+Tricia Tripp Well people thumbs down videos for various reasons. Some of them might just not like jazz music, but some people actually really hate Batiste.
@@bassplayerxxd4873 really. He sounds completely sincere, he listens, he asks informed questions. He understands music and making music. He is articulate. Doesnt talk over or interrupt except to "mmm" "amen". Churchy call and answer. Great interview and "freaking experience.:" This with Shorter, who froze out Becker and Fagan of Steely Dan when they hired him to play a solo in " Asia" wanted to do the hang with them on the couch and blah blah. He said, "They wanted to sit around and talk about how it was to play with Miles. I'm from Philly, in my neighborhood we kinda looked down on people who just talked too much and couldn't just do it, walk the walk". I'm paraphrasing, but it's nice to see him wide open, open up and , well, talk about playing with Miles. :)
Jonathan Gasser jazz will fundamentally never die. It's impossible. It may become more or less popular during certain times, but it is progress and feeling and human experience expressed without words, which will always at least have the potential to be refreshing to those who listen.
Well I mean that it certainly isn't the same as back then... you do have a couple of clubs left in the big cities, but it's just... different. People talk during the performances, it's taken on the reputation of being elevator music, stuff for snobs. Kinda going through the same path as classical music did. So yes, people will still listen to it forever, but its golden age is over. This is why it's nice to see these old blokes still at it. By the way I play jazz, and listen to it everyday, please don't assume things about other people.
i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Ian Mekhi i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Indeed, but I would like to here some more actual music. Especially when there's an artist sitting on the chair talking about how one wouldn't have to play if he conveyed his thoughts. Why isn't he answering using his instrument? At least some questions.
Man. Wayne just oozes wisdom. I found myself rewinding little phrases from his solos back when I was binging 60's jazz records. His melodic and harmonic sensibilities are truly one of a kind. He's a guru to us all.
Batiste is such a wonderfully passionate guy and it really shows in videos like these. I can't imagine what meeting Wayne Shorter must have been like for him, I'm just glad I get to watch it.
Wow. Wayne Shorter. Even among the giants, this man has no equal. He transformed jazz composition as radically as John Coltrane did. His standards always stand out. They are profound and absolutely authentic.
RIEST IN POWER TO THE BEST IMPROVISER OF ALL TIME !!! he inspired us all, this is by far my favorite interview of all time and has been for a few years, please release the full ending jam it’s beautiful
RIP Wayne Shorter and thank you Jon for sharing these moments! This underscores the importance of video interviewing our elders, so their wisdom can live on forever.
I'm really encouraged by all these positive comments here... It's so great to see that non-jazz audiences like this kind of exposure! If jazz education becomes more prevalent, I have faith that people will love it again. This was a really great session! Thank you for promoting this thought-provoking stuff Stephen!
This was amazing. Both the questions/conversions from musician to musician to the improvised playing in between. That's truly when you get to know a player as a person, when you hear them improvise without any restraint.
Any album recommendations you could share that fall in-line with that vibe? So good it gave me chills... I think Nik Bartsch gets there with parts of his compositions, but I'd appreciate a few more options at that end of things.
This stuff is so good. Jon asks great questions and really listens and responds to the answers. Beautiful interview. "If I could tell you what I was thinking about, I wouldn't have to play." -Tony Williams
Hong Fu Teo id love to see it on the show. But it would have to be shortened down and would probably need more humor, while still keeping that awesome feel of just two guys talking about jazz. If they could pull it off it could be great
