Love how the band actually know they are playing with a…LEGEND✊🏾 She needs to tour!🙏🏾 Fantastic performance & special shout out to that TRUMPET PLAYER…he seems to actually be enjoying himself.
What an incredible group of musicians. Jon is and always will be amazing, but Louis Cato has stepped right up. Look forward to seeing Stephen interact with the band more and learning their names (like on Conan!)
In case you're interested,.... the current roster is: Louis Cato (bandleader/guitar); Endea Owens (bass); Negah Santos (percussion); Joe Saylor (drums); Jon Lampley (trumpet); Louis Fouché (sax); and Corey Bernhard (keyboards). Most if not all of them are multi-instrumentalists. I watched Endea Owens do a Tiny Desk Concert before I got who she was. They're all so amazing.
MORE OF THIS FOREVER AND ALWAYS Edit: Okay, now that the initial shock has worn off a bit, HOLY CRAP I did not expect the Late Show Band to be so absolutely outstanding. I mean, having Meshell there didn't hurt, but still. What a fantastically talented group of musicians.
I LOVE HER! Her album, "Peace Beyond Passion" is my favorite funk & soul music ever, and I've been around since the days of Sly & the Family Stone. And as a bass player, I could only hope that my playing could ever reach the depths of emotion she exhibits. BRILLIANT!!
Almost every time The Late Show has a musical guest, I go "Who?" Then I hear them and go "OMG" Mind blowing, almost all of the musical acts that come on, mind blowing! Whoever does the musical bookings for this show, you're not being paid enough!!!
Louis is so effing cool. I loved Jon's work, but Louis is the long-term band leader in my eyes. Such wonderful energy and brilliant, broad, engaging skills, and a fantastic ability to integrate these guest artists.
I had no idea the band could jam out that well! Diggin this big time. Maybe they should tell that Colbert guy to let the band do more music on the show.
I'd be surprised if they couldn't. They're all first-call jazzers who can play their asses off, plus they get one thing most jazz bands, even the best, don't - regular practice as a band.
I heard there was a complicated contractual rights problem with allowing some of these live performances to be aired on TV. Apparently they have found a way to get around that for RUclips!!!
Just listened to Meshell's Omnichord Realbook...blown away & then this in my recommended youtube list - blown away again, what a track & what a band!!!
Well, that was as refreshing as an unexpected gentle rainshower. In Texas. Thanks for this! Anyway we could have this more often. Nice seeing her in the mainstream.
Thank you for having this AWESOME Artist here on your show!!! HAVE LOVED HER SINCE INCEPTION. LOVE ME'SHELL'S FACE WHEN SHE IS REALLY FEELING IT! Band is great too!!!
Yes! That's what I'm talking bout! Real musicianship. Thank you Colbert for highlighting her incredible music. More people need to know about this incredible artist!
This is amazing. I'm so glad to hear this. I will investigate her music further. How many times have I complained that there's no good music out there anymore? Now I know it's just a lack of me being involved. And that dude on the trumpet just WRECKED it - wow
It's one of my favorite songs of hers. I'm really happy to be able to see this song performed live. When she came to Japan, she had just released her "Comet, Come to Me" album and it was a really fun show. I still remember the shock I felt when she debuted, and I love all of her albums.
This was a better performance than many of the artists you have promoted on the show! Whoever is responsible for posting here needs to ensure this is a regular feature. Due my schedule I rarely get to see the show at broadcast so I rely heavily on the clips you post. Fantastic performance!
Oh, I remember her. She's the one who did that duet with John Mellencamp and had that song "If That Was Your Boyfriend". I wondered what happened to her.
wow, that is a genuine legend and unexpected for mainstream TV musical acts
💯
More of this please. It's maddening to always hear this band finishing what was clearly a killer performance.
Yes more of band on show❤❤❤❤
I just love Meshell. Her voice holds all of her candor and passion and her music is absolutely beautiful.
She’s one of one! There’s nobody like her
THIS is the magic of live music. What an incredible performance by each individual, because the is so much greater than the parts.
That bass guitar has seen life and is life.....
KEEP POSTING THESE!! You have a great band with amazing artists sitting in for a night or a week on the regular. Share it with the people.
That bass harmony MeShell hits at 4:52 is part of what makes her such an essential part of why bass guitars do it for me.
Love how the band actually know they are playing with a…LEGEND✊🏾 She needs to tour!🙏🏾 Fantastic performance & special shout out to that TRUMPET PLAYER…he seems to actually be enjoying himself.

I second that!~

Jon Lampley plays with O.A.R. and Cory Wong too
Period
100% LOVE Meshell Ndegeocello : This jam is the BEST jam!!!!!
What a legend! Been a fan since I first heard her ages ago back in the early 90s.
Me too! As a bass player she’s SO solid! Her voice and lyrics. I wish I could sing and play like her!
Yeah
I go back to her 1st Album
Plantation Lullabies.
She's the Truth!
Yes indeed! Meshelle is a force! And the musicians she chooses to be around understand the assignment
Saw Meshelle live back in 2003 and she still has that shyt that nobody can EFF with
MORE OF THIS FOREVER AND ALWAYS

Word
Watch the Cory Wong "Lunchtime" one if you haven't, it's nuts. This band is nuts.
Seeing them live...you won't be able to sit still..dance..dance I say!
I totally agree with others, please give us more of this. What a fantastic band! Talent everywhere on that stage!
I just love her ...I'm still listening to the anthropology cookies album...it's sure banging.
I LOVE HER! Her album, "Peace Beyond Passion" is my favorite funk & soul music ever, and I've been around since the days of Sly & the Family Stone. And as a bass player, I could only hope that my playing could ever reach the depths of emotion she exhibits. BRILLIANT!!

