This is the closest I've been to a real depression--started November 6. Jon singing "don't stop dreaming, don't stop believing" made me cry. This guy is a musician, a philosopher, and a therapist.
I have a dying grandma in the hospital (non-transportable, or we would have her home for her last days), so I can relate. Hang in there and let the little healing things in.
From classical to blues, then back to classical, moving on to jazz,...etc...new and old, the best of both worlds singlehandedly and highly skillfully performed by just one man. This guy is just waaaay too much for any of us,...really! He is just, beyond....👏👏👏
I SO miss seeing him on the show and hearing the absolute magic that comes out of his piano. We were so lucky while it lasted. Such immense talent. ❤ I hope his wife is doing ok
@@kellypatterson4412 Oh wow. Thank you. Glad she's OK. I had no idea and nothing came up but, l was google searching from Aotearoa/ New Zealand so searches were probably not very complete. Although, now you've said it, l think l vaguely remember something, is it possible they said something on the show when he left?
@@nikiTricoteuseI remember him singing a beautiful, beautiful song on the show that he said he wrote about his wife- I think he said he wrote it at the hospital-played it for her, there. “Butterfly” ? perhaps it’s called.
There aren’t the right words in the English language to describe how much i admire and respect Jon Batiste. He is more than a musical genius. He has the most beautiful soul.
Hey New Orleans - Otautahi Aotearoa (Christchurch New Zealand) here. New Orleans is the one place in America that l'd love to visit. Just wanted to say so sorry for the awful thing that was done on Bourbon Street. Hope you're all doing OK. 💔
@@nikiTricoteuse Hello Niki, are you a native New Zealander? I'd love to visit there! It must be like heaven! I love the beautiful blue waters and sandy beaches. And yes, unfortunately we share the same world with these bad people. Those were young innocent people whose lives came to a tragic end and ruined their families lives as well. Best wishes always. 🙏📿
I love him too. He speaks to our souls. That’s why we love him. I want to be like him. We might not all be the amazing eagle in flight that Jon is but we can be our own triumphant souls, not leaving our dreams to die. It’s a tall order!! Let’s all be free.
The last 90-second crescendo..... I'm crying, "I love you even if I don't know you / Yeah / Life force energy / I SAID 'I love you even if I don't know you' / Keep going!" ... ..... I'm just crying.
That is the real world! The world of spirit and soul- temporarily playing here in the earth realm. Jon’s voice and truth open up my heart. I’m so grateful. Blessed be!!
Louis was left with impossibly large shoes to fill and still brings his own special flavor with the band. That's being said, my heart always soars when we get a taste of Jon on the show! 🎶🎶❤
@@maryroberts589 he does a really good job and often reminds me of Jon but yes with his own flavor. It is always nice to see Jon come home though. Truly a blessing 🙏
People have integrated orchestras (Symphony of the New World, May 6, 1965) --- Now, Integrate the Music! And we hear your thoughts above it. You’re a genius, Jon Batiste. Thank you. It doesn’t get better than this.
❤ I've had the gift of seeing Jon perform at a small festival & then in concert on tour. It was truly life-changing & a deeply spiritual experience. Love oozes from his pores onto everyone in his path. Thank you, Jon, for sharing yourself & thank you, also, Suleika ❣️
Not only the most beautiful music, but the most inspiring. I feel the inspirational side is what he really wants to push for, kind of like his out in the open secret to the world. Thank gooodness he decides to share this amazing talent!
Jon always makes me want more. What a gift. I always end up closing my eyes to rely on my ears taking in his musical artistry-never fails; he moves me.
@@deba1289 That’s nice! I really do appreciate you for your consistency and undying love. You can also tell I’m quite inquisitive as well so I’d like to keep in touch with you privately, what do you think?
When music grabs your soul and has a dance … that’s how it feels when he plays ,it leaves me with a lump in my throat and a smile on my face … and it’s absolutely stunning !
@ it’s you that deserves the thanks ! Your joy makes music and this life better 💜 and lord knows we all need better 🙏 so many prayers for you and your most beautiful wife 🙏

