Its amazing how easily the members of the "real" band are able to come down to the level of these two (who "can't" play their insturments), and make it sound as though the entire output was intentional. Not as easy to do as you might think. Awesome musicianship.
The album's better ... Because the band are exceptional... And progressively "gets better" as he finds little ways to riff and where the general notes are... It's hilarious when he's just bad but it's funnier as he starts to sound better but better than really terrible.
Man I love his voice so much, could literally just listen to that voice all day long. His distinctiveness between Archer and Bob is so subtle but so effective
As an amateur keyboardist, the first time I heard Jon in an interview and sort of a review of his album and a couple of tracks were played on either NPR's 'Morning Addition' or 'All Things Considered', I nearly had a third stroke as I was laughing so hard. My father was a serious Jazz pianist as is my brother and they both would appreciate this humour and also laugh their heads off. This is absolutely BRILLIANT and I appreciate his humour and must remember to buy the album as my son (another musician in our family) and I will laugh together. Bravo Jon! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
well it's not the first time he's picked up a trumpet lol. I've seen him with one before. I have spent about an hour with a trumpet before in my life time and I could probably do what he did. If you're already a singer, and know somebody well who can play it does help a lot.
Reebok Thom Gaming I played for years....he clearly had picked up a trumpet before. most can get noise to come out of it....he has an embouchure that has some experience. he has also used the word embouchure before, which is evidence that he knows how to play a bit.
Considering the hard part with a trumpet is knowing how to do the actual blowing part, after that for this particular situation it's just a matter of wiggling your fingers till you get something that sounds alright
In all likelihood Colbert knew at least how to buzz on a mouthpiece before this, if he had really done it cold he probably would've just blown through it and not made a sound
In a somewhat recent interview Colbert told a story about having to learn another similar instrument in a very short amount of time, as someone's understudy, but I can't remember the details right now. Anyone else remember? I'm certain that's why he could handle getting some notes out.
Allan Felix ohhh lol, I didn't think that the show would really kill him off, but I guess we'll have to see how it actually pans out. these things can be misleading on purpose at times.
He's in so many things like the president in Monsters Vs Aliens. He's such a great voice. He was homers life coach in the simpsons. lol, I love when colbert's voice is in stuff.
The album version of that track is way better because it actually sounds like he was trying to play as opposed to this where he's just mashing the keys.
Holy shit I'm buying this record! As a guy who groomed himself to be a session drummer, this whole idea is brilliant. Just the unmitigated audacity of getting away with it, and cutting a record?! Never saw this cartoon before either. Looks like it could become the next Simpsons!
Reminds me of a band called Half Japanese. They basically did the same thing by going into the studio to record a rock album and none of them really knew how to play their instruments. It's actually quite amazing how something great can come out of chaos but they pulled it off. Check out their song called "Firecracker, Firecracker" to get an idea of what it sounds like. I, too, support Jon's endeavor into jazz even though he has no experience at all playing an instrument. Now I'm off to the Google so I can find somewhere to buy it!
what do you mean "getting away with it"? they were paid musicians and paid studio technicians... for them its just a boring/annoying evening... and there I was asking myself "ok, funny idea, but who would buy it?"
Stephen, your trumpet playing was superb! It reminded me of times long ago, which I spent at a lakeside cabin in Maine, listening to geese fart during dawn. 😂
I like how Stephen gives him shit for his Archer and Bob's Burgers voices being exactly the same, but Phil Ken Sebben and Mr Witherspoon from BoJack sound exactly the frigging same.
H. Jon Benjamin is freakin' awesome and hillarious :-) Just heard the album and it's brilliantly funny especially if you listen to his piano playing :-D
First heard his voice as Ben, on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, as Dr. Katz’ Son. Animated in “Squigglevision”. Love all the voice work he does! Congrats on all your success H. Jon!
@@blow-by-blow-trumpet I mean it's a pretty well known fact that the hardest part of playing a trumpet is learning how to blow through the reed so you actually make noise. Really, he's a lot of the way there.
@@basicallyimblind6721 Having tried to blow a trumpet once and produced no notes, I can confirm-- reed or no-- he must have had some preparation/background in getting it to sound off for his "first" time (*not an actual quote)
I laughed so hard at the end because I'm a musician, and I'm in an improvisational group. We often play instruments we don't know how to play and do stuff like this.
Terrible clip. Next time pick one that shows "Archer" in all its wondrous glory, you dweebs! That being said.... - I love you Stephen. Keep up the good work.
I can't believe Colbert didn't know him before this interview! He's all over the comedy world that's so strange to me that they wouldn't have crossed paths.
I mean, he might be a little sarcastic while explaining the difference between Bob and Archer, but at 3:49 I can definitely hear the distinction he's talking about haha
to be fair its probably a clip from the first 5 minutes of the first show, they probably didn't think it mattered. but somebody in the comments said the actor died so, that also kind of means it's not really a spoiler lol
To people complaining about spoilers: shut the fuck up they showed woodhouse's body in literally the first trailer for the new season PLUS the writers and Adam Reed have said multiple times they were writing the new season to phase out Woodhouse's character since the voice actor passed away
His regular speaking voice sounds more like Bob but when he gets excited he sounds like Archer
You’ve clearly never watched Archer before...
@@thegladezSubchiller she kinda has a point. If I close my eyes, more often than not I'm picturing Bob not Archer
wow spot on
And this is why the comments section exists

