- This performance was recorded on Nov. 8, 2019. We will continue releasing Tiny Desk videos of shows that had already been taped. In light of current events, NPR is postponing new live tapings of Tiny Desk Concerts. In the meantime, check out Tiny Desk (home) concerts! They’re recorded by the artists in their home. It’s the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
May 4, 2020 | Bob Boilen -- Jon Batiste came to the Tiny Desk with some surprises back in November of 2019. Midway through his set, he stopped to say, "it's the first time we're ever playing these songs, and it's the first time we're playing together." The New Orleans musician came to the Tiny Desk not with his late-night house band, but with an all-new cast. His all-female collaborators - Endea Owens on acoustic bass, Negah Santos on percussion, Sarah Thawer on drums, and Celisse Henderson on guitar and vocals - were an inspiration.
As is often the case when musicians perform in Washington (and especially blocks from the Capitol) the banter hinted at the political. Jon Batiste stopped to tell the NPR crowd, "we're playing some music, and we're coping. The times are in an interesting place, but music is always that universal language that can bring people in a room together." Little did Jon know how those words would feel six months later.
Jon Batiste took us through some of the many sides of his rich musical history, from the soulful ballad titled "Cry," to the jazz and hip-hop inspired, "Coltrane" and a rocking Motown-inspired tune, "Tell The Truth," before ending with a bit of church with, "I Need You." In just over 15 minutes, Jon Batiste bounced from playing the Wurlitzer to the electric guitar to the piano and then a melodica, all the while singing and sharing his talents and bringing us joy in interesting times.

This entire band is the coolest cat in town.
I can't think of something better than this to bring us together right now.
It's seems suspicious that this was just released three weeks ago.

No cap

Went to high school with Jon... the person you see there is the person he truly is, he was always smiling, a bright light and fun to watch! ❤️
Representing!
I love seeing him on the Colbert show. The most AMAZING piano player and such a super nice guy
@@capoeirastronaut The truly most talented and beautiful musician on late night besides Branford Marsalis.
thank you 🙏
I can imagine
The all female band is giving me SOOO MUCH LIFE!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. You don’t see that enough.
They are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who do you love?
Who you gonna love?
Who do you love when push comes to shove?
How does it feel?
How's it gonna feel?
How does it feel when it's getting too real?
Why sometimes does it seem like all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
What can you say?
What you gonna say
To make it okay?
And who's gonna pay?
Who will you fight?
How you gonna fight?
Who will you fight to make it alright?
Why sometimes does it feel like all I wanna do
All I wanna do is cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Floods keep on rising
Tears keep on falling down
Oh, why?
Cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Oh man this 74 year old body wants to shake what my mama gave me. The all girl backup fits the groove perfectly. Jon is a treasure!
Sometimes you just feel lucky living at the same time with Jon Batiste
I felt the very same way. He makes life bearable!
@@SusieParker1960 I'm so happy for you
The guitarist behind Jon has a top tier stank face. Respect
YESSS. Came here for this.
Yasssss!😂😂😂❤️
Factual af.
I believe that is Ms. Celisse Henderson. She a bad lady.. and I know her sister.. but I wish I knew her :)
Celise!!..part if the extended Phish family
Got to see her twice in Ghosts of the Forest
He looks like one of those Disney character that literally breaths music
he does look kind of magical, like he’s too good to be true
Like when Andre 3K had a cartoon?
Yes!
Roux Quier he really does 😂😂😂😂
It's "breathes" music; "breaths" are what you take when you breathe.
This guy absolutely deserves all the love he’s getting from the Grammys
This dude is the best example of walking forward with compassion, kindness and joy. Inspiring is an understatement! Thank you for your amazing music brother
Agree
So much Joy coming from Jon’s music. I’m so glad that Stephen Colbert introduced him to us.
I couldn't find if anyone else did it so here you go:
0:13 Cry
4:09 Coltrane
8:13 Tell the Truth
12:13 I Need You
Ma hero
Thanks @Mr. RASH, just to let you, NPR always puts the tracklist at the end of the description, took me a while to figure it out.. :)
God bless
love you
Jon is not one of the artists that is going out there and saying, we need to give space for women in music. He simply comes out with a full female band.
