment of unexplainable Joy that all parents feel in that magical moment.
The saxophonist probably doesn't realize that the intro phrase is already childish. Important notes are a half step off. There are too many such parts in this performance. That's what makes Satchmo's regacy a blasphemy. That's why Pat Metheny told him no.
@@hiroono1 The saxophonist was Kenny G. I thought he did a wonderful job with this tune! It is very difficult to reproduce a piece of music (with permission, of course), add to it, and get it right. Learning a tune like this, and playing it by ear on the piano, is a different thing, and ALMOST impossible, but I did it, after not seriously playing piano, since I was 10. The reason it's almost impossible, is that when you're listening to music on the stereo, when you hear it the notes change pitch ever so slightly, because of the shape of the ear drum. To try and mimic on the keyboard what you're hearing, you have to go up half an octave, before it "sounds right." The minute you do that, you end up having to play sharps and flats. My Father used to call this, "Playing in the cracks." There's that extra note in between each key, that nobody can seem to find . . . !
@@deirdrejohnson3468 You seem unable to hear chromatic intervals. The notes Kenny G plays do not contain important intervals. You do not have the ability to understand them.
My grandmother grew up listening to Louis Armstrong and loved and respected him very much. I played this to her and she said how she loved how Kenny G added to this song not that it needed anything
ÉSTA JOYA ES UNA BELLEZA, LA ESCUCHO CASI A DIARIO EL MAESTRO LOUIS ARMSTRONG Y EL MAESTRO KENNY G , HACEN DE ÉSTA MELODIA UN DELEOTE PARA LOS SENTIDOS. AMO ÉSTA MUSICA, ME LLENA DE PAZ INTERIOR. DIOS BENDIGA A QUIENES GUSTAN DE LA BUENA MÚSICA Y A QUIENES NO, TAMBIÉN. 😉👍👋🙌👏
Well, I would play along to this song too. Who wouldn't? It's a lovely track. I often play like that at home, when I feel like playing some good stuff. Kenny G sold his recorded play-along - good for him. No one forced anyone to buy it. Kenny G is an OK musician and an OK artist.
I think all of the negative comments are pretty sad. I think Kenny G put a beautiful interpretation on this classic. I emphasize "interpretation." It was NOT meant to upstage or replace the original. Just an interpretation. Beautifully executed.

