The musician Jon Batiste is fantastic. His piano playing crosses Jazz, Blues, R &B, and some Gospel. His music is soothing, and uplifting. God bless you. Keep doing what you do best. The Love Story with you and your wife is so very beautiful. You’re both remarkable people. ❤❤❤❤❤Love
You can really tell the difference between pop stars and those that really took the time to study their craft before going on the world stage. Nothing wrong with either, but it's so refreshing to see the latter in a world dominated with the former.
I can't believe they didn't get to their feet for that. It friggin' brought tears to my eyes, it was so ... gah, no words. So everything, I guess, but without ever losing the heart. THE HEART!
My favorite part is when at 3:45 when he makes a conscious decision to play something different than where his hands were going to decide to play at that instant. That is the beauty of Jazz.
Fabio Facchini I think it's the same chord, but he decided to play a different pattern than what he first intended... I think. Still, he's amazing and wicked talented!
Jon is a bright light in an increasingly dark world. Always leaves me feeling hopeful listening to him sing or even just talking. Amazing & uplifting human being!
He truly is one of those "light ppl" like Prince, Karen Carpenter, Brian Wilson, Donny Hathaway, Aretha, Jiminy, SRV, Whitney, etc. Such lights were commonly snuffed out bc they couldn't create freely in the 50s-60s, especially, so they had to go early...imo anyway.c
Me neither!!! He's completely awesome inspiring. When he plays it sounds like angels dancing on the keys. I think he's totally inspired of the Lord. In fact I know he is! This is what the anointing looks like🙌🙌🙌 I hope I live next door to him in heaven so I can hear him worshiping the Lord and practicing.
Sebastián Vélez me too! I recommend you go watch his piano "battle" with Simon Helberg on Stephen Colbert. At the 6:12 mark you'll see the drummer with the cowboy hat shaking head in approval! It's really cool!
That moment at 3m47s is striking: Batiste consciously calculating which voicing he was going to perform next. That's versatility and virtuosity, to be able to play any musical color you wish to, at any time, giving the music a breathing, quality.
This man is remarkably talented. His performance at the recent Emmy's was like no other I have ever seen. Keep doing what you are doing Jon, no words, we so enjoy everything you do. God has truly blessed you with the highest level of talent.
Brought tears to my eyes, no joke. And despite all the shit that's going down at the moment (hello from June 2020), he makes me believe that it is a wonderful world.
This man can play piano out of this world. He is a wonderful human being. God bless you and keep you covered with his grace. You make this world a better place🙏🏽♥️
Consummate musician, singer and dancer, too! An awesome, hope-inspiring human being, BUT I also get a real kick out of his taste for beautiful fabrics and clothing, this man is a KICK. What a treasure for the entire human family!
If you close your eyes, you can picture all parts of life pass by with song-the beautiful, the chaotic, the solemn, the cheerful, the hope, and the rush of it all.
Jon Batiste is my music messiah ~ he radiates a loving presence and his musical expertise is phenomenal. I’m so happy when I listen to him no matter whether he’s playing, dancing or speaking.
It really is a Wonderful World. Thank you God for music and for all the wonderful things Jon mentions in this song. Thank you Jon B. for taking the musical talents God gave you and the medium of jazz, Then using them to bless us.
- Gritty, swingin', ragged, gorgeous tempos always makes my hairs salute the artists that raised them upright! - Batiste's range of musical techniques, here, are out of proportion. - The articulation, the dynamics, the styling, the clarity, the musical sentiment, the GORGEOUS musical RECONSIDERATION (@ 3:45)
I first heard him as a singer and didn't understand the hype for him. Now I understand that he is a master pianist and song interpreter for piano. #Respect.
666zlatan666 What the hell is wrong with you? One doesn’t post such hateful comments under a video of such a kind human being and talented musician! BTW I claim for myself to know the one or the other thing about music. And I only know John Batiste through Stephen Colbert.
@@666zlatan666 I may also be ignorant but I know great music when I here it. I have been blessed to of seen so many giants of jazz I only wish I could of seen Pops, but I feel his spirit when others play his music in such a fine fashion!