Full respect from this female. I'm over the talkers, but I have respect for the doers.
Do women not have space in music then?
@@SomeOne-iq5zy I believe they do. And I do feel they have an even bigger platform, than males. Charts are dominated by female artists nowadays. So I get surprised about reading comments about females not having space in music.
@@evoski3 i understand what you're saying about women dominating music charts but off the top of my head, i'd assume they're mainly popular in pop music and its variants. maybe some indie. (maybe rnb? i think rnb charts are balanced in gender, but then i would say indie is too, haha.) i also agree that the artists with the largest platforms are usually women, though again, mainly pop artists!
when i read these comments about women taking up space in music, it's obvious to me that they're talking about female * musicians *, like jon batiste's band here. (of course, i think about songwriters, producers, and women in other executive positions too. after all, to talk about any ~representation disparity~ in any type of media seems performative if we don't think about those who work behind the scenes as well.) and while we're on this note, i also think of seeing women take up more space, whether as vocalists or musicians, in non-pop genres as well.
and i might not actually have to say this, but of course this isn't about wanting to see more women just for the sake of gender equality or whatever. it's that with all the musical talent in the world, it makes sense for there to be just as many talented women as there are men in the same spaces :)
@@evoski3 I definitely see what you mean but you just don't see nearly as many women represented in non-pop scenes like bluegrass or jazz. It's not that they aren't there, or that they aren't successful there, but if you go into any music club with a house band or whatever, it's pretty much always big-majority if not entirely dudes =/
This is brilliant. The Grammys brought me here. Jon is an excellent musician and the band has all the feels he needs.
Me too I just watched his jazz session piece live I think it was recorded Last year. ..he's so versatile and talented...he do many genres of music 🎶🎵🎤🥰👑❤️👏 I'm such a fan.
He's the band leader on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
@@nkululekonazo5755 performs with joy and soul
@@johnjohnson1250 yes. We know. All good
This man and his music gives me so so much joy! 💜
Mr Jon Batiste is the most accomplished and versatile musician in the world ever, period. PERIOD. God, what a humble, beautiful, and soulful man. I love him! 😍🥰 Thank you NPR for Jon and this accomplished group of women. Their music moves me! 💃🏽❤
Versatile, possibly yes. Accomplished? Nope.
Love that Jon's back-up musicians are all women.
Not sure if "back up musicians" or simply "musicians".
@@cormovements im sure it's musicians
He pulled a Prince
who cares
and ruled by Jon
As a female musician, I'm usually the only girl in the group, if not the only other one. To see an all women band, what! This is amazing!
Update: I completely forgot that I commented on this a year ago and didn’t realize all the feedback it got! My prayers and best wishes of success goes out to all musicians and artists around!! ☺️
We need more female musicians!!
@@timothy2204 We need more women fighting for their spot. As if men don't have to fight to get to play with such a talent.
And if you don't know: the charts are dominated by women.
@@colaboytje very gross vibes from u
@@nicovilches8225 What? Since when is stating facts gross?
@@colaboytje yeah, I'm also puzzled by Nico's comment. @Nico Vilches, care to explain yourself?
Sarah, Negah, Endea, Celisse - hats off, you are brilliant, brilliant Artistes.
Who still watching this in 2024? 😁
Yupppppp
Here in Santa Rosa.
The way the Drummer and the Percussionist look at each other when they realize they are in the pocket @ 9:53. Their smile is so cute.
It made me so happy too
Nêgah é maravilhosa. She's wonderful
Being a drummer my self, I know that feeling when you lock in, the Ancestors join in and it's a rap!!
This is the NPR concert you wasn't looking for, but now you know you needed it.
Amen
Just happened to me! This man is truly a Gem
I looked and thought it was Leon Bridges 🤭 Surprise 🎉NOICE!!!
Yes, this one came to me on my home feed!
Architectural Digest brought me here... Didn't know who Jon Batiste was, but seeing the beautiful home he shares with his wife and learning he is a Grammy Award winning artist, made me seek out his music. Wow, in awe❤ Loving the all woman band too🌹
thats awesome same here =) nothing like home design bringing you to good music !!
Same here 😊
Their performance of "I Need You" might be the best life performance of any song I've ever heard, absolutely breathtaking
Thanks to the Pixar movie “Soul”, I found a true musical genius, Jon Batiste. Wow
I've been playing music a long time and this guy is just an absolute genius and absolutely appears to be himself all the time, it's amazing
Really? He is on tv almost every night. He has been the band director for Stephen Colbert on the late show for like 6 years.
Hi stephen, yes i’m only in my 20’s and I wasn’t really watching Stephen Colbert’s show compared to the other late night shows that I am fully aware of.
I watched Soul - I thought it was him! What role did his music play in the movie? I can’t quite place it...
@@antoniagwenyth9566 he did all the music. He was in charge of the soundtrack
Like for that lady in the guitar 🤟🏼
And another like for the lady playing it!
In?
@@MasterIvo *Lost in
Celisse Henderson. She's awesome.
That Jazzmaster is sitting in the mix so well.
INSTANTLY HAPPY!!! I'm from South Africa, I don't care what language you speak, we all understand and feel this fantastic music! Jon Baptiste is legendary! And the band...OMG!
I love the way Negah looks so happy through the whole set. She looks like she's truly enjoying herself.
It's the Brazilian soul
Jon Batiste is a graduate of Julliard and is the Artistic Director of the National Jazz Museum, as well as the Musical Director of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS.
He is badass.
Leave some for the rest of us, shesshhhh
@@KazKcatta just the facts.
Respect, his work is just amazing!
@@TheStorehouseOfMemories Got to see him and shake his hand once. I was front row, dead center at one of his shows with Stay Human.
Agreed - the man is an amazing musician.
@@michaelautry5961 Yes, he is amazing! I love Jon Batiste.
Jon studied at the prestigious Julliard School and it sure does show. Celisse Henderson also plays guitar for Lizzo. I was smiling the entire time watching this.
Oh nice! Lizzo is badass.
@@flowersafeheart > Yeah she is. The girl can sing.
Very talented; you can really sense that they are all enjoying the performance.
Julliard has brought along a lot of amazing musicians no doubt
Smiling all the way through :)
I love Celise's facial expressions as she plays. so much passion 😍
I'm too😍
So much passion. Felt every note❤
11 Grammy nominations! Richly deserved!
That bongo solo was CLEAN
It was AMAZING-- I started dancing!
Agreed! That percussion blew my mind‼️
Nêgah is a genius
Jon Batiste is a gift to humankind. Not only his music but also his spirit. He brings people together.
Electricity was a gift to humankind. This is garbage. And the only reason you know about Jon is coz of the Colbert show.
@@thathandleistakentrythisone Well well well. Don't you have a peachy disposition, Purple-mushroomhead-pool. A dog spattering feces in your face would be another gift to humankind.
Agreed!!!
wade wilson if this is garbage is there a reason you took time to click on it...scroll and respond to comments of those who do enjoy??
@@thathandleistakentrythisone deadpool? This you?? 😂😂
You can hear his beautiful soul dancing and singing in his music.
John Batiste puts love, acceptance, and light across genders, races, and the universe through his musical genius!
If I owned a cafe, THIS is the kinda classy music I'd play every night till close 🎶☕
good luck getting us customers to leave!
not every night, gotta make room for nujabes
i would attend...especially if you got it to sound just as good as this TD
I wanna go to your Cafe man , where is it ?
The food would be too expensive, worth every dime.
This guy is one of the most spiritually connected musicians you'll ever get to see or hear. Brilliant.
spiritually connected to what
Yeah what does that even mean
Listen to some Alan Watts and you'll understand. Try 'Out of Your Mind: The Nature of Consciousness'.
