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.
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. 😉👍👋🙌👏
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
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
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.
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.
"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

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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 .
To all of you hating on kenny G for doing this cover with his saxophone prowess..shame on you, Louis Armstrong im sure would of loved this, and your meant to be thinking about wonderful the world is and your life, not your petty hate for an extremely talented musician
You are the exact opposite of what Louis Armstrong wanted in this world. A wonderful world. Shame on you for not living up to what Louis Armstrong hoped for.
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.
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
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.
Your right absolutely! This is horrible what he did to Louis's music. It really is disrespectful to the great music put out by Louis and other great muscians who have actually tried to do something unique.

Armstrong didn't die, god needed him as a vocalist for his band

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.
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
Oooooh beautiful thank you 🌹❤
he has such a soothing voice... love him
my jaw is dropped...not because it's good, because I'm horrified. a early 90s esque drum beat to Louis Armstrong??
no...why....why....
It is a Wonderful World with SOMEONE As SPECIAL as YOU and that Wonderful SAX Music!
You are the BEST!
Whomever wrote this song is a gift from God to humanity
That's true about Satchmo's performance, but the problem is that this saxophone destroys it.
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
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.
I don't see anything wrong with it and I love the original by Louis Armstrong

Who is Pat Metheny? I don’t give a rats ass, this is beautiful
Pat Metheny doesn't know what the guitar is for. I finally forced myself today to listen to his concert, I mean, he blows.

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.
"What God Wonderful" 🙏🏼

I don’t care what the haters say. I absolutely LOVE this version!
I gave this a thumbs up just because the comments are so entertaining
Me too!
Can't you feel the delivery of "heart" of both artists? The masters of their crafts sharing some airwaves together. Blessed am I.

I'm related to Kenny G and he used to take the worst poops in my house when he was about 12. It was always worst during the holidays.
I remember this when I was a kid
What a wonderful piece!
Thanks!
To me this is such a romantic song, especially with Kenny G. I’m in love with saxual music lol
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
I love this song but Louis Armstrong and Kenny G are worlds apart. One was a great jazz musician.........
Kennnny G
How Awesome and of course Louis Armstrong always Sings Beautiful But that SAX .... Amazing!!!!!!
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.

Kenny G isnt a Jazz Artist.
A interpretação de Louis Armstrong é inbatível.Perfeita.
Lovely photos and song!
Amazing.
какая же прекрасная песня! )
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❗
Best combination ❤
I saw Kenny G do this song live with Louis on a screen beside him. Awesome!
Awesome
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"
Great Song !!! I love it !!!

IF you were an artist that would kill you. Yes intelligent people can feel that way.
Enthusiasts? Nah...fake, wanna be purists.
This recording removed any reasonable doubt that Kenny G's career was about cashing in for ego and $ rather than respect for the music.
Added to my favorites after 10 seconds of the song.
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.

I think I can hear Louis turning in his grave.
Only an idiot like you would say that 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Oh dear, I can see why Pat Metheny was so angry.
Bagus
Huh?
very good combination good job dude awesome :) ;)
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.

I was "challenged" daily, after that . . .
Is this what Hell sounds like?
NO your fine that out when you get there
beautiful..
This was the song I used in my grandmother's slideshow at her wake. Every time I hear it, all I think about is my grammie.
Gerky sorry to hear about your Grandmother she would have been proud God bless

LOVELY .
Wonderfull

You are the exact opposite of what Louis Armstrong wanted in this world. A wonderful world.
