I don’t have words to adequately express my experience of Jon Batiste. Calling him a genius may be the best word I can think of. Yet, he is SOOOO MUCH MORE! A beautiful soul! Grateful to hear this interview.

This channel has 577k subs and in 3 months this 48 min interview with the finest human on the planet only has 15k views? What is wrong with people?
So awesome to hear this. Beautiful man, fine musician.

A fabulous listen. ❤ I got to meet Jon last night at his Toronto show, and he's just such a wonderful soul.

[@FernandaNiven]

You are the extraordinary light of kindness , joy, wisdom and inspiration that the world is so desperately in need of. I learned so much from this interview not only about your creative musical genius but your intelligence and depth of character. I applaud your recognition that anyone who disrespects you has lost a tremendous opportunity of being with you! I’m so looking forward to the joy of another magnificent concert on September 7 th.

European exceptionalism … if you don’t like toilet water call it « eau de toilette »…. My saxophone brand is P Mauriat Paris, owned and operated in Taiwan … no French in it whatsoever … it’s very sophisticated… I love JB’s line about « everything synonymous with sophistication has to have a French accent » so well said.
