I can say this, having been a 13 year ARTCM Royal Conservatory piano player and ex-band member.... Jon is beyond. As a piano player alone he is our Mozart. What I see him do is unbelievable. He never looks at music or the keys. His hands are literally independent beings with a brain in between. Talk about a savant. I was taught to memorize Chopin & Rachmaninoff. He just seems to know it. Jeepers Jon. I have no words. Thank you for showing the way and being humble.
I sometimes feel that there is too much, what should I call it, fanboyizm? these days. Sure, the dude is great, fantastic even. But every time we delve into comparisons the waters get muddy. He is a fantastic piano player but there are lots of greats out there, potentially better than him, at least at this point (he seems to have a whole lotta years to get even better in front of him). Calling him "our Mozart" is kinda silly, especially since I don't think anyone of us ever heard Moz play live. Apples and oranges. There are numerous musicians I absolutely adore, Kent Sangster is one of my all-time favourite sax players because of the memories I made listening him play live. Is he "our Coltrane"? Nah. Don't compare, just praise the man for what he is.
I've also never really seen Jarrett "look at keys", come on, that's no criteria of greatness. Besides, would someone looking at keys make them less great in comparison to someone who does it? Just silly, at least in my opinion.
'Mr. Sir Jon" Batiste, you put your Soul in the world and makes me feel happier with my own Soul. I almost 78 yrs old; when I hear your genius God given talent, my body feels no age. As a little skinny girl, I spent a lot of time with my Grandmother who lived in Possum Kingdom. Yeah, we would put her record player that only played vinyl records. She played from Hank Williams to Rachmaninoff. Your music gives my Soul that same Happy Soul feeling those vinyl records that Grandmother gave me. I always ask her to play Mr. Louis Armstrong first and last. You awaken that little girl with visions in me like nobody else has ever done. "Thank you" is too little words that cannot express how I feel. God bless and stay safe. By the way, got a piano at age 12 First recital played "Rachmaninoff's in C sharp minor". Love you! ❤️
Ms. Sally, My hat is off to you. My musical taste is as eclectic as yours, I think; What a talent he is, indeed. I hope this message finds you well, From one 'Roch' head to another. XO
It is a shame you don't give Jon the credit he deserves but you give it to some mythological being. Apparently you don't realize the work Jon and the other musicians put in to be as good as they are...
lol. so apt. it sounds like 'i'm going to sing delightfully at you, and you better be happy...'. reminds me of Delirium of the Sandman. she can come across as aggressively delirious.
The best part is watching how closely Jon observes the other musicians and really play off of what they put out. You can really see just the sheer happiness in all their faces.
To the person who came here after a rough day full of challenges: good job, you did great today and tomorrow will be better. Just relax, cut all the distracting noises and enjoy this relaxing sound of nature. Wish you all he best!
I will be 80 years old in November and Jon Batiste is like a breath of fresh air! I have worked for the past 7 years and retired for the 3rd time in March, 2022. I kinda got left behind due to lack of time, but, I remember seeing Jon directing the band on Colbert's show and he was energetic and woke me up! But last year I fell in love with his music on You Tube trying to play "catch up"! Now I am fully aware of his "repertoire" and I am aware of just how talented and skilled he is. Black music history enlarged once again! I have tried to look and listen to his music and jazz is my fave, but he excels in all his genre's! Proud of his awards this year and stretching out to symphony this year! Do it to it Jon!
how the heck does this guy bring Jazz back to us young people like this. It's like "I get it" now, after i feel like probably decades Jazz been left in my grandpa's basement
Bro, Jon Batiste just opened a portal to another universe with this one. I’m here vibing in my living room, but somehow I feel like I’m in some underground jazz club in the 60s, sipping whiskey, snapping my fingers, and drowning in pure euphoria. This isn’t music anymore-it’s a full-body experience. Every note is like a heartbeat, and I swear I’m not even the same person after watching this. This is what life sounds like when you let go of everything and just feel it
I'd have paid for this. Sitting in my home and comfortable, enjoying a refreshment and watching this like I have front row seats. Doesn't get much better than this. What a treat Jon Batiste is and all he inspires.
It's now 1:54am in Saigon and the city is sleeping. I'm now officially the only person in Vietnam who's feet are swinging around with a constant smile. Thanks Jon.
We just watched the most anticipated movie, "American Symphony." I want to SHOUT it out to the WORLD! Jon Batist, IS THE MOST TALENTED ARTIST IN THE WORLD! He's someone that restores hope in humanity. I just want to be his friend cuz I really FEEL his Love for life!❤
This is where I discovered the late Roy Hargrove from one of his amazing songs called Soulful on the 14th of October 2020 40:58. Three days before his birthday 51st birthday (16th of October). Thank you Jon Batiste for paying such an honourable tribute. Rest in peace Roy Hargrove. (South Africa - Gauteng - Rynfield). ❤️
Joh Batiste; I stay up late to watch Stephen Colbert JUST TO HEAR YOU PLAY... sometimes its a few measures.. sometimes a few notes. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I love your style. I love your SOUL! Your music always brings me JOY!
Just discovered this guy over on a Tiny Desk Concert and I have a complaint : how is anyone supposed to get the dinner cooked and dance around the kitchen at the same time? I mean, give a girl a break 🤗 Fantastic, just fantastic. Thank you xx