Woweee!! I’d never heard it played n sang like his b4. I already love Jon Batiste and Stay Human, since I see them often when I watch Stephen Colbert. I’ll just bet Jon can do the great classics, too. I’d LOVE to sit and watch n listen to him play some of them sometime. I think he’s amazing. Remarkable! A VERY talented young man.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen and heard. This is not the 2 mugs of an 8.75 abv Brown Ale I just had talking. This is not the edible talking. It comes straight from my soul. The soul of a passionate music lover who this song, the Louis Armstrong version, has special meaning to. It's from the soul of someone who loves jazz and blues and classical piano. It's from someone who adores musical talent and natural, emotional expression of your abilities. It's from someone who believes in and supports music as the most fundamental, uplifting, binding connection the human species has from one culture to another. A reason to embrace and enjoy the power, life, love and laughter music naturally brings to each and every one of us. Think about it. Can you look back over your life and NOT think of important time when music is NOT involved? Right now, even this measly first paragraph of words, letters and sentences is making you think of a time and place in your past that a song has a meaningful memory to it. Are you starting to replay the song in your head? Are you seeing the video for the song in your head? Or are you now trying to think of a specific memory of a specific moment in your past? Is it vague, or sharp? Is it about a person or a place? So many memories rushing to your mind, a cornucopia of happy, joyous, positive memories washing over you. But now those positive memories music brings you, takes you down a sad road. A road where your first heartbreak comes back to you. The first time you gave so much of yourself to someone else. You poured out your heart to them, gave them everything they ever wanted or wished for. You KNEW it was special, and only YOU could make them the happiest they could ever be. But alas, it wasn't meant to be, and you got your first of many restraining orders. But you moved on, you had to. It was time to take a new direction and legally had to move out of your home town. But that's okay. You'll get to start anew, amongst caring, giving, open-minded people who value passion and honesty. People who know the benefit of having someone among them who can be a positive part of their society and culture. Someone who knows the values of obedience, chastity and penitence. Someone who will take an eye for an eye for the community, and who knows the value of a blood debt. Some town in Arkansas or Alabamy. Oh no! Take your sinning mind away from all this! Not in this town. You will obey! And you will succumb to my will. And my demands! For Cthulhu requires it! Wait, what? Hold on! Ok, just proofread this and I don't know who that person is. So yeah, it's the edible talking. Except that first sentence.
I love everything Jon Batiste plays, sings, and that smile is contagious. What a wonderful human being.
Yes that smile is so innocent, so honest that it’s catching..
Yes ,I do the same. I watched Colbert daily because I always have a bonus with Jon Batiste. Thanks to you both.
Wonderful *diety in the flesh*
I find myself smiling whenever I see/listen to Jon !! He is contagious !!
I'd like to be as cool as Jon Batiste for five minutes.
Same here
The musician Jon Batiste is fantastic. His piano playing crosses Jazz, Blues, R &B, and some Gospel. His music is soothing, and uplifting. God bless you. Keep doing what you do best. The Love Story with you and your wife is so very beautiful. You’re both remarkable people. ❤❤❤❤❤Love
Who knew, sitting in and covering Colbert's gig so humbly, that Jon is one of the greatest players on the level of Ahmad Jamal, and other jazz greats?
Wow! Ahmad Jamal. I haven't heard that name in a long time. I wonder if he's on TH-cam somewhere....
I owned an Ahmad Jamal (vinyl of course) album. He was great.
Exactly. He was just waiting on the Lord to bring him forth & expose him to the world. He's ANOINTED.🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
The man is uber-talented and unworldly beautiful.
And People mag name Paul Rudd the sexiest man? I don't understand the US
You can really tell the difference between pop stars and those that really took the time to study their craft before going on the world stage. Nothing wrong with either, but it's so refreshing to see the latter in a world dominated with the former.
when Jon plays the piano it is so magical and he just flows with ease and he's just being who he is. He is a true blessing.
I can't believe they didn't get to their feet for that. It friggin' brought tears to my eyes, it was so ... gah, no words. So everything, I guess, but without ever losing the heart. THE HEART!
My favorite part is when at 3:45 when he makes a conscious decision to play something different than where his hands were going to decide to play at that instant. That is the beauty of Jazz.