I was stuffing my face at a Chinese buffet the first time I heard this playing on the Muzak system. As a Trumpet player and fan of Louis Armstrong, I nearly tossed my Kung Pow chicken.
This is my alarm song in my handphone that wakes me up EVERY MORNING.....its part of my life ever since! Thank you Louis Amstrong and Kenny G, love this evergreen song sooo much!
As Pat Metheny said: "But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible. He, in one move, through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed about - and afraid of."
pat metheny could visualise the entire fretboard as a teenager @@obnoxious. and was mentored by gary burton - clearly he saw something in him. mf makes music in his 60s-70s n has many of the jazz greats respects
To all the haters: I don't follow jazz. I don't have the experience that might dictate being angry over how Kenny G covers this song. I just know that I've been playing the saxophone (alto) long enough to respect the clarity and smoothness of the tone. On top of that, I simply think that it sounds very nice. Unfortunately, Mr. Armstrong isn't here to settle the matter, but I hope that he would think better of this than you all supposedly do in memory of him. What a wonderful world, indeed.
Logician Writer That's probably why so many jazz-huggers hate him: he lets jazz haters to listen to his jazz! And then calling it "the mutilation of jazz and music by Kenny G". No wonder the genre is dying and can't widen its followers.
HOW COULD YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG? he is such a legend, especially for me because I play the saxophone and so did Louis Armstrong! He is amazing and will be remembered for generations!! Kenny g is awesome too on his sax!!! like me!!! :D
hmmm....I dont think Mr.Armstrong wouldnt mind another musician playing along with him, their musicians who try to make this a Wonderful World , so those of you who dont like...just move on to something you can relate to and enjoy more music that these talented musician share with us.Have a Wonderful World as Mr.Armstrong Puts It .
Why is there so much Dislike on here about this Version it beautiful I love this song Kenny G is showing respect to a Legend.And to all of you on here who said Louis Armstrong is turning in his grave Please get a life or better yet if you don.t like this version get off youtube
I just found this. (2024?) This was one of the tunes that brought me back to the piano, after not touching one, since I was 12. I'd put this on the stereo, and ATTEMPT to try and play it, but I found I was using a lot of the black keys! I persevered until I got it "right," (in my mind), and then my Father--who was an accomplished musician himself--came home from work one evening, heard the piano (and the stereo), stood behind me until I was done playing. It took a second or two, and then he said: "That, is the most difficult piece to learn how to play!" ("Sentimental Journey," is another one that's difficult to copy from stereo to piano). "How long have you been doing that?!!!" I said: "A week." No sheet music--just playing by ear. After that, my Father dug out all of the sheet music he'd put away, thinking he'd never play it again. (40's music). I was "challenged" daily, after that . . .
I don't get the hate, if you don't like the version it's alright. Don't stay on the video just let the good vibes be and appreciate the wonderful world
Music, like art, is best when it causes a ripple in the fabric of things. Love it or hate it, it made you feel something. Whether you hate it or love it, you took the time to listen (hopefully), and decide for yourself what you like or dont like about it. So thumbs up to Kenny.
You can't? How about putting the original Satchmo song in the Good Morning Vietnam movie without Armstrong's permission? Over a million Vietnamese died and maybe 50,000 Americans died with thousands still suffering the effects today. Was it a wonderful war? I think including the song in the movie ridicules Mister Armstrong because it makes him seem like a simpleton
Dueto Postumo sensacional unindo o Aniversariante do 05/06 Kenny G Com o Saudoso Louis Armstrong Negro americano neste classico dos anos 60 foi trilha sonora Mundo Maravilhoso quando a musica foi feita Kenny G era criança
"Not long ago, Kenny G put out a recording where he overdubbed himself on top of a 30+ year old Louis Armstrong record, the track "What a Wonderful World". With this single move, Kenny G became one of the few people on earth I can say that I really can't use at all - as a man, for his incredible arrogance to even consider such a thing, and as a musician, for presuming to share the stage with the single most important figure in our music. This type of musical necrophilia - the technique of overdubbing on the preexisting tracks of already dead performers - was weird when Natalie Cole did it with her dad on "Unforgettable" a few years ago, but it was her dad. When Tony Bennett did it with Billie Holiday it was bizarre, but we are talking about two of the greatest singers of the 20th century who were on roughly the same level of artistic accomplishment. When Larry Coryell presumed to overdub himself on top of a Wes Montgomery track, I lost a lot of the respect that I ever had for him - and I have to seriously question the fact that I did have respect for someone who could turn out to have such unbelievably bad taste and be that disrespectful to one of my personal heroes. But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible.

By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed about - and afraid of. We ignore this, "let it slide", at our own peril. His callous disregard for the larger issues of what this crass gesture implies is exacerbated by the fact that the only reason he possibly have for doing something this inherently wrong (on both human and musical terms) was for the record sales and the money it would bring. Since that record came out - in protest, as insignificant as it may be, I encourage everyone to boycott Kenny G recordings, concerts and anything he is associated with. If asked about Kenny G, I will diss him and his music with the same passion that is in evidence in this little essay. " - Pat Metheny
I can't believe intelligent adults carry on like the above. So you don't like him and that automatically trumps anything he does. You don't have to listen to it if you don't like it.
Beautiful Lyrics, Beautiful Instrument. They both make you feel good, if only for a moment, then sadly you have get back to what the world is really about, as evident in the comments.....hate.
When I was a kid, my Mum & Dad used to turn the volume up in the car when this was played on the radio. I hated it. Now many years on I love it, and with Kenny G on it I think it is much better that the original.
This is a social medium where it is encouraged to give your opinion. If you want to find a place of like minded people, join his fan club or go to his website. Perhaps you are confused about RUclips and it's purpose.
They like myself are jazz enthusiasts. They understand jazz, they understand that Louie would want this crap on his work. Imagine you are a painter and you paint something that the world identifies with you. Imagine decades later someone takes your painting and draws squiggles all over it trying to ride on your notoriety and makes a lot of money doing so. IF you were an artist that would kill you. Yes intelligent people can feel that way.
I never understood the hate for kenny g. Sure its not bop or fusion. Sure its smoothed out. But listen to whats on smooth jazz channels now. This stuff blows it away. Music is music and he's got enough tallent to make it work.

That's true about Satchmo's performance, but the problem is that this saxophone destroys it.
So sweet Kenny always adds somethin special to a song
@@calenajackson8772 It definitely has a weird fart-like smell.
Armstrong didn't die, god needed him as a vocalist for his band
The saxophonist probably doesn't realize that the intro phrase is already childish. Important notes are a half step off.
There are too many such parts in this performance. That's what makes Satchmo's regacy a blasphemy. That's why Pat Metheny told him no.