That is right, John Baptist is so enthusiastic, soft, positive and gifted! 👏 I like him. And girls as men need time to think and dare to build their life as they dream it and really want it to be. We can do it! Good continuation to everybody.🌞
I stumbled upon this video two days ago. I’ve listen to this performance five times already. This music is so beautifully written and amazingly done. The skillfulness of the artist is incredible. My GOD this man is so talented.
It feels like a walk in the cool rain after a week or two of oppressive summer heat. I just feel more wonderful listening to this ... almost like a palate cleanse for the soul.
What I wouldn't pay to be present at that concert breathing in and basking in all the amazing vibes and grooves they so effortlessly lay down. Jon is a true musical genious and the band is as good as it gets.
And don’t forget all the vegetables on the smorgasbord! “ Dey just from dirt, ya know? Just outta da dirt.” For anyone who hasn’t watched “Tin Men”, just download it. You can “prove “ whatever you believe any way you like. But it doesn’t make it so.
Listening to jazz has been one of the most important parts of my life since I discovered it more than 65 years ago. I grew up listening to musicians like Prez, Billie, Carmen, Sarah, Basie, Duke, Kenton, Chet, Desmond, Tatum, Bill Evans, Miles, Rollins, Clifford, Trane, Zoot, Bird, Al Cohn, Monk, Barry Harris, Thad, and Mulligan. When I hear Jon quote Bird, Monk, Duke, and other jazz greats on the Colbert show, it reassures me that musicians like he, Regina Carter, and Anat Cohen will continue to cause this Great American Music to long endure and grow. Jon is also a guy who "gives back" -- there's a video online of him working in a very supportive way with one of today's younger singers; the recording makes both of them look and sound great! Jon is, in every way, "carrying on the tradition!"
And so was Otis Williams, whose mother, Sophie, had a charge account with us. So did Eddie Kendrick. Meeting those people and serving them was the greatest joy of my life. I hope you get to see this post, I would love to hear from you. I got married and moved to Texas and I’ve been stuck here for 30 years but there’s nothing like home.. I miss it every day. Roll Tide!
Jon Batiste is a blessing to the world of music and all who live on the plant. He expresses love and happiness with his own brand of music and a smile that will never go out of style.
This man is the most talented musician i have heard and seen in a long time. Hes fantastic!! His music feeds my soul and body. He amazing. He gets me out of my chair. Illness and all, hes my medicine ❣️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Love you, jon baptiste! ❤️ 🎉🎉😂🎉😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
I think Jon Baptiste should be given Sainthood, because he shares his entire Soul of Love through his music and joy. Listening to his infectious beautiful music has uplifted my dark days.
so great is this music and so fresh and new- a gift to mankind: it gets the muscels working and the brain as well, makes you younger and fit for more. pleaaseaeseaese keep going forward to more az you live. Xoph
You and your friends make a disenchanted old depressive smile and giggle. You open possibility. You exude love and your music speaks of a glowing future. At this point in time, you are SO welcome, SO needed, and I am SO thankful to have made your musical acquaintance. Blessings, as you have blessed us.
The genius of Jon Baptist’s music is beyond words. This particular piece of music was mellow, sensual, and sexy. What fantastic rendition of a childrens song. Absolutely stunning, and beautifully done. God bless you.
I sat down for breakfast with this on, intending to just watch a song or two, but couldn’t bear to leave until it was entirely over! Best concert I’ve ever watched!
Hi John I'm 71 years old and I am your number one fan I Watch Stephen Colbert just so I can hear you Play I hope that I will be able to see you live 1 day
Jon Batiste, I am happy. You feed my Soul with ya muuussiicc! Lawd, I am a 78 yr old woman and you rekindle that little girl in n me, the teenager in me, you are a totally inspirational man. Plz tell Stephen I'm from SC. Let him know I love him. Together y'all are helping us all to love, laugh, and learn. Can't leave out the Stay Human band! Love every member. They got playin' together RIGHT! JON if the book I'm writin' ever goes to the big screen ONLY YOU JON BATISTE HAVE THE 🎵🎶 SCORE.
This sound! This love! This JOY! This version of "If You're Happy and You Know It" is the medicine and energy the world needs now! Jon Batiste and Stay Human, you are a GIFT! Much love and thanks!!!
I am so happy that Jon Batiste gets the recognition he deserves, years ago I watched all the old videos where he was playing with Roy Hargrove and Cassandra Wilson, he was amazing from the get go
Music from and for heart & soul. Thanks Jon and his band for warming up the icy cold world we are living in in the USA 2020 with these beautiful sounds. Just what the doctor ordered!
16:44-16:50 guys, check this out, those guys have just broke tempo, in the middle of trumpet solo, and came back as nothing happened. OMG, this is advanced AF. Kudos to this wonderful band.
@@stretch54 but i do kinda agree that part just seems too chaotic for me...but maybe that's jazz, different levels of chaos and different people enjoy it at different levels
I love seeing the reactions of the audience. The language of music makes more sense than any tongue, learning it is totally worth while, letting it affect you is unavoidable
All through Quarantine, I cared for a 2 year old, while her single Mama worked on zoom meetings... After lunch, to wind down for her nap, I always put this on... She & her Mama LOVE Jon's music... What a thrill to watch his success for SOUL, as well... Thank You, npr and Jon! Hooray for amazing music for this Nanny and the Families for whom I care! Peace & Love.
without being superficial, he's got such charm and beauty, but what's striking is his musical gift, his sensible presence, it doesn't let you forget that that is what matters.

