Jon Batiste & Friends (Live) | JAZZ NIGHT IN AMERICA

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2020
- Listen to the radio show: www.npr.org/2020/05/27/863412...
Jon Batiste spent his 33rd birthday playing an intimate, private concert with his band in the round while Jazz Night in America captured the show. He kept it classy, donning a suede jacket and playing selections from his two latest Verve releases, Chronology of A Dream and Anatomy of Angels.
You probably know Jon Batiste as bandleader and musical director on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. But his credentials are deep as the roots of the Batiste family tree. He's the co-artistic director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and has been a collaborator with everyone from pop singer Tori Kelly to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. He's graduate of both the New Orleans Center of the Creative Arts and the Juilliard School, and an alumni of both Wynton Marsalis' and Roy Hargrove's bands.
For the past decade, he's developed his version of "jazz 2.0," which includes what he calls "social music." Its lineage stems from Batiste's native New Orleans but also runs through his adopted hometown of New York City, thanks to elders like Lionel Hampton and Dr. Billy Taylor, who brought jazz from the concert halls to the streets. But Batiste is also a part of yet another lineage: jazz musicians in late-night television. On our radio show - with help from Batiste's Late Show predecessor Paul Shaffer, its current Executive Producer, Chris Licht, and NPR television critic Eric Deggans - we'll trace some of that history, learning how Jon Batiste developed his role. --ALEX ARIFF

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.
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! ❤️
what a beautiful comment
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
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!!!!
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
Jon Batiste definitively deserves all his Grammy awards
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!
🙏
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?
❤😂🎉😊
To whoever is reading this, you are loved. You are blessed. Your dreams are manifesting as we speak. Time is on your side. Everything will work out in your favor. May you find more love, peace and prosperity. Keep shining your light in this world. We need you and we love you
Needed to hear this thank you
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
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!!!!!!!
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.🌞
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.
I love Vietnam! Just visited there North & South last year and hoping to return after covid. Keep swingin with Jon!
@@carolmiller5713 You're always very welcome to come back. Can you bring Jon with you? Thanks.
@@BenNgo that would be awesome!
1:44AM in Venezuela... Same feeling right here.
2:35 in Poland :) the same...:)))
This man is a breathe of fresh air what a beautiful blessing
Yes indeed 😊 he deserves all the Grammys he got this year 2022...and an Oscar.
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 ?
Love the bass player
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!
Only Jon Batiste could turn a little nursery into a rockn jazz song! Such a TALENT & a much needed SPARK! U R loved ❤
8:04 His face says it all! We need more pure joy for 2021. Enjoy your day you who reads this comment 💛
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.
I’m lying in bed on a Sunday morning in Dublin, Ireland, listening to this! I’m in heaven!
I'm just here after watching Soul
Same here!!!! This is truly amazing!!!!!!
aren't we all? :D
He even looks like Paul from the movie
He is Brubeck re-incarnated! Such Soul!...Can’t get enough❗️
You're late :)
Jon Batiste - His music and smile bring joy.
makes me want to vomit and take a shit at the same time. you know...5150..LOL!!
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.
Now that's what we call swing, a conscious stream of improvisation. The future of avant garde jazz.
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). ❤️
Such a spiritual person, love listening & watching him dance. A real breath of fresh air in these dark times. God bless Jon.
@🤟🏼🤟🏼🎤🎤💖
That there are people who can make those sounds gives me hope for humanity.
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.
Negah Santos makes the percussion sing. So much talent in this room.
So missing LIVE MUSIC right now. Thank You Jon and Band for the VIBE. We all really need it right now.
Jon is a national treasure.
New Orleans' gift to the world!
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.
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!"
Right on❤️
Me too, Jim! Long live jazz!
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!
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!!
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.
Jon Batiste's best ensembles yet. This is where he's best, grooving to the Jazz.
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!
This is what is missing in popular music...... musicians....and music.
Wouldn’t be a jazz concert without off-beat clapping from the audience !!!
it's not a jazz concert. jon baptist could barely fucking play.
@@J3unG I don't understand your comment, he played really well here.
@@J3unG You're on something. 19:41 you're telling me you can play even 10 seconds of that? ("jon baptist could barely fucking play." Meaning someone else that can barely play should able to do the same) I'll be waiting for your upload.
@@J3unG good one
@@J3unG Dude, your jealousy is splattered all over the place.
Incredible how lately Jon's music always makes me hurt less; and that's saying something in this day and age--plus I'm recovering from surgery!
I would trade anything to see this live!
The more I learn about him the more I love him he's a good soul ❤️
🙏🏻🙏🏻🎤🎤💖
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.
when something is done with honesty, it flows into everybody's heart. Thank you for keeping the beautiful spirit of music alive Mr. Batiste.
Jon is anointed. This is so healing. Thank you all for this moving arrangement. 💚
Did you learn a new word??
Amen!
Endea’s solo in Higher was something else! Really brought up the momentum and set the stage nicely for the following solos. She was killin!
Man, I love this dude! Mr. Batiste thank you sir, you are a gift to jazz!
34:24 - "BLACCK" that's a HOT TUNE!
I second that !!! My fav. song as well !!!
