  • There's no law that says this song has to be at a certain tempo. That's why jazz is all about feeling. One night you might want to play it at a moderate tempo, the next night you might want to slow it down to a ballad tempo. As long as it swings it doesn't matter.

  • No, but that's your preference. I look for how expressive the musician is and what he or she brings out from within, instead of only liking what 'I'm used to hearing'.

  • TO PLAY IT AT A SLOW TEMPO IS FINE. Now had someone come out and sang it as a ballad, that would have been a problem. So this is fine!

  • BTW, just to clarify, this song was not written by Louis Armstrong (written by Percy Venerable), but it was written to be sung by Louis Armstrong.

  • I like Marsalis' playing a lot, but he really spaced out this song. I just don't like it-my opinion though. I can see how others might like it.

  • I never liked this guy's style of playing, but always prefered the more traditional sound anyway. I agree with some comments, that Hackett's horn was one, if not the sweetest around.

  • Don't know what there is that makes this arrangement not liked, Many songs have been played up and down tempo from their norm. A great one to pick up that "stray" at the end of the night.

  • Oh no, no, no...don't like this.

    This song should be loud, stupid and fast, that's what makes it awesome.

  • Absolutely!! Jazz is a music of freedom!!

  • Wynton is a good musucian, but this is nowhere as pretty as the traditional Bobby Hacket version. - & I like Pretty !! Dick Raddatz- Minnesota

  • Encore!!!!!!!!

  • Encore!!!!!!!!
