Jazz before Louis Armstrong was a localized art form and after Armstrong it was a world wide phenomenon.  What was it about this man and his music? 

As you read the lyrics you can hear his voice…

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ "How do you do?"

They’re really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin’, I watch them grow

They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah