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
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 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
Man I need to look up and listen to every single player in here... 🔥
If you're happy and you know it sounds like something Dr John would have come up with.
Love you Jon, happy b-day.
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.
So UPLIFTING... save me, I'm gonna hit the ceiling of the earth's atmosphere...
Been listening to this for a month straight
Batiste has such a great jazz GROOVE ~ !!!
One of the best concerts I've heard in all my life...YES!!
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,
I soooo love that young man - Jon Batiste! He is so incredibly talented.
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.
What beautiful words, Gordon. 💞
What a great comment.
100 years later, jazz is still "good time music!"
This is how music is meant to be played and enjoyed. Thank you, Mr. Batiste & Friends!
What a tribute to the great Roy Hargrove, just couldn’t stop the tears
Ambrosia! Beautifully balanced. Heaven to my ears. Love the inclusion of the gorgeous talented ladies.
Brilliant. The band is really tight. The piano solo is profound.
I can barely contain my emotions when I hear JB. What a mensch!!!
WoW!! Feel it in every living cell in my body !! YEsssssss
Beautiful treatment of "Soulful". Roy Hargrove would be proud, may he rest in peace.
Mr Jon Batiste..you have exploded my heart! I love who you are for all of us in this world!!
🤟🏼🤟🏼🎤🎤💖
I wanna be as happy as Jon looks :)
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.
The pure joy of music Jon and the other artists are experiencing performing this set is infectious!! They can’t stop smiling and neither can I! 😊🎶🔥
Wonderful concert! Very uplifting.
For what it's worth, Jon turned 33 on November 11, 2019. That means that all present were safe from COVID-19 and explains the complete absence of masks.
It's crazy how strange it looks to us now to see people gathered together maskless! How long will it take until we figure out the new normal? Just hope we have Jon Batiste to sooth us during the process!!
@@maryroberts589 Happens to me too when I see movies and concerts from before 2020. It makes me feel uneasy. Strange how things have changed. Being in a crowded bar or with a room full of friends feels like it happened a decade ago. Somehow being lonely, at least for for me, has become somehow normal. 😑
Thanks for clarifying. They should add to description.
Bloody hard to play a trumpet wearing a mask...
@@judeirwin2222 Very true. But very easy to listen!
Medicine to my soul. Been feeling so low lately and this really helps my spirit.
I just want to thank you for your work, John, and that of your lovely family of musicians. I have received such comfort from your music in this time of heartbreak and darkness on the political and social stage. As an artist, I am deeply impacted by music. Your creations are filled with the energy of peace and compassion, comfort and encouragement and it has impacted my art and my artistic process in amazing ways. I painted to this music today and the results are bright and beautiful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I send love from my heart.
I feel like I should be paying for this...
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.
Absolutely spectacular compositions, and band as a whole. That drum set solo, was one of the most tasteful melodic solos I think I’ve ever heard. Jon is hopefully inspiring a resurgence of “real” music.
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.
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!
The smiles on everyone's faces were just too good!
Mr Batiste, you sir, are an extremely talented and genuinely nice person. ✌
This is beyond marvelous. When I hear Jon Batiste and his band, life is soulful again.
*⚡Exceptional musician and human⚡*
I play this at least once a week and enjoy it everytime. Have commented more than once, because I always have something to say about it. Giveton Gelin on the trumpet @ 07:09 - 08:14. So Angelic.
Jon Batiste can do everything on the piano.
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.
His take of Round Midnight was magnificent! What a journey!
This band has such groove, such SOUL.
He worked on arranging the music for the latest Pixar movie. It's called "Soul" ;)
@@seppuku6737 i wondered why this came on after that song. I stayed and listened and dance for the last hour
This really needs to be out there. Sometimes people don't get the full measure of the musicianship and repertoire of the "late night show" bands on television. I am so glad that Jon Batiste and company are putting that problem to rest here.
And his work in the movie "Soul" is just great! Uplifting and inspiring...all just through the sound of his hands on the keys. Amazing.
JOHN BATISTE ROCKS SO HARD
I just can't get enough of all of it!! BLACCK THOUGH!!!!!!❤❤❤ AT LAST REAL MUSIC ..Merci Monsieur Baptiste!
I listen to this jam session every morning since I discovered it, and it ALWAYS makes me smile! #happyvibes
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.
Jon, you're an endless well of musical talent and knowledge, and a beacon of positivity. Don't ever change.
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
Ive legitimately watched this about 7 times and i don't re watch videos.... ive became a huge fan and fallen in love with all his music
Oh wow, what a band !
The bass & percussion...ladies you are amazing!
I would have love to see this in person
OMG, genius! My son sat behind him at St Augustine High School in New Orleans.
Lovin' the bass player. Batiste is a great band leader too.
Jazz is life-affirming and speaks to the heart. Jon's work is a gift from the universe. This is a terrific video!
To Jon and all the beautiful musicians you play with. We need and love your sunshine here in the UK - I listen to something by you nearly everyday and am always lifted up!
Cheers from New Zealand, Jane! This man and his music is good for the soul. I think I will put this one on repeat while fixing dinner some nights and after a day at work! Restorative. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑
