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
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
Jon Batiste definitively deserves all his Grammy awards
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
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.
Such a spiritual person, love listening & watching him dance. A real breath of fresh air in these dark times. God bless Jon.
@🤟🏼🤟🏼🎤🎤💖
8:04 His face says it all! We need more pure joy for 2021. Enjoy your day you who reads this comment 💛
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!
So missing LIVE MUSIC right now. Thank You Jon and Band for the VIBE. We all really need it right now.
This is beyond marvelous. When I hear Jon Batiste and his band, life is soulful again.
Now that's what we call swing, a conscious stream of improvisation. The future of avant garde jazz.
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.🌞
No one has made me feel so joyous. Thank you my #1 singer. Omg. Just in love with his music 🎉🎉❤❤
Jon is a national treasure.
New Orleans' gift to the world!
when something is done with honesty, it flows into everybody's heart. Thank you for keeping the beautiful spirit of music alive Mr. Batiste.
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
That there are people who can make those sounds gives me hope for humanity.
❤🎉❤
Jon is anointed. This is so healing. Thank you all for this moving arrangement. 💚
Did you learn a new word??
Amen!
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.
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.
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. 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑
One of the best concerts I've heard in all my life...YES!!
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
I hope you see that Jon is touring now! I hope he comes to your town!
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
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!
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!
Trying to hold back tears, watching this. Beautiful!!! I just wish I could've been there.
Jon, you're an endless well of musical talent and knowledge, and a beacon of positivity. Don't ever change.
I soooo love that young man - Jon Batiste! He is so incredibly talented.
I listen to you nightly, Jon. Your brilliance lights up our lives! Thank you
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
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! ❤️ 🎉🎉😂🎉😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
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.
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! 😊🎶🔥
I have been listening to this for the last couple of weeks. Every time I do, it just lifts my heart. What a beautiful thing music is, what an amazing message is shared by this ensemble.
Jon, the way you play with your band is a combination of super talent and happiness; thanks!
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 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.
Oh my goodness, the joy and the bliss shown throughout this performance is magnificent! Much Love to Jon Baptiste and that awesome band!
This is the coolest music I´ve heard lately. Beautiful, soothing. I can´t help listening to it again and again.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🎤🎤💖
I love the joy that comes out in his playing. It's a needed balm for the soul in these trying times.
If you're happy and you know it sounds like something Dr John would have come up with.
Love you Jon, happy b-day.
HIGHER! It's just pure gold! The band is ONE!
enjoyable time ... Jon Batiste is such a true talent ... still strong in 2022
The drummer’s face while he’s on his solo says it all. Truly 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.
I hope I never meet the people who "thumbs down" such incredible music. Jon & his band never cease to amaze!!
Don't bother you tube just made them disappear lol
Contageous joy of making music together. Great musicianship of all!
Mr. Jon Baptiste and his band are amazing musicians. In my opinion Mr. Jon Baptiste is such a sensational composer and director, vocalist etc - he helps the band to give it their very best!! I love it💕💯
@🙏🏻🙏🏻🎤🎤💖
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.
I just can't stop listening this performance over and over and over again. I have played it dozens if not hundreds of times and everytime I replay it, it amuzes me and I find something new and refreshing. Such a creative performance. Jon and the whole team is so inspiring and delightful in here.
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.
Jazz music helps to soothe my soul after a challenging day and is keeping me at peace during my night shift. I love it.
What a positive force Batiste and his band is! Thank you for being you.
Glad to have Jazz and Blues back in our lives.in America Thank you Jon B
Mr Batiste, you sir, are an extremely talented and genuinely nice person. ✌
Bless his heart! He brings joy to the masses! And he absolutely loves to do it!!
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
Brilliant. The band is really tight. The piano solo is profound.
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.
So much talent here!! Incredible music and Jon just exudes JOY in everything he does!!!!
Jazz is life-affirming and speaks to the heart. Jon's work is a gift from the universe. This is a terrific video!
Jon, you and the group are a national treasure. Happy Birthday (belated...and all the best!
His take of Round Midnight was magnificent! What a journey!
Negah Santos makes the percussion sing. So much talent in this room.
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.
Just happened upon this site tonight,:what luck! Listening to Jon Batiste and his group was pure delight/joy. So talented, JB and his group; his smile is infectious and his response to the other musicians was beautiful; and they all seemed to enjoy and appreciate each other.A lot of soul in the music and the musicians. I will be back to this site again( thanks NPR and UTube).
That's the coolest If You're Happy And You Know It rendition I've ever heard!
Batiste has such a great jazz GROOVE ~ !!!
Beautiful treatment of "Soulful". Roy Hargrove would be proud, may he rest in peace.
Oh wow, what a band !
The bass & percussion...ladies you are amazing!
Absolutely fantastic. The expression of joy, authenticity, and musical flow is truly a delight and like a new day.
Beautifully spoken. He's the kind of heartfelt expression of talent that makes you believe the world is getting better, and he's the kind of authentically good person that feels like family without knowing him.
What a tribute to the great Roy Hargrove, just couldn’t stop the tears
Best performance ive heard in a while, Dope Band
Jon, if your intention is to bring love and soulfulness to this troubled world, you and your people have succeeded a hundred times over. I love to see you all interacting with each other. Very cool. Very.
Those beautiful fingers 😍
🙏🏻🙏🏻🎤🎤💖
I can barely contain my emotions when I hear JB. What a mensch!!!
Sometimes it was like watching them all getting in the Zone like Soul. Loved it! You are all amazing musicians!
Man I need to look up and listen to every single player in here... 🔥
This is the best thing I've ever seen! And to reveal that it's his birthday at the end just somehow made it make sense a little bit more. Magic!
I Love me some Jon Batiste!
how would one sit there, see this and not feel the need to express themself in music?
beautiful!
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.
Thank you for all your talents. I am Happy and I Know it.
I love him as a pianist et composer. His artistic creation is very fresh and full of positive emotions the soul.
I also liked listerning to the trumpeter of his band.
Merci pour m'inviter à écouter ce magnific concert de Jon Batiste. J'ai aimé beaucoup.
just watched his beautiful "i need you" mv. i swear youtube's blessing me with this almost hour-long concert!

While Jon and the band are a work of art I especially love the brass section. It's so fascinating watching Jon's touch on the piano keyboard. Talk about feeling the music!🎺🎶
Congrats Jon Batiste, awesome job n thanks NPR. LG from Maputo Mozambique
I just LOVE the musical genius in Jon Baptiste. I pray that he lives a long time keeping music alive!
LOVE LOVE this Talented Young Man.
One of the best Round Midnight I´ve heard in my life. Wonderful!!!!!
BEYOND BEAUTIFUL !!!!
MR JON a masterful composer for soothing consistent classic jazz.
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 :)