Is it possible to a win grammy for a live tv performance? Because jon deserves it for this. I was smiling the entire time. Very few songs will do that. Thank you, Jon.
Happy New Years Mr Batiste Sir to you and your wonderful bride. Thank you for dropping in to Colberts show as often as you do. Please continue. 🙏🩵🙏🏾🩷🙏🏽
Spent the whole time literally bawling ❤ I kind of wish his album had the whole voiceover it was like he was plucking the chords my soul needed to hear

Jon is a musical genius.
Totally
And a true force for good
Indeed. Great singing and playing.
Always giving to us is Jon Baptiste. Felt like that was a motivational and historical tutorial.
Indubitably ❤
Colbert and Batiste......a tonic for the soul in trying times.
I agree ❤
This is so true. I look forward to seeing him visit with Johnny again soon.❤😊
wow,perfect comment

Amen to that.
And I hope you feel better soon.
maybe you could go see Jon on tour..............

Hope you’re feeling better since you’ve posted your comment💙
Jon is 1 of 1 fs!! For such a time as this.. his many gifts are a miracle to behold. + the JOY he imparts.......... atmospherechangin joy
This goes beyond talent. Jon Batiste is gifted. This is a gorgeous performance.
Beautiful music. I hope his wife is doing well. ❤
She has cancer for the third time…😢
Oh no 😢@@naylas3908
@@naylas3908oh no!!😮. So sorry about that.😢 💔
I have been worrying since seeing her wedding ring on his left pinky finger as he played.

Crikey. I though he had died when you said you hoped his wife was ok! Had to google search just in case.

Jazz, Blues, Classical and more. Jon knows the connections! One of the greats of our time.
"I love ya even if I don't know ya"❤🎉
This is the spirit of Batiste I've always felt whenever I see him.
😂Love Jon!
Jon added angelic wings to his performance!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t know how anyone could top Jon.
Just the opposite of the racist, entitled, maga ppl: they hate every single immigrant, even if they don't know them.
There is no greater sound of joy than the laugh of John Batiste!
There aren’t the right words in the English language to describe how much i admire and respect Jon Batiste. He is more than a musical genius. He has the most beautiful soul.
One of the few good things about Covid - during the lockdown we got to know Jon.
That's our Home Boy, Jon Baptiste, making us proud to be New Orleanians! ⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜

Talented, innovative and such a positive person and artist.
Jon’s Beethoven is cool🎉
This is inspiring to all who would listen.
Absolutely. I picked up my guitar after years of neglecting it and started tuning it right after this.
Started off skeptical, ended up converted, classic Jon Batiste, dude's truly one of those talents.
National treasure
Soul in reality.
This was absolutely amazing!! So nice to hear you play on the show again! How is it possible to have such talent in one body???
Jon is so amazing on the 🎹 and I miss him so much being on the show. Please come back more often! ❤🙏🏼
The last 90-second crescendo..... I'm crying, "I love you even if I don't know you / Yeah / Life force energy / I SAID 'I love you even if I don't know you' / Keep going!" ...
..... I'm just crying.
Batiste . A great talent and a great human being.
Absolutely beautifully written and performed. Gifted
God given talent plus hard work.
Jon is pure genius and plays from his soul.
Jon is magic! To listen to him is to be transported out of the real world.
That is the real world! The world of spirit and soul- temporarily playing here in the earth realm. Jon’s voice and truth open up my heart. I’m so grateful. Blessed be!!
You dream of witnessing one day a genius moving performance.... today is that day!
Thank you so much for the love, I really appreciate everything. It’s nice meeting you here, I hope you are doing well?
Speaking to my heart, Jon. I was singing Beethoven when I was 2 years old.
Jon is extraordinary, just beautiful!