I think he was about to make a mistake and he corrected it in his mind while playing in front of a crowd which is even more impressive
Fabio Facchini I think it's the same chord, but he decided to play a different pattern than what he first intended... I think. Still, he's amazing and wicked talented!
No mistake ☺️
That's a perfect moment Like when everything turns silent in a busy restaurant just a moment, then gone
Is it improv or part of another piece that he starts playing at 0:50 ???
Jon is a bright light in an increasingly dark world. Always leaves me feeling hopeful listening to him sing or even just talking. Amazing & uplifting human being!
He truly is one of those "light ppl" like Prince, Karen Carpenter, Brian Wilson, Donny Hathaway, Aretha, Jiminy, SRV, Whitney, etc. Such lights were commonly snuffed out bc they couldn't create freely in the 50s-60s, especially, so they had to go early...imo anyway.c
Now this is art! This is what we need to uplift the culture
the king has arrived
WOW. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! Takes my breath away!
Love Jon Batiste! Can't get enough of this musical treasure.
Me neither!!! He's completely awesome inspiring. When he plays it sounds like angels dancing on the keys. I think he's totally inspired of the Lord. In fact I know he is! This is what the anointing looks like🙌🙌🙌 I hope I live next door to him in heaven so I can hear him worshiping the Lord and practicing.
At 3:57, guitar dude aproves. I love it when other professional musicians are astounded.
Sebastián Vélez me too! I recommend you go watch his piano "battle" with Simon Helberg on Stephen Colbert. At the 6:12 mark you'll see the drummer with the cowboy hat shaking head in approval! It's really cool!
What a nice find. Thanks! I didn't know Howard could do that.
That moment at 3m47s is striking: Batiste consciously calculating which voicing he was going to perform next. That's versatility and virtuosity, to be able to play any musical color you wish to, at any time, giving the music a breathing, quality.
Agreed, and confidence to pause because he knows we'll wait
underrated comment
😉imagine how much practice
This is the first time I heard the voice of a piano, brilliant musician.
Probably one of the best piano performances I’ve ever heard. Pure genius.
This man is remarkably talented. His performance at the recent Emmy's was like no other I have ever seen. Keep doing what you are doing Jon, no words, we so enjoy everything you do. God has truly blessed you with the highest level of talent.
A very bright light in this world
I am glad that we have people like him to preserve jazz & blues for all of us
This guy lets me like jazz 😳wow!
Brought tears to my eyes, no joke. And despite all the shit that's going down at the moment (hello from June 2020), he makes me believe that it is a wonderful world.
☝️ This
Giving hope.
Yeah, you wrote that one while we were in the trenches
Came back 6 years later... it's still one of the most beautiful performances of this song ever.
Maybe moreso. The conflict and resolution means even more.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Batiste for giving us Jon!
This guy is special, a truly one of a kind
Absolutely amazed by Jon Batiste's genius at performing....
and he is a kind man. He has shown his loving spirit.
It doesn't get any better than when genius takes to the keys. #Briliant
This man can play piano out of this world. He is a wonderful human being.
God bless you and keep you covered with his grace.
You make this world a better place🙏🏽♥️
His fingers are stamping his mastery on the ivory piano keys.Give him a big applause.
Batiste is legit.
Jon Batiste is a Masterful Musical Genius!
I am so happy to have this beautiful man gifted with so many talents in the world.

Consummate musician, singer and dancer, too! An awesome, hope-inspiring human being, BUT I also get a real kick out of his taste for beautiful fabrics and clothing, this man is a KICK. What a treasure for the entire human family!

I'm not a musician but even I can tell he's so brilliant. There's something so fresh about him as a musician, performer and as a person
You are a gift to humanity🙏

Our world is still wonderful and we just have to believe!

Je viens de découvrir Jon Batiste et je n'en reviens pas ! What a wonderful world, malgré tout. Incroyable talent ! Cela fait tellement de bien.
thank you Stephen Colbert for introducing me to such a great talented musician !
I was visiting new york and went to a club with a friend. I was so happily surprised to see him play there live! :)
You ignorant don't know shit about music
