what a wonderfull world KENNY G/ LOUIS ARMSTRONG

[JeffTele]

What a horrible rape of a classic song. Too bad Louis wasn't here to defend himself.

[rubencio1967]

maravilla de cancion,unica

[distributedcake]

Kenny G is a fucking GOD! If only Louis Armstrong hadn't died too soon to thank him... Metheny should do like Martino and opt for a brain reboot, the fucking scoundrel! So jelly of some SICK LICKS!

[mastahbitch]

I don't dislike videos often but this is just fucking blasphemy

[jew789000]

Oh my fucking god. I thought I hated Kenny g enough as it was.

[JazzKeyboardist1]

@jew789000  lol. I guess that makes you a masochist for listening then

[4JayeP]

This is pure shit. Kenny G isn't a hair on Louis Armstrong's ass. Go back to the woodshed, you hack.

[lebocharp]

Louis Armstrong is turning in his grave...

[Yellowcardfan1]

Not impressed.

[JazzKeyboardist1]

A Pat Metheny Puritan is a person who is haunted by the fear that someone, somewhere is having fun listening to the ''dumbest music there ever could possibly be''',, some people do not realize that the Louis Armstong estate Educational Foundation gave permission for this, and the Evil Incarnate Kenny is probably its biggest contributor,Wouldn't it be funny if Kenny outlived Metheny and Pat's estate gave kenny permission to record over Pat's songs? lol, and no I do not like to listen to kenny

[BooNube]

@JazzKeyboardist1 An estate serves to make money, not preserve an artist's integrity or legacy. Their endorsement means nothing.

[CyberNinjaify]

I played this in jazz band and loved it

[MessagesForTheSoul]

Simplemente Bellisimoooo!!...a mis favoritos...besitos.

Miguel.

[RonBurgundy609]

louis would not approve.

[split427]

Haha what the heck is this...

[HigherEnlightment]

I just don't understand how this song came to be at all... Did Kenny G wake up one morning and thought "The original by Louis Armstrong was nothing, so I'll stick some sax bits into it, and this will surely make it a lot better".

I mean why do it, to what end?...

[abehammy]

If Kenny G were so serious about being a good sax artist, why the hell did he guest on a Katy Perry song? I smell a sell-out!

[abehammy]

Fuck him for thinking he's good enough to overdub a song by someone none other than Louis Armstrong.

[ahyankees69]

Fuck you man. This is a great song

[matthk]

"...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 ..., he did something that I would not have imagined possible. He, in one move, ... shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present..." - Google methenyonkennyg.htm for the entire article.

[Thundermonkeyms]

Disgusting and shameful. He should never have released this song. I like his work, but this ruined it kinda. D:

[61modified]

Ah !! The old race card. So easily thrown into the mix. People just think they have Carte Blanche with that statement. Well guess what ? The race card has expired. Time to move on folks. This is 2011 not the early 60s. Put all your negativity into positive thoughts and actions and you will succeed. Have a sparkling day people.

[61modified]

Such nastiness with all the negative comments. I just dont understand it. I think you tube should disable comments. It brings out the worst in people. If you were all in the same room would you make these comments to each other face to face ?? No way in hell. The internet is too easily used to talk shit and hide. What a sorry bunch.

[dleddy14]

So this is why people want to beat up Kenny G. I think I get it. On another note, he has definitely elevator musicized this song.

[LegoDemolition13]

Kenny G,

Get the fuck off of my track.

Louis Armstrong

[Khalid196710]

What a start for a lovely day....

[handicappedhoods]

This is just Kenny G's instrumental Kareoke. The difference is, he recorded it and people paid for it. I can't get people gullible enough to buy my music in this day and age, but god damn, he had no right to desecrate Louis and sell it. If the very first comment hadn't been said yet, I would just say that instead of this long spiel.

[SlimeAmTheBest]

@handicappedhoods It's musical necrophilia (as Pat Metheny says)... dubbing your tracks on dead performers.

