  • Musician and bandleader for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Jon Batiste performs his breathtaking and ever-poignant rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" with the National Symphony Orchestra.
    DECLASSIFIED®: Ben Folds Presents - In this concert series, NSO Artistic Advisor Ben Folds breaks down barriers between music genres. Folds selects the artists to showcase both classical and modern music arranged specifically for the National Symphony Orchestra.
    Jon Batiste is featured in the Disney+ animated film, "Soul." He arranged, performed, and consulted on the soundtrack and his fingers were used as the model for those of the lead character.

    This song (Armstrong's) used to make me really sad, similar to the ways Somewhere Over the Rainbow and You Are My Sunshine-do. They're songs that when taken at face value feel fairly innocuous but when are examined more closely, are felt more deeply, they hit in this really melancholy way. Then this came along and I am left thinking, in spite of all the present day troubles, yeah, it is. I still have hope and see the potential for it to be... This is such a special performance and such a reverent piece. Dear Jon Batiste, you're an alchemist and a deeply needed balm. Thank you for all you give.

    • @shaibonn7097
      @shaibonn7097 5 місяців тому

      That is fair. I saw this as a perfect version for something like the end of a documentary either about nature or about human resilience or from birth to puberty/adulthood. I saw flashes of children laughing and playing in different places around the world, interspersed with clips of pictures of different natural phenomena like birds and butterflies migrating, salmon going upstream and little baby monkeys playing, and ending with a bride dancing with her grandfather and a groom with his grandmother on the same dancefloor. So I appreciated it for what it evoked but I would agree it probably wouldn't be me go to listen for the song, Louis Armstrong's version would be that for me

      I mean, it's not an unanswerable question. I googled and saw that The Kennedy Center employees around 200 people. It's pretty unlikely that their entire workforce is illegal immigrants, so it's safe to say the correct answer was 'no, of course there are American citizens who would benefit from the funding'.
      Incidentally, it also was NOT a rider. The COVID stimulus spending was a rider on an omnibus spending bill. The spending bill mostly tallied with the allocations mooted by the Trump administration, including the funding for Kennedy Center. If you have a problem with the amount of money they're getting the first place you complain should be Mar-a-Lago