I can say this, having been a 13 year ARTCM Royal Conservatory piano player and ex-band member.... Jon is beyond. As a piano player alone he is our Mozart. What I see him do is unbelievable. He never looks at music or the keys. His hands are literally independent beings with a brain in between. Talk about a savant. I was taught to memorize Chopin & Rachmaninoff. He just seems to know it. Jeepers Jon. I have no words. Thank you for showing the way and being humble.
A sparkling Accolade!
He is indeed a phenomenon. 😃👏🏻🎇
.....and his moves--and all the joy--in the Freedom video!!!!!!
What a nonsense...
I sometimes feel that there is too much, what should I call it, fanboyizm? these days. Sure, the dude is great, fantastic even. But every time we delve into comparisons the waters get muddy. He is a fantastic piano player but there are lots of greats out there, potentially better than him, at least at this point (he seems to have a whole lotta years to get even better in front of him). Calling him "our Mozart" is kinda silly, especially since I don't think anyone of us ever heard Moz play live. Apples and oranges. There are numerous musicians I absolutely adore, Kent Sangster is one of my all-time favourite sax players because of the memories I made listening him play live. Is he "our Coltrane"? Nah. Don't compare, just praise the man for what he is.

By the way, got a piano at age 12
First recital played "Rachmaninoff's in C sharp minor". Love you! ❤️
what a beautiful comment

My hat is off to you.
My musical taste is as eclectic as yours, I think;
What a talent he is, indeed.
I hope this message finds you well,
From one 'Roch' head to another.

