This song (Armstrong's) used to make me really sad, similar to the ways Somewhere Over the Rainbow and You Are My Sunshine-do. They're songs that when taken at face value feel fairly innocuous but when are examined more closely, are felt more deeply, they hit in this really melancholy way. Then this came along and I am left thinking, in spite of all the present day troubles, yeah, it is. I still have hope and see the potential for it to be... This is such a special performance and such a reverent piece. Dear Jon Batiste, you're an alchemist and a deeply needed balm. Thank you for all you give.
I agree
ALCHEMIST is such a perfect term for his approach to playing and creating music.
We need more Jon Baptists in the world who bring so much joy,passion and compassion! ❤❤❤❤
Don't you loooooooooove it when you get to know a being totally committed body mind and spirit to his talent . That is called LIVING YOUR PURPOSE.
Ha un grande talento! Bravo, intelligente è straordinario 😮ne nascono uno ogni 30/40 anni

Humble man. Tremendous talent.
Him and wife wife are salt of the eart! Such beautifully talented souls! May GOD continue to bless them.
A MASTERPIECE THAT NEVER GOLDS OLD
Danced with my mother at my wedding to this song. She would have loved this version. Beautiful.
❤ I’ve listen to this five times in a row. May 25, 1995 we had the celebration of life ceremony for our twins to welcome them into the world….. this was one of the songs that was sang. Now they are 30 years old and making huge waves of hope and inspiration for the world. It is a wonderful world. Thank you Jon for a beautiful, heartfelt performance.
What a lovely way to introduce your babies to life itself !
Can’t think of a more fitting song !
I bet there were a few tears shed when this song was sung as a tribute to your wonderful infants ! 👼+👼
What a l
He’s a national treasure. Awesome human being as well as musician. ❤
I could not agree more ❤
This man is a global treasure!! Thank you! I needed this today. I’m so grateful to live in a world with this beautiful artist!!!
Captivating!!!!all that was missing was that hearty smile..Batiste is definitely one gem that shall stand out for years!
Jon Batiste is so special. This piece of music is like a journey, the progression is awesome. What a beautiful piece.
And not just him, all 5:31 those talented people on stage!
WELL DONE TO EACH PERSON PARTICIPATING !!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU ARE OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONALS, I LOVE IT WOW BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!!!
With all the troubles we are in , ‘I said to myself , what a wonderful world’’… let us just embraced it and try to be kind to one another . ❤️❤️❤️
Astonishing rendition... I've never heard a better cover of this song. Delicate, emotive, passionate, joyful and soulful. ❤
When James Booker passed in 1983, I think his spirit wandered around the New Orleans area [as spirits down here often do] and found a new host for his spirit. Jon playing is like Booker without the demons inside, his soul is angelic and his playing has reflected that. He keeps on getting better.
Check out Beethoven's Blues.
Thank God for music,no matter what you're going through, how bad the situation may be, sometimes just the right music can make it seem better or at least give you a different perspective.
Ohhh my…I cried !!! How beautiful! This is a reminder… I have to find the Wonder that exists in this dark world. What a beautiful, pure spirit!!! Thank you John Baptiste 🥰🥰🥰xoxo
❤
The world is beautiful, and always will be. Some peoples actions are not so beautiful and can be destructive. That’s why this song is so important in my opinion to remind us, just look up at that rainbow and the small children playing.
Such a beautiful song. My father passed last week and your song has brought me some level of comfort. Thank you.
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss your father. Take care of yourself during this time.
WoW...I have goosebumps when Jon Baptise plays..
Beautiful Soul makes Beautiful Music. You bring Lightness to our troubled world Jon Baptiste.
What beautiful piece of music 🥺
❤
The conductor is floating ❤❤
Very handsome too just like Jon!
@@maureencolleranbattey1090yes mam❤❤❤
Amen. What a beautiful conductor ❤❤
Most beautiful version of this song ever. Thank you so much sweet Jon. God love you
The unique Jon Batiste
Best artist of his generation❤
Jon Batiste.
Enough said.
What a Wonderful performance!
Very nice rendition of a beautiful classic. Thank you.
I am new to this version of: »what a wonderful world ».It’s beautiful.
I have to admit that the repetition of that one note gets under my skin. But Mr. Batiste does lighten my world.
This whole arrangement gave me the ick several times. He’s such a good musician and I wish he got a better version. Was it arranged by Ben Folds?
WHY IS THAT? YOU MUST BE A PRO PIANIST YOURSELF. ALTHOUGH I LIKED IT A LOT. SIMPLICITY DOES IT FOR ME IN MUSIC. SO WITH ALL THE DYNAMICS, I LIKE REPETITIONS A LOT. ELSE I GET DISTRACTED WITH TOO MUCH TRANSITIONS. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A RESULT OF ADHD OR SOME.
Always sensitive and unique interpretation.
ジョンデンバさんの声は心地良くて癒やされてます❤ありがとうございます♿
What a wonderful we so easily lose sight of. Thanks for reminding us! 🥰
I’ve always loved his beautiful version of What A Wonderful World, but his version with an orchestra? Ugh so marvelous❤️

First Dance, thanks and yes!
In tears…this is stunning. 🥹
So much sincerity in this man and the whole orchestra that shines through each moment. Unbearable (to me) in January of 2024 as the world fails to stop horror in Gaza.
The tune is memorable. This version sounded different than the ones from Louis Armstrong years ago. It sounded totally original with a symphony orchestra in the background.
Who the heck does a 16/16 beat song??? Masterpiece!!!
Gorgeous
Wow!!!
That was the song my husband and I walked back down the aisle to as husband and wife. This made my day.
A somewhat sombre beginning, but I found it reflective of a 2023/2024 world. Still a thread of hope for a wonderful world. Peace and Love☮💌
And I think to myself?! Self?❤❤
Unic great rendition of What a Wonderful World. Very preatty!
Magnificent!
Wonderful Song …Wonderful Arrangement ! ❤💖❤️
Beautiful Jon Batiste!
