I've studied music all my life and when i listen to Jon i hear and feel things as never before. Maybe at first i say "what is he doing?" Then something magic happens ! And my heat and soul say "Now i hear and know what that piece is all about!". It's like he takes me by the hand into a different, wonderful world . 😻
I believe he sees music in a different way than most musicians. But what's more is he has the ability to give u a peak of it that u can understand and follow.
It's always cool when two styles can be blended together into something totally surprising. I've only managed it a few times ... People like Jon and Chris Thile make it all seem so obvious! Like, how did Chopin NOT compose it this way?
Wow! We never know exactly where he's going with the next chord! I trust Jon is in the flow of a high power - not unlike JS Bach, though in a completely different musical realm. I'm happy to flow right along each step of the way.
I have listened to several great performances by Jon. This time my mouth fell and stayed open for the whole song. Magnificent is even too weak to capture the listening experience.
@@ignaciowarro5129 They would have to be professionals! As a social dancer of 15 years I would find this really hard to dance to! Too jazzy for most of us
@@madelinelees945 Yeah, that's why I said it would have to be choreographed. I don't think you could just get up and dance socially to it. It wouldn't do the song justice. I'm a novice Tango dancer but I'd love to see this staged.
You are so right about Jon being a gaucho 🎉and when you hear him interviewed, his love for his family is so strong and overflowing with love and joy. He has a beautiful heart and soul 🙏🏻❤️
You gotta get outta the house more and try to forget about the Steve Colbert show. There are many, many other young pianists that are way the fuck more talented than this cretin. Holy shit. There are people at Smalls Jazz club in NYC (youTube this) that play the fuck out of the instrument and are way the fuck more talented than this creep. Check out Julius Rodriguez. Holy shit. That kid can fucking play.
@@J3unG I would appreciate it if you would give me some names. I have recently discovered Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist. I am only speaking from my own limited experience. I still really enjoy Jon Batiste's verve and expression in playing the piano.
@@ArielVisionary Alma Deutscher, Zimmerman, Martha Argerich, Seong Jing Cho and the lis goes on and on. Langlang is a great pianist, but he deserves more of his fame for being a showman that other great pianist
@@everab1209 Glad you said that. Because although I admire Lang Lang's skill, watching him play doesn't make me happy. It does make me kind of jealous as he makes it even more obvious how far away I am from playing at a professional level. Love Seong Jin Cho
One of the things I like about Monsieur Jon Batiste’s musical performance is music 🎼 has a language of it own and it takes you to a different level and it ease you and it makes you feel super bien!
This is criminally low on views compared to the quality. Thankfully, I've found Batiste again through my love of Cory Wong or I'd probably never have see this.
A dark and smokey basement in Paris. People sitting around sipping Absinthe and smoking Gauloises. A pair of Apache dancers simulating sex on the dance floor. Jon having fun on the piano!
Jeff may have some onstage patter that’s amusing and he plays the same instrument as Jon but he’s as delicate as a baby elephant compared to Jon. I enjoy Jeff doing what he does but much like Hugh Laurie it’s just enjoyable ‘cause it’s proper music, they aren’t anywhere near the skill, depth or feel of Jon.

You should listen to Ahmad Jamal's "I Love Music"
Well said and so very true
@colton2307 What is different about the way he sees it youbthink, I'm curious? And how could I see it that way? Did he write this?
I think he is channeling a whole group of musical geniuses 😂🎉❤
I am so glad the talent and skill and work ethic was bestowed upon such a beautiful and gentle soul.
What a fantastic musician! God has blessed you with anointed hands. Great music!
If Nikolai Tesla was a pianist...this was beyond genius...the rapture of being caught in a musical dissertation and cyclone. Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥Bravo Sir
Wow, the way he feels the other instruments and these sounds is brilliant!
DAMN MY BROTHA!!!!!!!!! What an inspiration.
Sheesh. What more can I say he left me speechless.
Jon Batiste is a musical GENIUS!
Yes, he is truly gifted.
Nope. Not even close.
excelsior singular musical prodigy! Marlene Slotin
This isn’t music this is chemistry. I feel this and without any words I am full with this music
I feel and I am certain that Mr. Jon Batiste is sharing his love of/for humanity through his music. Thank You Sir!
Simply a GENIUS !!
Jon's music never fails to put a smile on my face... thank you sir! This piece was magnificent start to finish.
Goddamn Jon literally shredding it on the improvisation!
I love how he played the whole form and then came in singing on the chorus. That's real musicianship!
Wow! We never know exactly where he's going with the next chord! I trust Jon is in the flow of a high power - not unlike JS Bach, though in a completely different musical realm. I'm happy to flow right along each step of the way.
a dear friend shared this with me and my soul feels full. this journey was beautiful moments like these make life so fulfilling
Holy god damn world, this is amazing!
Damn...just damn...
Love you all from here❤
Be who you are.
I have listened to several great performances by Jon.
This time my mouth fell and stayed open for the whole song.
Magnificent is even too weak to capture the listening experience.
Pure Genius. Thank you for sharing your gift of music with such humility and grace.
I love this. I desperately want someone to choreograph a tango to this.
Jez D'ancer my thoughts exactly. Wouldn’t that be fantastic!!!
Just imagine that scene.. Ooof, as Tango originating from my homeland, I admit it would make one hell of a choreography under experienced dancers.