im literally IN tears rn
It is a shame you don't give Jon the credit he deserves but you give it to some mythological being. Apparently you don't realize the work Jon and the other musicians put in to be as good as they are...
@@Thorum13 come on man. everybody knows you play like him without a life time of training. just let the lady give her praises
That initial "If You're Happy And You Know It" is aggressively delightful.
Aggressively Delightful is probably the best adjective I’ve ever seen in a comment section.
It reminded me a movie called Rudderless.
lol. so apt. it sounds like 'i'm going to sing delightfully at you, and you better be happy...'. reminds me of Delirium of the Sandman. she can come across as aggressively delirious.
@@onizeonwukeme2200 * threatening gaze * You WILL be happy... or we will MAKE you happy.
@@jong3404 Oh my goodness yes!!!!
This is what is missing in popular music...... musicians....and music.
Jon Batiste definitively deserves all his Grammy awards
The best part is watching how closely Jon observes the other musicians and really play off of what they put out. You can really see just the sheer happiness in all their faces.
No fake laughs there:)
For real - PURE JAZZ! Makes me feel like I'm there with them.
Yes!! So refreshing, so tasteful and organic. Its just a joy to listen to and watch. Melts my heart 💜
Yes exactly he really enjoys to do so , I thought we were back in 1940ie 1950ies
Spot on observation
To the person who came here after a rough day full of challenges: good job, you did great today and tomorrow will be better. Just relax, cut all the distracting noises and enjoy this relaxing sound of nature. Wish you all he best!
Only Jon Batiste could turn a little nursery into a rockn jazz song! Such a TALENT & a much needed SPARK! U R loved ❤

Gwendolyn, I’m 78, and I could have written your reply, almost word for word! He is dazzling. Amazing! I love his story, his style, his joy. 🎉😊
🎉 His music just brings so much Joy.
Have you heard his latest, with the Mingus influence?
❤😂🎉😊
I’m lying in bed on a Sunday morning in Dublin, Ireland, listening to this! I’m in heaven!
how the heck does this guy bring Jazz back to us young people like this. It's like "I get it" now, after i feel like probably decades Jazz been left in my grandpa's basement
I feel like I should be paying for this...
My feeling exactly!!
That there are people who can make those sounds gives me hope for humanity.

I'd like to "breathe" HIS fresh air. If you know what I mean ;)
More like a full respiratory cycle 😂😂
A great pianist ,congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽what the name of the percusionist ?

Bass girl holds everything together. And with that wholesome smile of hers
i got a crush on her too
Please, I have been trying to find her name. HELP.
The tuba is killing on bass too!
@@rroolliinnss It's Endea Owens! She's amazing
Endea Owens. Baaad bass player!
Jon Batiste should have an honorary Ph.D conferred on him. He is above Mastery at this point.
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Dancing to "Prince" while cooking has made me happier than I've been in months💜thank you Jon💜
Check out "I'm From Kenner", another great tune from Jon.
8:04 His face says it all! We need more pure joy for 2021. Enjoy your day you who reads this comment 💛
No one has made me feel so joyous. Thank you my #1 singer. Omg. Just in love with his music 🎉🎉❤❤

This is beyond marvelous. When I hear Jon Batiste and his band, life is soulful again.
So missing LIVE MUSIC right now. Thank You Jon and Band for the VIBE. We all really need it right now.
Loved seeing the talented ladies from his Tiny Desk here
Sarah and Celeste missing, but also appreciate that he is bringing up/grooming new talent.
@@xolisamlali50 and woman musicians too. I noticed the all-woman band on Tiny desk.