You can't go wrong with the Late Show taste in music. Every time LSSC has introduced me to someone I have never heard of, it has been amazing
This is better than The Lateshow could possibly deserve. Incredible!
Wow!!! Incredible performance my ears are swimming in the sweetness
Phenomenal artist, Meshell is a magical being.
This is something you should do every darn day! Louis Cato and the band rock on every genre they play - an absolutely outstanding band.
Awesome uplift...Great space Bass placement by upright electric duo. Whole band...Damn👌❤️🌟
It's amazing how her music transients! Comfort Woman... Love this album
She is a LEGEND
Louis is so effing cool. I loved Jon's work, but Louis is the long-term band leader in my eyes. Such wonderful energy and brilliant, broad, engaging skills, and a fantastic ability to integrate these guest artists.
❤Ed this performance.She, and the band were infkngcredible!!! Need 2 see more...Norman Walker😂
Performance has been saved! Norman Hyatt Walker😊 Nov.1st 2023@1:24 pm. Send me more...
I had no idea the band could jam out that well! Diggin this big time. Maybe they should tell that Colbert guy to let the band do more music on the show.

I love that they’ve started posting these music breaks! This is only second one I’ve seen but I LOVE it!
That is a good idea.
No one is doing this.
I heard there was a complicated contractual rights problem with allowing some of these live performances to be aired on TV. Apparently they have found a way to get around that for RUclips!!!
This is Amazing TV. Thank Goodness for Meshell . Fantastic Group of Musicians .
Just listened to Meshell's Omnichord Realbook...blown away & then this in my recommended youtube list - blown away again, what a track & what a band!!!
This is Meshell Ndegeocellos' 30th Anniversary in the music business. I believe she's had that same bass for 30 years.
That was absolutely freakin' awesome. Plus Meshell too. Luis Cato and the band were killin' it.
It's wonderful when Louis and Meshell lock back in at 4:55 - great resolve - absolutely love this
Well, that was as refreshing as an unexpected gentle rainshower.
In Texas.
Thanks for this!
Anyway we could have this more often. Nice seeing her in the mainstream.
❤️🔥✨🤩✨Love, Love Meshell Ndegeocello🎉Thank 🌷🌻🌹, you all Rock!!!! ✨🙏🏽💞💕
Meshell Ndegeocello always one of my forever favorites! That trumpet solo was sweet too!
True artist and musician who greatly influenced me as a bassist back in the day. Rad.
Thank you for having this AWESOME Artist here on your show!!! HAVE LOVED HER SINCE INCEPTION. LOVE ME'SHELL'S FACE WHEN SHE IS REALLY FEELING IT! Band is great too!!!

Oh my god!! ❤ I love her and her voice. The Music comes from heaven
Few things rock more than a band with TWO bassists!
(Yes I know one is a special guest, but still damn cool!)
HOLY CRAP! YOU ANSWERED MY REQUEST! FREAKIN' COLBERT!
Michelle N'dege Ochello. The boss. Mad Respect for this Woman right here!!!
Love!! Cato is amazing musical leader (and as cute as can be❤)
This is amazing. I'm so glad to hear this. I will investigate her music further. How many times have I complained that there's no good music out there anymore? Now I know it's just a lack of me being involved. And that dude on the trumpet just WRECKED it - wow
Love Meshell, Beautifully performed 🎉❤
Good stuff. Real music.
The studio recording of Andromeda is one of my favorite songs of all time. This arrangement is cool.
Beautiful. Here's to everyone else dancing round the living rooooom xx
AMAZING!!!
It's one of my favorite songs of hers. I'm really happy to be able to see this song performed live. When she came to Japan, she had just released her "Comet, Come to Me" album and it was a really fun show. I still remember the shock I felt when she debuted, and I love all of her albums.
1:09 / 6:36
Meshell Ndegeocello is an amazing musician, wish more people knew of her.
This was a better performance than many of the artists you have promoted on the show! Whoever is responsible for posting here needs to ensure this is a regular feature. Due my schedule I rarely get to see the show at broadcast so I rely heavily on the clips you post. Fantastic performance!
Thank you! And please post more of Meshell’s performance! I watched the day it happened and was sad to not watch the entire songs.
What a treat! I have missed that voice so much.
Women on bass make me smile❤❤❤
I'm crying, it's just so good.
Me too!!
WOW WOW WOW I’ll take as much of that as you’ve got. Funky, cool, talent, I’m out of words.
absolutely fucking brilliant !!!! Huge props to guitar man! Never knew your depth!
