Jon Batiste: an authentic man
Yes indeed!
A special person, refined profound spirit and an excellent musician
there are no words for my admiration for people like Jon Batiste.
Jon, God Bless you! Tell Stephen we want him to interview you and let us hear more of your music!
Jon B is an incredible musician. He seems to have a calm focus from within.
What a straight to you open man, humble and good. Jon Batiste is wonderful.
Such a beautiful talented man.
Jon is brilliant, talented and humble. A winning trio. Thank you for another insightful interview with Jon. He brings me hope when I think I'm losing it.
Jon Batiste is real national treasure. Has been, is being, and will be ... Thank you Jon!! 💓☮️🎶🎸😷👍and, wow! St. James interpretation is soul-simple genius!! 😁💓
excellent interview - what a creative profound soul "...the world is in pain and it needs healing..." music and the arts brings us together...
Great interview. I loved hearing Jon's perspective on music, culture, and what's happening in the world today. Very passionate and intelligent man. I can't wait to listen to his album. Keep up the good work. Continue to enlighten us through your gift of music.
Wonderful man and musician. I am pleased that Stephen Colbert has given Jon a platform on his show. Wish he had more profile on the show and beyond!!
I always cry with this song, and Jon has me bawling. His music absorbs me, I allow myself to “feel “ every note.
Blessed Be Jon, I am excited to hear what he’s been cooking up for us. Peace
Jon Batiste, you are great! Thank you for your music! I listen to you from Europe. I love you!!!
National treasure!!!
What a gentle soul!
Just seeing Jon's smile - first thing you always see wherever he is - brightens my mood especially this year. Then you add his music and it's pretty gigantic. Reminds me of Louis Armstrong, and that's tip top rank.
Great artist - great interview - really lifted my spirit today - and I'm smiling - thank you Jon Baptiste for sharing the beauty of your soul with me today!
Beautiful! I love Jon Batiste!
I loooove this album. I bought it the instant he released it. He is an amazing musician.
Excellent delineation of Joy and happiness.
Mr. Jon Batiste thank you for sharing your genius with us. Congratulations on all of your awards!
I love you and your music Jon!! I also agree with your thoughts on this!! Thank you from a huge FAN. 🇨🇦👏👏🌹❤️
Jon, you are so loved. I pray you stay with Colbert awhile longer, for many reasons. You are always true to your values-to yourself, who lives those values-and that comes through on the show consistently, no matter how silly or racy Stephen gets. You add authenticity, integrity and balance, no matter what is happening. But above all, Stay Human is simply the best ensemble in late night, and always brilliant!! We need you more than ever, because you bring a bit of Heaven wherever you go. 🎶🎶🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️💥
Love You Jon Batiste. Your answers are so so good. I liked every word you said. You are poetry personified in an empathetic artistic genius. Can’t wait for your prefect on Basquiat
I greatly appreciate Jon's talent and his deep knowledge of music history. He is a brilliant beacon. Yes, when we know better we must do better.
Black people supply joy juice to the world
Jon is very articulate, and he explains our history very well.
Jon, you are a Class Act. Thank you for your positive perspective. And thanks for this interview.
What a wonderful person and artist Jean Batiste is, besides his artistic inspiration & intelligence…👏🙏🌻🌞
Jon Batiste....intelligent, profound soul and spirit.
Beautiful soul, beautiful talent, beautiful human being.
Thank you Jon
Jon Baptiste is a wonderful musician and human being! Enjoyable interview to watch. But IMO, happiness and joy are synonymous. It’s higher form of human experience. Pleasure is more for the senses - which is what Jon defines as being ‘happiness’. In philosophy that’s the distinction.
Totally agree. Thanks for expressing my own views so well!!
Maybe his happiness and joy isn't defined by what's written but from his experiences, his own definition.
'Christ in us' is what i see. Thanks J-MB.
He is so inspiring!
Jon, it is not your JOB to supply us with hope. But you certainly do honor the Grandmas most every time I see you. You are a dead serious man, and yet there is always some kind of lift up in how you speak.
Jon Batiste. You are a joyful inspiration. You lift spirits. You are extraordinarily wonderful. Thank you for sharing all of that and more through your musical brilliance.
This is a deep-dive lesson in what grace within a human can manifest. Grace is a lifestyle choice.
Under fire, and at times literally (but mostly figuratively) , we may not be able to slow down or even stop a badly evolving situation.
But by choosing to live by grace (or just giving it your best shot that day), you can reinforce within your own core that you can be truthful and believe -- and at a minimum, understand what is actually happening. You can weed through the rubble of falsehoods and pure evil. The goal of pure evil is to destroy the joy inside of everyone. Period. So you put on your own mask of 'gettng to the truth and exposing evil by any means necessary.'
We all have gifts to share in this world. But sadly some people's gifts are evil. It's hard to think of it as a gift per se We see it on a daily basis. Sadly. -- Jon's gift of grace in his spirit is musically and creatively is phenomenal.
Some of us are a lot less creative. Ours might be through striking up a conversation in a grocery store with a stranger and making them laugh. Just giving a little joy to someone else... or listening to their pain that they don't mean to speak ... But they feel safe enough to share with you. And you feel safe enough to listen. With no judgment. But honestly. We know people will tell a 'perfect stranger' something that is so painful that it's surprising. But you're there for them at that time. And you listen. And it's no judgment. That is being graceful to another human by jumping into their fire. That's the chance you take as you swallow hard, and try your best to help others ... you don't mind. It's a simple as that.
However, humans are never perfect...And there is an old saying that there is Perfection in Imperfecti9n. Imperfection..hmmm. Should I get up and save the world today as my special gift so to speak. Or can I really just handle 2 cups of coffee, a little food (if there is food in the refrigerator) and crawl back under covers (if I'm lucky enough to have a bed on which to rest my head) and just let the world go on. Some days it's a harder choice than others..
So when you choose Grace you don't mind listening to a 19 minute interview. You don't wanna go onto the next bright shiny object... It'll be there when you're ready to play and have some fun. But Joy is in the learning. And if it makes you feel good inside and helps you put 1 foot in front of the other today...that's pretty damn great in my not-asked-for opinion.
Everyone please take care. Be safe. We need you.

my dad was a dry cleaner and one of the most racist people I have ever met, and yet, when "Satchmo" left a silk handkerchief in his suit pocket, my father stole it and it was one of his proudest possessions
Love you. We love you John Batista and your beautiful wife.

PBS can't afford a keyboard for Jon Batiste
They say Louis Armstrong hated smiling and the visuals he was expected to do.
This skinny dude's chest is nowhere near big enough to hold all the medals he deserves