@@johnmarston6643 & Calin Guga I bet you know exactly what is meant, although it might be hard to put into mere words. I will try, for you. How about: 'having the wisdom, practising the self-discipline and attaching to the basic virtue of friendliness, enough to transcend fear and worry, and so achieving moral strength which other people perceive as warmth, openness and light-heartedness, or (to be metaphorical) being a shining light.'
@@calinguga his musical ability is connected to his spirit in a way that is very powerful. His music has a very gospel feel to it! You don’t need to be religious to appreciate it.
Shockingly talented! Just a natural. Technically brilliant at so many instruments (I’m a prof 🎹, but man, he can play such fluent licks - beyond me).
But most of all, his love shines through the joy of his performance.
I’ve literally just discovered Batiste 5mins ago - and man, Prince may just have a successor.
Wishing Suleika, John's wife, a swift recovery from cancer in those hard times!!! Much love
From the moment Jon Batiste led the entire Colbert Report audience out to the street in front of the studio to have them dance, I was a fan for life. If he's not making my soul sing with his incredible talent, he's introducing me to incredible musicians that he elevates with him.
Thank you, genuinely, Jon Batiste, for being exactly who you are.
BRO she's playing bass and singing like its effortless!
When John Batiste puts together a back up band, you best bet they are world class.
Check out Esperanza Spalding for another example of girl singer/bassist.
I second what xebio6 said. Esperanza Spalding is amazing.
It's almost like shes been working at it for years!
xebio6 took the words right outta my mouth.
Pardon my lateness but I just discovered Jon Batiste and this awesome all female band , eat your heart out Robert Palmer
Then he got the Grammy..and I had to find him here..because Tiny Desk keeps no secrets...he earned it!
Musically, this makes me
*stay human.*
Love he pronunces the players’ names so clearly
Especially Ne-gah, he said I’m not going to rush this and make it sound anymore like a derogatory term than it already does. Gotta Love Him!
Negah is probably brazilian
samirpalumbo She is, and studied at Berklee. Dope percussionist! All of them were talented in their own right. Great Set.
@@lmars oh I figured because here in Brazil we call our loved ones nega (female) and nego (male). It has the same root of the derogatory term tough
samirpalumbo that’s really interesting...
I love this man. I love everything he's about. He makes my feet smile. He makes the hairs on my arm give his vibe a standing applause.
I love "he makes my feet smile"!! That tells it all!
I hear you... I have smiling feet and giggling toes😉
How can anyone not feel good after listening to this concert? 😃
I try to fight my empathic nature, I try to tell myself I don't have anymore capacity to care about anyone, anyone - especially when I am struggling to hold the few scraps of my life together and find a f*cking job before I end up living on the streets. But music can pull me back in and make me feel again, remind me that feelings and emotions are powerful, important, meaningful. Music like this just melts me.
It’s medicine for the soul all right!...drink it up and keep on keeping on...better days await you❤️
Amen!
Empathy will save the world. Just keep up the good fight and be strong.
Come Canada we have a lot of work
My experience is just be willing to take any job if the business seems good, because if you are a hard worker you can work your way up. Being unemployment makes you feel powerless
So long as the music is still alive, we're going to be alright.
Yes! You're right, Christopher. And, Jon's Tiny Desk was really uplifting! Music is very therapeutic.
I dunno but I gave u a like anyway.
Seeing Jon Baptiste makes me miss New Orleans. Left a few years after Katrina knocked us for a loop!
He is the "vibe of all that's good and magical in New Orleans...so much good music..and the women were FABULOSO!!!!
Jon Batiste is just SO undeniably talented and SO amazingly likable! A breath of fresh air and ray of sunshine in music and this world. Thank you JB! Thank you NPR! Peace Love Music
What a nice thing to say about someone! Well deserved too
When he's playing the intro to I Need You and looks back at the audience-that's the look of someone who is in the zone. Supremely talented and skilled.

Pentameron i love your channel
@@CameronGuarino Thanks!