[FliegendeHollaender]

metheny was not excited about this. who would be?

[666gothicmetal]

39 personas que no saben lo que es buena musica, no se por que existe ese tipo de gente, pero esta musica es genial, exelente video!!

[gotmeagrape]

That bastard. This is upsetting. I dont wish harm on him I just want him to go away.

[guynahmias]

No Kenny, leave that! LOUIS is not your toy. Bad dog! Bad Kenny. Tomororw we'll go to the pet store and get another pudel

[guynahmias]

No Kenny, leave that! LOUIS is not your toy. Bad dog! Bad Kenny. Tomororw we'll go to the pet store and get another pudel

[RhythmicPassion]

Sacrilege

[dekritg]

Kenny killed Louis Armstrong

[RagingBull923]

This is the worst thing to happen to a song since the Nazis added the Horst-Wessel-Lied to the end of Deutschland Über Alles. Kenneth Gorelick is a plague on the face of jazz like a flesh eating bacterium. It can no longer be admired as a genre by the new listener, so horribly has it been perverted.

[ozyrinis]

This is very ugly stuff.  Very bad taste.

What is interesting about this recording is the juxtaposition between very cheesy out-of-tune sax and a voice so tasteful that stands beyond what can be verbally expressed. A monument of arrogance and of inability to understand.

Really sad.

[GuruSebastianXerxes]

Kenny G is looking after his fans. You may not like him- but he is the one who sold 75 million records. Credit where its due- he is selling records- most of you are not. He is a business man.

[matthk]

@GuruSebastianXerxes What a silly point to make.

[GuruSebastianXerxes]

[dymaxia23]

@GuruSebastianXerxes I hate it when people try to defend shitty music by pointing out how well it sold as if selling albums is the point of making music. Is that the point you are trying to make? Might as well defend terrorist attacks solely based on how many people they killed, without questioning whether they aren't horrible, shameful, destructive acts...much like Kenny G's decision to piss on Louis Armstrong's memory.

[GuruSebastianXerxes]

@dymaxia23 Osama actually set out to make a difference in the world, and stuck his neck out. You complain about terrorists, as well as Kenny G- but when are you going to take risks, or make a stand for what you believe in 

[matthk]

@GuruSebastianXerxes Oh come on. You really can't make statements like this. How do you know that people posting here aren't 'taking risks' or 'sticking their necks out' in their daily lives? It's a pointless, empty thing to say.

[skunkfunk89]

That motherfucker even threw in a key change, I had to renew my old account just to give this a thumbs down.

[goshaix4]

im writing this on the laptop because i broke my screen

[marzdj]

two great talents..... then you get 19 dislikes who can't even do what these two musician can do .... and i think to myself what a sad world......

[korkingkid]

@marzdj One great talent... What kenny G do there is easy.... He just do the real "What a wonderful world" and some other notes to show he's with Louis...

[guichoman]

Another example of the white man exploiting a black man. Kenny G go to hell!

[dleddy14]

@guichoman I think Kenny G sucks and this his actions as a musician are sort of sickening, but so is playing the race card in this situation. That is just as sickening.

[rsala23]

Ok, you can play a CD on your hi-fi system and practice your instrument while listening. That's acceptable. You may want to learn from the best, so there's Louis Armstrong and that's the one you want to listen to. You may rec yourself so you can listen to what you did. Releasing this recording, however, is pretend you are as good as mr. Armstrong, that he'd love to play with you, and that your audience is stupid enough to agree with you.

[Jay435]

That Kenny G would compare or allign himself with one of the all time greatest grand masters of music is laughable and indicative of having serious dillusions of grandure. If it had been Wayne Shorter, Micheal Brecker, Cannonball Adderly or John Coltrane, it would have been more excuseable but G isn't even that good and more importantly - none of those guys would dream of doing this. One thing all serious musicians know is that messing with perfection is in itself an act of mournful stupidity.