That was awesome. I love Shorter's playing. I have several Weather Report albums. Some of the best jazz. "In a Silent Way" is one of my favourite pieces of music. If he is writing a Clarinet concerto I can't wait to hear it. He is one of the really great musicians of the last 100 years.
Please make more of these. I love Jon's music and him talking with legends is just the most interesting thing I've ever seen. I end up spending an hour looking up all the bands and music they reference. Please make this more then a once a month segment, give us a weekly Batiste Sessions. If it's only on youtube it's worth it. It's the only way I watch TV anyway.
To the 24 who disliked this video, go back in the basement and keep listening to yourJustin Beiber digital files. This was thoroughly enjoyable. Love listening to these legends talk. Such great inspiration!
All of these Batiste Sessions are Legendary stuff. Instant Vintage. I could hardly wait to hear him accompany the Great Mr. Shorter. Batiste really sets the bar high for musicians in general. The rap made up for the time lost not hearing the music too!
This was incredible. I have pnly two suggestions to make this even more perfect than it is: 1) Please, play an entire set... the music you two improvised was GORGEOUS., and 2) Do dozens more of these! a jazz musician interviewing an icon of jazz like Wayne Shorter is just... WOW. this was great!
Jon, please do more of these segments! It's difficult describing to someone what playing music is like. It's a conversation of emotion which is difficult to convery in words. I hope to see more of your videos in the future!
I'm loving these segments, Batiste asks some wonderfully unusual questions of these masters that really make them and their answers relatable to an average shmo like me. One thing I would like more of, is the actual music, maybe 5 minutes at the end of an uninterrupted jam. I was left with blue balls in this segment after last little piece they played! Just as the hairs on the back of my neck began to stir, cut! :(
- What is life? "What" is life. We are doing "what" everyday. - Our ego should serve us instead of serving it. - What was an interruption is now an opportunity.
You can tell Batiste is still green when it comes to interviewing, but his knowledge of music, especially jazz, more than makes up for that deficit. These sessions cover subjects usually untouched by traditional late night segments, and I think with more experience that Batiste will become a great interviewer.
I did not see a problem with the interview. In fact, I thought he asked some very insightful and thought provoking questions. I don’t get what you guys are talking about. He obviously is not a professional journalist or interviewer, he is a professional musician. But so what?
I disagree. Batiste asked the best questions and engaged this particular artist in a most insightful and respectful way. nothing green about that. A "professional" interviewer would likely not have the wherewithal or concept to relate to Wayne or his music, but would likely ask the same old tired hackneyed questions. This was excellent.
That was a great interview!!! Those were all great answers to great questions. He just pulled great stories and insights out of a jazz legend. With a good manner, and style about himself. I'm a musician so I am biased.
I've got a mission, I can relate to that. Waking up in the morning and thinking whatever happens I've got to do my thing, that's your personal mission. How do we deal with the ego? Abandon arrogance and always be a student your whole life.
It's wonderful to hear musicians discuss their craft or any professional but especially a cat like Wayne who has not simply evolved but remained true to himself. When did he become so deeply self aware? He is correct in that you must know the building blocks of music before you're able to express yourself musically. It's like learning to speak. Thank you for sharing.
In music form, how would you express who you are? If someone were to say "I'm from another planet and I only understand notes and tones", how would you play who you are? - Batiste That is such a great question, and the answer was so great also. Great series! Can't wait to see more of Batiste Sessions.
What did I just watch?! That wasn't an interview, that was a freaking experience. He's so right about egos in jazz. We need more of this.
annyongpanda right?!!! So unexpected! I love it!! Who could possibly thumbs this down?!!