How many time in his life does a voice actor sit on a show like the Late Show and hear applause for every piece of work he did?
When he does a voice for a well known show mostly made for adults ?
He was in Aziz's tv show, that was really good actually :D master of none? something like that.
ugh seth mcfarlane, nancy cartwright, phil lamarr, billy west
They didn't mention Home Movies.
@@heyyyyyynow coach mcguirk
Man I love his voice so much, could literally just listen to that voice all day long. His distinctiveness between Archer and Bob is so subtle but so effective
That jazz. Sploosh.
JAZZ HANDS
Yeah, gotta give it the sploosh.
yeah, and whatever my version of sploosh is, which i guess is still just sploosh, but with semen
MintV2 🤣🤣
H Jon Benjamin is on Colbert, holy shit just like the old gypsy woman said!
We need to stop going to her.
do you mean holy shit-snacks?
6:09 "that's actually bad. his playing is actually killing" - Jon Batiste
Jon will always be Coach McGuirk (Home Movies) first and foremost with me. He has a very recognizable voice.
I agree 100% I was looking for this comment! love that show
I was just about to say that.
Also Jason.
I wish I had taken the 1.5 seconds to scroll down and read this post before I didn't "just about" but did say that
And of course, Ben from Dr. Katz.
If you don't watch the video, it's almost like Stephen is actually interviewing Archer
Or Bob.
I know right?
Or that convenience store clerk from Family Guy-
or coach McGurk from Home Videos
S4RGE007 Home Movies*

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I played the trumpet for three years in high school and one year in jazz band and he's not far off
well it's not the first time he's picked up a trumpet lol. I've seen him with one before. I have spent about an hour with a trumpet before in my life time and I could probably do what he did. If you're already a singer, and know somebody well who can play it does help a lot.