[daveyj10]

Pat Metheny = 1 .. Kenny G = 0

[KhalidFarah1113]

My Best...it is the real good start for a day for a life for a hope for a dream...feel so cheerful

[Sicmanofva]

Can you flag a video for offensive content? I think I'm going to take a Jimi Hendrix song and replay all of the guitar because I'm better than Jimi Hendrix.

[eductonne]

waow waow n waow again!

what a wonderful song

[Sicmanofva]

@eductonne What you meant to say: "It WAS a wonderful song until fuckstick here spread his cheeks and deficated all over a masterpiece". It's like giving your kids a box of crayons and having them color over the Mona Lisa.

[eductonne]

@Sicmanofva ??? I can say that I like this song ?????

[Sicmanofva]

@eductonne Yes, the original version is fantastic, you should check it out some time.

[eductonne]

@Sicmanofva I listened and I prefer this version. The music is better on this version as the voice of Armstrong leaves interchangeably.

[Sicmanofva]

@eductonne Recording a new version all together would have been way better than taking a deceased Jazz legend's recorded work, editing out his Trumpet parts, and replacing it with your own crappy soprano sax is offensive to musicians and represents the decline of humanity as we know it. Many years from now after humankind has disappeared, some intelligent life form could excavate evidence of our civilization, find this recording, and decide that humankind achieved absolutely nothing.

[eductonne]

@Sicmanofva You know what? I love Armstrong. but I also like this version of "What a Wonderful World. " It's all so do not leave me with your delusion of humanity and other. Now I wish you a good day from France.

[matthk]

@jebsax2006 Great link.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS ARTICLE BY PAT METHENY NOW!!

Go, hurry! Why are you still here? GO!

[TECUnicorn]

Fucking musical necrophilia...what miniscule ammount of respect I had for Kenny G went out the window with this. Someone needs to bring Armstrong back from the dead so he can fucking punch-out Kenny for doing this shit. Seriously, he's either an arrogant prick or the biggest dumbass on the planet for pulling this.

[Revandeman]

@TECUnicorn my thoughts exactly.

[sounderskid21]

this song could go on trial for assisted suicide of a jazz musician

[bafboofa]

the best instrumental and Jazz music Kenny G

[blah148]

kenny g is a f*cking crook who will do anything for money.

[GuitarFiction]

Louis would roll over in his grave...

[peritsan]

I was physically sick after the first 5 seconds. at ten i threw up and turned it off. i will have nightmares tonight.

[jbardenmusic]

@peritsan Yes this is indeed an insult to Louis Armstrong and Jazz in general.

[OrientalBrotha]

@peritsan I made myself sit through the whole thing to see what the hype was all about. Then I went to the doctor's and he told me I had a week to live.

[peritsan]

@OrientalBrotha it's too bad i caught this comment too late... unless of course they found a cure? i suggest a fluid I.V. of sweet tunes, that might do the trick

[umilyhoang]

@peritsan - it is very sad that you can't enjoy the truth beauty of this music.

[ZorbaTheDutch]

Don't forget to buy Kenny G's Matthew Passion as well.

[NebunLaCap]

@Djavidus you can actually say this doesnt even sound good?

[Djavidus]

@NebunLaCap As a matter of fact, it sounds horrible.

[1978fabin]

SIMPLEMENTE, QUIERO UN MUNDO MARAVILLOSO, 

[snoopbuggybug]

Kenny is one of the greats! I'd put him right up there Laurel and Hardy. His comic timing is impeccable!

[larryconcha30]

kenny g sabe como llegar a lo mas profundo del alma

[fuckalpascia]

Fuck Kenny G! He defiled the king!

[NebunLaCap]

@moldefusion chill out bro, and have a wonderful day

[AmazingJazz99]

Perfect song to start the Day. Two great Masters @ work. Sit back and Relax Guys !!!

[matthk]

@AmazingJazz99 One great master, one constantly-playing-sharp twat.

[jorgeandres1990]

sin duda alguna la mejor musica instrumental.

[isosaxy]

fuck this.

[MultiNihil]

me  encanta