Jonathan Gasser when has Jazz died? Maybe you aren't listening to enough.
in frank zappa's words: 'jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny..'
Well I mean that it certainly isn't the same as back then... you do have a couple of clubs left in the big cities, but it's just... different.

can someone pls tell me some great jazz music to listen to ? I am not familiar with jazz music
Jon Batiste getting a segment like this on the regular? I dig it.
Jim's videos hell i hope so. wayne is a legend!
Well he's gonna have to get more than 25K views if we want it to keep going. Share with your friends!

That final improv was right out of neo-impressionism! Really interesting and colorful.

@@AustinStonewall wayne shorter - emanon
It's what we call "jazz"
'What was an interruption is now an opportunity " wow
these sessions are just lovely.
Thank you Jon Batiste. These verbal and musical exchanges with the masters of jazz are very special ❤️👍
Wayne Shorter.... man your contribution on Aja is just perfect. Donald and Walter knew a legend when they heard one.
Stay cool jazz cat.
Wayne's music changed my life. I will miss him. Rest in peace, Wayne Shorter.
This stuff is so good. Jon asks great questions and really listens and responds to the answers. Beautiful interview.
"If I could tell you what I was thinking about, I wouldn't have to play." -Tony Williams
At the end, when Wayne tells Jon, “You got it!” almost like he’s passing the torch to the younger generation..feels man
We want a much longer interview with more jazz greats. Please make this a series!
please feature Jon Batiste more. Make his interviews with musicians a regular thing.
please let this be a regular weekly segment!
Hong Fu Teo id love to see it on the show. But it would have to be shortened down and would probably need more humor, while still keeping that awesome feel of just two guys talking about jazz. If they could pull it off it could be great
and the music they play would probably be a more major part of it
Absolutely wonderful conversation and the musical moment at the end brought happy tears.🙏💖
Jon Batiste is a wholesome, charming cinnamon roll with true passion and love for what he does. ANY segments with Jon Batiste: YES. PLEASE. DO MORE!
I'm glad Jon Batiste finally gets the recognition he deserves in the RUclips comments.
His pianism at the end was fabulous.
Rest in peace Wayne Shorter: a master of the music and of the silence behind it
like the rain and the wind, of a gentle spring shower..
This is marvelous, seeing both of them so comfortable, talking shop like this. I'd love to see more of this.
That was awesome. I love Shorter's playing. I have several Weather Report albums. Some of the best jazz. "In a Silent Way" is one of my favourite pieces of music. If he is writing a Clarinet concerto I can't wait to hear it. He is one of the really great musicians of the last 100 years.
This here man is one of the truest artists of all time.
The last minute and a half of conversation and music always makes me tear up. "There is no such thing as a mistake."
Thank you so much.
Dude, I so desperately want to hear more of them playing together.
I'm not even just a jazz/classic music fan like that. But I like these sessions. To see the artist speak on creating and being creative
Wayne Shorter is the definition of a living treasure.
Omg. Wayne needs to share that recording of bird teaching!!!!
Wow,Jon.. awesome,man. You got to sit and talk with WAYNE SHORTER,man! You and him together is priceless!

Nice playing, Jon. Reminiscent of the intro to John & Mary (Jaco Pastorius's Word Of Mouth) on which Wayne contributed magnificently.
Peter Yianilos I didn't know shorter played on word of mouth, I thought Bob Mintzer covered the sax duties
Fantastic interview. Thanks!
Fantastic, thank you!! I just wish there was a bit more playing... Wayne is a legend
Wayne is a truly deep thinker.
Wayne shorter! I listened to him at Lincoln center a while back. a true artist with a panache of sizzle on the brass.
Jon, please do more of these segments! It's difficult describing to someone what playing music is like. It's a conversation of emotion which is difficult to convery in words. I hope to see more of your videos in the future!
This is one of my favorite segments. I would watch a whole season of hour long batiste session
That piece at the end was wonderful
Wayne Shorter = Living Legend! Jazz is not dead.
Interview great. AND... let's hear more of the two improvising together. That final segment 9:55 was awe inspiring. I'm sure it went on for minutes.
What a beautiful meeting and dialogue between generations ❤️
Yes Wayne Shorter!
Awesome! Bring Ron Carter next, please.
Amazing and inspirational words from two amazing people. Listening to these guys makes my mind clear somehow.
He's a legend!
I wish I’d seen this a long time ago. The legend and the young lion, both old souls with youthful, free spirits.

Beautiful. L love these sessions with Batiste.
This is wonderful! More of these interviews, please!

Beautiful. No mistakes. Just play. Deep appreciation.
6;30 Jon and Wayne Shorter PLAYING OMG WHOOOOO LET THE DOG OUT!!
Thank you thank you! Jon - keep em coming! Love it.... Wayne, youre looking and sounding great! Wished that last improv was longer....
I didn't realize this had been a regular segment, this was my intro...as usual, beautifully done maestro Batiste!
Very cool. Happy for Jon to get this experience
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I saw Jon and his band open for Cecil Taylor in 2009. Please do one of these with Cecil.
Two lovely souls.
brilliant! this was very special. i hope these sessions continue.
imagine if there had been late night sessions with paul schaffer?
I just saw Paul sitting in with the Gil Evans band on Friday, still grooving hard ;)
@fig. 8 That would be legendary too!
Wonderful Session!!❤️🎶
Wow, just lovely. Thanks guys.
I know this is probably the third of these segments in four or 6 weeks, but I still want MOAR!
Thank you, Jon.
Inspirational and gives me even more of myself back to me
omg, loooooove this segment. more please!

Its a shame that the average human being has no idea who Wayne Shorter is....well kids this guy is a LEGEND !!! a JAZZzzzzz LEGEND/ICON
What is life?... That's right. What is life. Super deep. I love that.
From tepid Shorter to magnanimous Shorter!
This conversation between Shorter and Batiste IS life.

I bow at the feet of the master. I hope I'm that youthful and lucid at 82
