    Jon Batiste is more knowledgeable and understands music, feelings, emotion, joy, technique and love better than any professor of music with all the PHD degrees. He should be given an honorary doctorate, because he is so brilliant. He not only understands more than 99% of the musically gifted but he conveys it to anyone so effortlessly and with so much joy and love ❤️

    Jon Batiste is a modern-day musical genius. As the host alluded, taking the hypotenuse to cathartic heights. I could listen to Jon Batiste talk and play music all day. It is disappointing that he is not more talked about and celebrated in mainstream music.

    In dark times there are always bright lights. Jon Batiste shines so brightly. The unapologetic and consistent expression of love, joy, healing, and spontaneity iminates from every fiber of his being so effortlessly that he restores my faith in humanity. Souls like his encourage me to keep faith that we will overcome our darker nature and finally heal this beleaguered world.

    None of the incredible works from the late 19th century to the present day would be possible without gospel and blues. And even before that, from the plantation songs by the enslaved, question and answer. The sounds that dictated the rhythm of work in plantation songs distilled pain and hopelessness into blues, and redemption and joy into gospel. The USA owes a large part of its musical culture to thousands of people who were taken from their lands to work in subhuman conditions. This debt will not be repaid in a million years. The same thing happened here in Brazil. Anyway, peace to all!