God I love his voice
Its weirdly hot!
Leah McColm so true, I mean i really like Archer but not Bob, it's weird?
I'm a huge fan of Archer, but my god that jazz improv at the end actually killed me. I'm downloading that shit right now.
Not the best clip of Archer to showcase.
Alicia Westfall for real wtf
a bit of a spoiler warning would of been, nice at least
Alicia Westfall it gives a false impression of the show imo. and what's up with the censorship.
faensostress it's just a clip, what makes it a spoiler ? the 1940s detective theme ?
Allan Felix ohhh lol, I didn't think that the show would really kill him off, but I guess we'll have to see how it actually pans out. these things can be misleading on purpose at times.
No one ever mentions that Stephen is a fucking great voice actor. This is driving me crazy. I feel like the only Harvey Birdman fan.
"Ha-HAAA!"
Nephi895 Harvey Birdman!
I think about this all the time. I want him to break into Reducto so bad haha.
Phil Ken Sebben for the win!
Ha ha! Dangling parts.
He's in so many things like the president in Monsters Vs Aliens. He's such a great voice. He was homers life coach in the simpsons. lol, I love when colbert's voice is in stuff.
AND THIS IS HOW THEY TELL ME WOODHOUSE DIED?
Brian yeah Malory killed Woodhouse, sorry, i got spoilered myself, gotta spread the hate
The actor is dead, they had to kill him off.
If this is true I demand that Sterling kill his mother. Slowly.
It’s a dream, actually.
He's Bob in front of the camera, but he's Archer behind.
are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?
Bob is like this and Archer’s liKE THIS
Archer shouting lana! is my favorite sound ever
The album version of that track is way better because it actually sounds like he was trying to play as opposed to this where he's just mashing the keys.
He's so much more Bob than Archer.
Aren't we all?
ehh.... more McGuirk
Remember Dr Katz? I read he played his son.
More squigglevision!
Man that show had so many great cameos.
dav ep I still watch Dr Katz some of the comedians jokes aren't as good but the parts between the Dr and Ben still get me
Holy shit I'm buying this record! As a guy who groomed himself to be a session drummer, this whole idea is brilliant. Just the unmitigated audacity of getting away with it, and cutting a record?! Never saw this cartoon before either. Looks like it could become the next Simpsons!
Bob's Burgers, that is. (Been on the road, no TV).
It's in its (I think) sixth season. Really great show

It's actually quite amazing how something great can come out of chaos but they pulled it off. Check out their song called "Firecracker, Firecracker" to get an idea of what it sounds like.

I love the idea of playing it with friends and seeing their reaction.
what do you mean "getting away with it"? they were paid musicians and paid studio technicians... for them its just a boring/annoying evening...
and there I was asking myself "ok, funny idea, but who would buy it?"
I'm questioning my love of jazz because I've listened to loads but this sounded alright.
The dude made an album that is actually good without knowing how to play the instrument...what an inspiration! This gives me hope!
Why didn't they show the crossover between Archer and Bob's Burgers at the end? :/
That last note Stephen plays on the trumpet made me laugh SO hard.
I absolutely love his voice
I have such a crush on H. Jon Benjamin! He has a brilliant mind.
Me too
i have loved his voice acting since he was ben in dr katz ♡
Laaaaaannnna
*Arms/manhands crossed, unimpressed*
Beat me to it!
+alaksandra1979 DANGERZONE!
He remembers me!
Out of all 8 seasons of Archer that remains one of their best running gags they haven't done it in a long time though last time was in season 3
He actually sounds like that. It's crazy. Mind blown

+6:15 this note still gets me sometimes… i always have to come back and hear it again. Such a talent. 😂
This is why I love Stephen, this is one of the best interviews as well.
H. Jon Benjamin is freakin' awesome and hillarious :-) Just heard the album and it's brilliantly funny especially if you listen to his piano playing :-D
H. Jon: idk how to play piano, but...
Colbert: idk how to play trumpet, but...
Trump: hold my beer, watch this boys...
That voice man... Iconic
The band must've just loved this guy.
First heard his voice as Ben, on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, as Dr. Katz’ Son. Animated in “Squigglevision”. Love all the voice work he does! Congrats on all your success H. Jon!
He is also the hilarious Coach John McGuirk from Home Movies and Ben from Dr. Katz.
He just has the best voice!
Can we talk about the fact that Colbert can absolutely play the trumpet?
You are easily pleased.