I don’t really pay attention to the Grammys anymore, but finding out he won made me so proud
I declare Jon Batiste is the GOAT!!! Never have I seen such a young gifted talented musician and singer. This Man Does It All! I love me some Jon Batiste for real!
What does it mean to say he is "the goat"? Love him btw
@@jamyeryan5568 "Greatest Of All Time"!!😃 So many gifts in one human being & he's extraordinary in every one of them!!! ♥️
Simply the guy is remarkable, years and years ago I got to see him in Central Park. At one point the whole band came down from the stage and everyone followed them out of the concert area and into the park. They played and walked and everyone just followed clapping and dancing.
This is awesome
That is so inspiring to hear! The image almost makes me tear up. I genuinely hope this thought will not offend any who happen upon this comment, but for me, the more I listen to Jon, the more I recognize him as a social prophet: one who heralds the truth that the veil between heaven and earth is surprisingly thin; and who invites us to participate in this reality.
@@stuartcampbell4626 I'm so glad someone else sees that special quality in him. He speaks with actions and music and it is so inspiring!
Okay, so this whole video is proof positive that Mr. Batiste is a musical genius in every sense. But for a true shining example, his chord solo he sets up at 14:55 and onwards is beyond human ability.
14:46 This whole piano part might be the best moment in any tiny desk ever
Got me out here dancing on my sidewalk like I’m in juke joint 😂
Mama on the guitar is giving me big Sister Rosetta Tharpe vibes!!!
Exactly 😃
Amen!
Big up to your mention of the woman that basically invented the touring bus, Sister Tharpe!!!! What a beast. Rockin before such a thing existed.
Ooh gurl when he hit the piano with his forearm! I almost fell out!! 😩 that’s a performance 🙌🏾🔥
I need YOU, Jon Batiste, to keep singing!!!! GRATEFUL for you!
This is very old music. And a lot of very young faces. We needed that joyful sound. Thank you all for this.
Jon Batiste being a musical genius is just an aside to this.
One of the best tiny desks ever
jesus this man got soul
no, the whole band does
@@prodsej You mean: Yes, the whole band does ;)
This man oozes talent, artistry, and kindness.
Jon Batiste is a HERO. One of the finest musical minds to come to the forefront in ages. He is just lighting up and he is going to burn bright on the scene for a long long time people! YES YES YES.
Next Al Green. Talent.
It's crazy how NPR knew exactly what I needed at 2:30am on a Sunday...
It's actually 2:30am on a Monday...
That's class it came out at 11:30am where I am
✨✨✨
@@rgr010 time has no meaning anymore...

So grateful for Jon Batiste and his music. His joy is infectious and he exudes such a calm, comforting vibe. We need more artists like him right now.
You nailed the description! What an amazing talent Jon is!
That's the thing, we DO have more artists like him, we all need to look harder to find them :)
Aman
@@chazzdurden absolutely right! Sadly all that talent usually drops out of mainstream. Thanks for youtube, you can find a lot talented artists like Jon in here.
Amen to that!!!
I feel like these songs are in the air, and he has the ability to pull them out. It sounds that natural.
There are tears in my eyes and my heart is full. This man is a bright light in what seems like a very dark world. Thank you a million times.
"We need everyone to spread love, because when times get weird we forget about the simple things."
The quality of this group is insane. And it made me happy.
To date, for me anyways, this has been, hands down, the best performance tiny desk has EVAH had...... they left that desk on FIYA!!!
i have this on repeat whenever i need a shot of LIFE and LOVE and FEELING
He is so much more than his Late Night persona. What a performer! His smile is another instrument.
One of the most refreshing NPR Tiny Desks I've ever seen! And that's saying a lot.
Endea, the bassist in the intro to "Coltrane'...oh yeah, girl has such a clear and powerful bass sound, it was one of the most memorable moments of this thrilling set. Thank you Jon, thank you NPR.
This woman band makes me feel so powerful!
This is the most joyous thing I've experienced in a long time.