The people who disliked this don't appreciate the world and don't live in a wonderful world.
That's what you can say about this saxophonist.
My family used this song as the music set to my mom's video memorial when she died back in 2008. Still chokes me up when I hear it today. Love ya mom.

It is a Wonderful World with SOMEONE As SPECIAL as YOU and that Wonderful SAX Music!
You are the BEST!
We do indeed live in a beautiful world.

Can't you feel the delivery of "heart" of both artists? The masters of their crafts sharing some airwaves together. Blessed am I.
To me this is such a romantic song, especially with Kenny G. I’m in love with saxual music lol
What a wonderful piece!
Thanks!
I think all of the negative comments are pretty sad. I think Kenny G put a beautiful interpretation on this classic. I emphasize "interpretation." It was NOT meant to upstage or replace the original.
Just an interpretation. Beautifully executed.
agreed
"What God Wonderful" 🙏🏼
I saw Kenny G do this song live with Louis on a screen beside him. Awesome!
Sad to think of this world in this place and time...brings me back though 😢
A interpretação de Louis Armstrong é inbatível.Perfeita.
AMAZING! 🥰
My favorite Jazz Artist and song in one. Couldn't ask for more :)
Kenny G isnt a Jazz Artist.
uma das melhores musicas de sempre! boas recordaçoes antigas..
Just beautiful!!!
Maravilloza musica.....
Me encanta ....
Una voz preciosa bien editada...
Felicidades...
great louis, great voice. great job too, kenny g..
The people who aren't affronted by this have painted on smiles, hollow stares, and occasional violent twitching.
The irony being you uploaded copyrighted stuff for your channel?
Wow the irony arising between those two situations sure is oozing, very observant, your commentary is spot-on.
You’re disgusting.

Lovely photos and song!
I love this song but Louis Armstrong and Kenny G are worlds apart. One was a great jazz musician.........
元旦に聞いてます、去年は父が亡くなり、心も、体も、ボロボロでした。今年は、明るい日々を過ごしたいです❗
какая же прекрасная песня! )
좋아요 ♡
I Absolutely Love This Song!
What a wonderful piece what a wonderful play what a wonderful words...
I remember this when I was a kid
WOW, one of my most favorite songs, accompanied by fantastic pictures...
SO BEAUTIFULL ....MAKES ME CRY....
I was stuffing my face at a Chinese buffet the first time I heard this playing on the Muzak system. As a Trumpet player and fan of Louis Armstrong, I nearly tossed my Kung Pow chicken.
Chinese love Kenny G. One sung is sung in Chinese with Kenny G playing. I think it was something with "moonlight". It's a song with a simple melody.
Maybe a little like if Justin Beibler dubbed his vocals into The Beatles' "Hey Jude" track.
Perfect analogy
Don't ruin it you guys
You’re a criminal
Wonderful song.
This is my alarm song in my handphone that wakes me up EVERY MORNING.....its part of my life ever since! Thank you Louis Amstrong and Kenny G, love this evergreen song sooo much!

He sounds like some high school kid who's mother and grandma are listen to him. "you are good dear. you going to be professional on day"
This is amazing! The saxophone adds so much more emotion! :)
very good combination good job dude awesome :) ;)

I just found this. (2024?)
This was one of the tunes that brought me back to the piano, after not touching one, since I was 12.
I'd put this on the stereo, and ATTEMPT to try and play it, but I found I was using a lot of the black keys!

¿Quién aún escucha esta joya musical en 2020?
My favorite song in the world....our song....
beautiful..
Desejo que em 2022 as pessoas consigam se comunicar cada vez melhor e ver esse mundo maraviilhoso qye ja existe dentro de nos
I LIKE THIS MUSIC,ITS BEAUTIFUL
Great Song !!! I love it !!!
This recording removed any reasonable doubt that Kenny G's career was about cashing in for ego and $ rather than respect for the music.
His G'ness abominates the Louis Armstrong chesnutt. Mankind somehow survives.
I don't get the hate, if you don't like the version it's alright. Don't stay on the video just let the good vibes be and appreciate the wonderful world
LOVELY .
awesome song.
Music, like art, is best when it causes a ripple in the fabric of things. Love it or hate it, it made you feel something. Whether you hate it or love it, you took the time to listen (hopefully), and decide for yourself what you like or dont like about it. So thumbs up to Kenny.