"It's a fine line cuz, uh, you know, I appreciate the support" XD hahaha
Love him, his voice is so funny even when he is not trying to be funny
I'm glad the band could play along with *that* for fun. What pros
Love this guy's voice.
*get Linda Belcher in your head*
Bobby...you're making album without me?!
*now, Gene*
Jazz?! stick to a rhythm, people!
John Batiste held Stephen’s trumpet part in key with the original chords #genius
The trumpet sounded pretty good foreeal
He will always be my Coach McGuirk first. True love and samurai swords.
"I would buy a CD of that sound"
"LADY, SWORDS AREN'T CUTLERY!"
Ox Bellows... Spaghetti Time.
"This sausage could join the army... and die for its country"
I used to sit there blazed af questioning wtf I was watching
fell in love with his voice when i first watched O'grady =)
A fucking legend! Voices some of the greatest animated characters ever!!
I laughed so hard at the end because I'm a musician, and I'm in an improvisational group. We often play instruments we don't know how to play and do stuff like this.
Well ... that was awful. Like when ... umm ... DAMMIT! I swear I had something for this.
Thanks to this I will start watching archer from 1st season!.. (I have re-watched it at least 5 times..)
Plus now I have to have that LP..
Sounds like something that Archer would do. He could totally use this for the show as a storyline and people would buy the shit out of it
Terrible clip. Next time pick one that shows "Archer" in all its wondrous glory, you dweebs! That being said.... - I love you Stephen. Keep up the good work.
Jon Benjamin has a van
Wish they'd bring it back
Underrated show
I firmly believe that the grammys should have an avante garde category, and projects like this should get a nomination solely for its balls
I love the clip they used for Bob's Burger's, John Oliver's character in that episode was hilarious.
That was jazzy!!
I can't believe Colbert didn't know him before this interview! He's all over the comedy world that's so strange to me that they wouldn't have crossed paths.
He is also the voice on the intro for the fabulous Majority Report podcast with his lifelong friend and Bob's Burgers buddy Sam Seder.
people complaining about "spoilers" don't seem to know George Coe died 2015
i did its still spoilers
Archibald Dalliard
I did not. womp
Still spoiler since Woodhouse was just missing.
I love H Jon 😍♡
The jazzy improv at 05:35 seems like a totally passable of the poets 'Vogonity'.
I mean, he might be a little sarcastic while explaining the difference between Bob and Archer, but at 3:49 I can definitely hear the distinction he's talking about haha
Man alive do I miss Home Movies.
H. Jon is the man.
He also does the voices of Jimmy Jr. and Ms. LaBonz.
Really damn didn't know that.
Also one of the hookers
Nice embrace of the free jazz aesthetic.
I need this jazz album in my life.
Last time I was early, phrasing was a thing
are we still doing jazz phrasing?
'thwish underrated comment
This is SO GOOD !!!
Are we not doing "Spoiler Alert" anymore?
to be fair its probably a clip from the first 5 minutes of the first show, they probably didn't think it mattered. but somebody in the comments said the actor died so, that also kind of means it's not really a spoiler lol
It's also a dream
Nick Scott We're not even even doing phrasing!
Sweet Jesus, I need that album!!!
I love all of the censoring they had to do for the archer clip
looks like he enterd a zone of danger...
I'm buying the jazz album...everyone should get a copy.
that musical performance was in the danger zone
Is it just me or did they actually nail the whole jazz improv without knowing a damn thing about the instruments
I missed H Jon as the voice of Orpheus' Master in the last season of the Venture Bros (because it was focused on the action in New York).
Brilliant!!!
The guy in the audience who yelled "ISIS" after Stephen said the acronym, like he was so proud to get it so quickly
My favorite of HJB's works is "H. Jon Benjamin Has A Van" --- pure comedy genius
To people complaining about spoilers: shut the fuck up they showed woodhouse's body in literally the first trailer for the new season PLUS the writers and Adam Reed have said multiple times they were writing the new season to phase out Woodhouse's character since the voice actor passed away
Thank You For This :D
i have the whole home movies series at home. the coach babyyyy
Playing the piano dressed like Super Dave (the album cover), didn't see that coming!
Well I should have... been in danger zone!
That album sounds Legendary
You forgot to mention that he also voiced Yoda
Everyone forgets before being Archer and Bob, he was Ben Katz.
all i hear is bob belcher being interviewed
this was great jazz
Jon channelling Keith Tippett on the ivories.
Hahaha - the jazz was awesome fun
I love the fact that his real voice is straight up Archer rather than putting an act on
For someone who can’t play trumpet, Stephen does pretty well here.
whats crazy is that it sounded good?!