@@jezdancer4745 I see a tango in my head and feel it my ❤
Jon Batiste, you are the Gaucho leading the piano in a tango, on the argentinian pampas in the night. Thank You!
You are so right about Jon being a gaucho 🎉and when you hear him interviewed, his love for his family is so strong and overflowing with love and joy. He has a beautiful heart and soul 🙏🏻❤️
🎄❤️
CUALQUIERAAAAA
Mr. Batiste is amazingly talented. Just WOW!
Great job!
`Love your expression on the Nocturne..great dynamics
His fingers are made for playing instruments and that is what he is doing and he is the BEST!!!!! My Lord!
Masterpiece! I love the way he played this classical!
Jon knows he’s a beast.
Fantastic! This just blows me away. I consider Jon Batiste the best pianist of our times.

Best MUSICIAN of our time!!
Hot damn that progression at 2:40 tricked me into expecting like... eight different resolutions within 20 seconds. Jon, you damn tease!
Magnificent!
If God hear this, he will relaxe and think it's good!
One of the things I like about Monsieur Jon Batiste’s musical performance is music 🎼 has a language of it own and it takes you to a different level and it ease you and it makes you feel super bien!
Amen Brother! Keep playing the real music.
Bravo sir!
Amazing, I never listen something like this...beautiful
What a talent.
Jon wrote this? Tis catchy, fun!!! You can tell he feels it!!! Love this!!!
Speechless…makes my Soul smile
Omg .. wow !! Just ... wow.
Just brilliant ❤️
I find something ı miss in this piece of music
Man what a Show Jon
wow Jon i have been looking for your more classical pieces and this is wonderful.
FABULOUS. I knew his name but not his music. WOW!!!!!
Was Jon Batiste the best LFH guest ever?! I have dreams about a collaboration between him and Chris Thile!
This is criminally low on views compared to the quality. Thankfully, I've found Batiste again through my love of Cory Wong or I'd probably never have see this.
In answer to you question: YES! Here's a playlist headed up by this video, and every clip in the list is amazing. So much soul and talent out there!
BRAVO!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jon is a genius... keep going!
heavenly!!! what an artist!
Electrifying
Great musician; he does it all and then some!!!
Very playful. I love it!
👂🎼👀💖💕💗🔥🔥🔥
The Franz Liszt of our times! Bravo!!
A dark and smokey basement in Paris. People sitting around sipping Absinthe and smoking Gauloises. A pair of Apache dancers simulating sex on the dance floor. Jon having fun on the piano!
You are going way back, you must have gotten around!
Bravo!!!!
So moving! Pure musical genius!❤
MASTERFUL!🔥🎶
Sir Batiste, please tango with me forever 😂❤🎉
sick!
This stunning performance also reminds me of the piano battle scene in Tornatore's movie "The Legend of 1900."
Yes. Sounds like Jelly Roll Morton
That elbow smack was personal
Holy crap!
Lovely💕
❣❣❣❣❣❣
Magic!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Anybody know what show plays this in the opening credits?
Colbert
Just saw this.
I thought I my baby there.
Lovely.
Just lovely.
Please come to TORONTO!!!!
A God!
Awesome ^Nth degree
Wow!👏👏👏
The intro has a Jelly Roll Morton vibe :D
Sure wish the guy could play, though. :D He has quickly become my current favorite artist. Sent from heaven.
JB ohhhh YES!
How I wish, I could hear you play Siboney.
Jonh, Portugal (Guimarães) is waiting for you!
Gooosebumpin
🧡
😊
Some good shit :)
Tango
He and Jeff Goldblum need to get together for some ebony and ivory action.
marty martin they're not on the same level at all
Jeff may have some onstage patter that’s amusing and he plays the same instrument as Jon but he’s as delicate as a baby elephant compared to Jon. I enjoy Jeff doing what he does but much like Hugh Laurie it’s just enjoyable ‘cause it’s proper music, they aren’t anywhere near the skill, depth or feel of Jon.
🤯
This video predicted soul xd
Do I hear a little hint of Jelly Roll Morton?
1:57 🎉
Swings.
Rich Gumbo
Jon conjures that Steinway to bark like a barrelhouse upright that sat under a leaky roof for fifty years. And is a better piano for it.
very different mmm
yo bro we want Beethoven blues !!
July 2022
Democracy Now brought me here.

I hope i
Wonderful ! Listen to Ray Charles. Sometimes he could say more with less.