A breathtaking performance by all group members. Jon Batiste’s role on the Late show draws heavily on both his charismatic persona and musicianship, however he never shines like he does here. The perfection and attention to detail even down to the spoken introductions and audience interactions leaves me in awe..
Yeah I think a lot of people forget these musicians on talk shows are still musicians and have lives outside the show xD. I personally think hes one of the better ones out there as well!
@@GabrielHastings He's great, but I don't think anyone in late night has ever topped The Roots. Awesome to have them both on late night at the same time.
It’s incredible!
He doesn't compete with Colbert, he complements him. It doesn't mean he can't play front man, but part of being a great musician is to be able to play back and forth with others to build something greater in the whole. He strikes the perfect balance in both situations; always impressive.
Jon is the man stand with the music..Freedom...God's People..So Human.....You have to love it..Feel It!! You take me to a higher level. The REAL DEAL JON!!!!🎹🎼🎶💯❤🧡💛🤎
sarah thawer is a beast on the drums and yet you can appreciate her professionalism, discipline, and restraint that she only plays just what the song needs and never once tries to make it about her
Jon Batiste is a perfect mix of skill and soul. Living legend 🙏
and warm personality!
possibly for the first time in an NPR Tiny Desk Concert comment: that was a killer bongo solo.
The first time I watched this performance I had my doubts whether a late night house musician could hold my attention as a singer/songwriter. Fast forward to now and I've lost count of how many times I've played this one back. Jon has such a positive energy and the man is clearly a master on the keys. There's so much soul in his playing and vocals.
❤🖤💚 I just got the album he made it for us for the better world
I love NPR Music Love the Womenband muchly J B for President
I love seeing just how much fun he has when he's performing
I think you could just say how much fun he has while he's living. Jon seems to step lightly through the world.
This makes me extremely happy. Not in an "excited to see Jon on Tiny Desk" way, as I am not previously aware of his work outside Colbert's show. In an involuntary laughter, tears of joy, mouth wide open kind of way.
I felt some pure emotion all throughout. Definitely smiling ear to ear by the end. Magic.
I love your choice of expressionary words...if your mind was a place, id probably frequent it.
Jon brings a smile to my face. He is so lovable!! Magnificent. Much Love to the sisters y'all sure nuff vibing.
Word.
Couldn’t have put it better
Absolutely amazing! Jon Batiste is by far my favorite American musician and songwriter in the past 35 years! Love this performance! Just the message we need! Thank you Jon Baptiste!!! And!!!

@@1969madame right 👍
Nothing makes me happier than Jon's piano solo at the end of this 🙌🙌🙌
Yes, that is the medicine right there... What a gift to us all
Can we name him the Angel of Jazz?! The man is so full of love and talent, its seems angelic
Yes an Angel. He just enlightens amd uplifts everyone he reaches
You are ALWAYS telling the truth with your music and your heart, Jon Batiste. And these women are nothing short of AWESOME. What a complete celebration, man. (Good thing this was nine months ago! It’s great to see all your beautiful faces.) Thank you, thank you.
This All-female band just SENDS 🌟
Now this is music.
An infusion for couped-up souls. So glad I ran across this today. Whenever I watch Colbert I ALWAYS want more Jon. This is truly precious.
Oh girl, you are so on point! And finding this the day after Election Day is like having my life saved after cardiac arrest. 😉❤ Whew! Thanks for the breath of life, Jon Battiste and friends!!
He's cartoonishly happy and exudes joyous & positive energy to the universe!
It rubs off on you! ❤️
Conveying Jazz and R&B to another exquisite level is absolutely this guy's talent! No doubt.
Stephen Colbert: That was John Batiste!
sanjay kumar We'll be right back after the break with John Oliver, stick around
I can see Celisse's feeling and enjoyment in her facial expressions. Especially at @12:28 watching Jon play the piano. It might have been my favorite part of the video.
She’s got the best seat in the house, and that look says she appreciates it.
This young man and his whole entourage is excellent! These Tiny Desk concerts deserve a Grammy, People Choice Awards. As a retired music educator, I love it❤