Joh Batiste; I stay up late to watch Stephen Colbert JUST TO HEAR YOU PLAY... sometimes its a few measures.. sometimes a few notes. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I love your style. I love your SOUL! Your music always brings me JOY!
i do too, i like the show but love! Jon Batiste, even a minute of his music!!
Just discovered this guy over on a Tiny Desk Concert and I have a complaint : how is anyone supposed to get the dinner cooked and dance around the kitchen at the same time? I mean, give a girl a break 🤗 Fantastic, just fantastic. Thank you xx
Dinner, etc is a little delayed at my house, gotta dance to it!
so very musique ❤️‼️✨❤️‼️✨
That is right, John Baptist is so enthusiastic, soft, positive and gifted! 👏
I like him.
And girls as men need time to think and dare to build their life as they dream it and really want it to be. We can do it! Good continuation to everybody.🌞
This is how music is meant to be played and enjoyed. Thank you, Mr. Batiste & Friends!
My baby girl and I are up movin' our bodies to "If You're Happy And You Know It" it brings joy into our lives. Thank you
OMG, genius! My son sat behind him at St Augustine High School in New Orleans.
The best way to get ready this morning - dancing to this!
Jon Batiste's best ensembles yet. This is where he's best, grooving to the Jazz.
I stumbled upon this video two days ago. I’ve listen to this performance five times already. This music is so beautifully written and amazingly done. The skillfulness of the artist is incredible. My GOD this man is so talented.
What a tribute to the great Roy Hargrove, just couldn’t stop the tears
It feels like a walk in the cool rain after a week or two of oppressive summer heat. I just feel more wonderful listening to this ... almost like a palate cleanse for the soul.
What I wouldn't pay to be present at that concert breathing in and basking in all the amazing vibes and grooves they so effortlessly lay down. Jon is a true musical genious and the band is as good as it gets.
Now that's what we call swing, a conscious stream of improvisation. The future of avant garde jazz.
People like Jon Batiste and the music he plays provide me with proof that God exists
Will, i love that you have a belief in God. Many thanks to you my friend...♫™
Oh yes he does exist in every darkest corners of our hearts
All I need to say is Amennn!!✌❤🌞🌊
Unfortunately most artist and entertainers come from the same blood line and have to make a deal with "the Chief" to make it.
And don’t forget all the vegetables on the smorgasbord! “ Dey just from dirt, ya know? Just outta da dirt.” For anyone who hasn’t watched “Tin Men”, just download it. You can “prove “ whatever you believe any way you like. But it doesn’t make it so.
I soooo love that young man - Jon Batiste! He is so incredibly talented.
Listening to jazz has been one of the most important parts of my life since I discovered it more than 65 years ago.

Yes sir, Mr. Brown! My family had a drugstore, Ensley Apothecary, in Birmingham, Alabama from 1952 until 1998. Eddie Kendrick was a customer of ours
And so was Otis Williams, whose mother, Sophie, had a charge account with us. So did Eddie Kendrick. Meeting those people and serving them was the greatest joy of my life. I hope you get to see this post, I would love to hear from you. I got married and moved to Texas and I’ve been stuck here for 30 years but there’s nothing like home.. I miss it every day. Roll Tide!

Medicine to my soul. Been feeling so low lately and this really helps my spirit.
One of the best concerts I've heard in all my life...YES!!

WOW I miss listening to my father and his friends playing. This guy is amazing. I cannot believe I have not heard him till now.
enjoyable time ... Jon Batiste is such a true talent ... still strong in 2022
Been listening to this for a month straight
16:44-16:50 guys, check this out, those guys have just broke tempo, in the middle of trumpet solo, and came back as nothing happened. OMG, this is advanced AF. Kudos to this wonderful band.
They never broke tempo. It was the same throughout. They changed the phrasing though.
@@stretch54 but i do kinda agree that part just seems too chaotic for me...but maybe that's jazz, different levels of chaos and different people enjoy it at different levels
I can barely contain my emotions when I hear JB. What a mensch!!!
I love seeing the reactions of the audience. The language of music makes more sense than any tongue, learning it is totally worth while, letting it affect you is unavoidable
Ambrosia! Beautifully balanced. Heaven to my ears. Love the inclusion of the gorgeous talented ladies.
All through Quarantine, I cared for a 2 year old, while her single Mama worked on zoom meetings... After lunch, to wind down for her nap, I always put this on... She & her Mama LOVE Jon's music... What a thrill to watch his success for SOUL, as well... Thank You, npr and Jon! Hooray for amazing music for this Nanny and the Families for whom I care! Peace & Love.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face.
I miss going to plays and concerts soooo much! I hope I get an opportunity to see this band perform. Jon Batiste is just a joy to watch.
without being superficial, he's got such charm and beauty, but what's striking is his musical gift, his sensible presence, it doesn't let you forget that that is what matters.
And thanks to npr for presenting quality programs and productions like this!
Each time I see this young man one word comes to mind. JOYOUS!! Jon is a walking talking instrument of JOY. I look upon him and it is GOOD. Thank you.
So UPLIFTING... save me, I'm gonna hit the ceiling of the earth's atmosphere...
Jon, you're an endless well of musical talent and knowledge, and a beacon of positivity. Don't ever change.
This guy and his band is a gift to us all....listening to Jon Batiste and his music brings hope and lightness....!!!
I have to agree with Sally. I’m 65 and don’t stay up late...so I’ve missed being introduced to your music! Now I know! Ty!
I M 73 and grew up listening to to Jimmy Smith, Diana Washington, Jazz has always been unlifting to the spirit We love you young man,
