I've studied music all my life and when i listen to Jon i hear and feel things as never before. Maybe at first i say "what is he doing?" Then something magic happens ! And my heat and soul say "Now i hear and know what that piece is all about!". It's like he takes me by the hand into a different, wonderful world . 😻
I believe he sees music in a different way than most musicians. But what's more is he has the ability to give u a peak of it that u can understand and follow.
It's always cool when two styles can be blended together into something totally surprising. I've only managed it a few times ... People like Jon and Chris Thile make it all seem so obvious! Like, how did Chopin NOT compose it this way?
Hes what I've been wishing since childhood: elevated soulful versions of classics 🙏🏼✨ My simplistic attempts could never hold a candle to his exquisite renditions. I'm so grateful to be in the age of witnessing this polished portrayal of his style -- again, again, and again with other well loved pieces, Please! Rachmaninov to Chopin the meditations, the all.....to infinity 💞
Wow! We never know exactly where he's going with the next chord! I trust Jon is in the flow of a high power - not unlike JS Bach, though in a completely different musical realm. I'm happy to flow right along each step of the way.
You are so right about Jon being a gaucho 🎉and when you hear him interviewed, his love for his family is so strong and overflowing with love and joy. He has a beautiful heart and soul 🙏🏻❤️
@@ignaciowarro5129 They would have to be professionals! As a social dancer of 15 years I would find this really hard to dance to! Too jazzy for most of us
@@madelinelees945 Yeah, that's why I said it would have to be choreographed. I don't think you could just get up and dance socially to it. It wouldn't do the song justice. I'm a novice Tango dancer but I'd love to see this staged.
Je me suis depuis des annees à comme j'aime sa musique l homme qu'il est, sa vie sa bienveillance,sa créativité, son inventivité sa femme, son aura ...je le fai s découvrir autour de moi .. un jour en tant que française ayant une mere pianiste, le voir ,voir son travail être la quelques H ,voir sa compagne génial...son amour de la bible quel beauté de sensibilité
I have listened to several great performances by Jon. This time my mouth fell and stayed open for the whole song. Magnificent is even too weak to capture the listening experience.
You gotta get outta the house more and try to forget about the Steve Colbert show. There are many, many other young pianists that are way the fuck more talented than this cretin. Holy shit. There are people at Smalls Jazz club in NYC (youTube this) that play the fuck out of the instrument and are way the fuck more talented than this creep. Check out Julius Rodriguez. Holy shit. That kid can fucking play.
@@J3unG I would appreciate it if you would give me some names. I have recently discovered Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist. I am only speaking from my own limited experience. I still really enjoy Jon Batiste's verve and expression in playing the piano.
@@ArielVisionary Alma Deutscher, Zimmerman, Martha Argerich, Seong Jing Cho and the lis goes on and on. Langlang is a great pianist, but he deserves more of his fame for being a showman that other great pianist
@@everab1209 Glad you said that. Because although I admire Lang Lang's skill, watching him play doesn't make me happy. It does make me kind of jealous as he makes it even more obvious how far away I am from playing at a professional level. Love Seong Jin Cho
Love it! Wish I were still taking ballroom dance lessons and occasionally competing. I would love to try choreographing a Latin dance routine to this! It's got such a cool groove! Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
One of the things I like about Monsieur Jon Batiste’s musical performance is music 🎼 has a language of it own and it takes you to a different level and it ease you and it makes you feel super bien!
This is criminally low on views compared to the quality. Thankfully, I've found Batiste again through my love of Cory Wong or I'd probably never have see this.
Where’s the original video for this epic performance Jon? Hopefully you will bring it back…We felt it! We enjoyed it tremendously! And eager to hear it and see your Original performance again. Thank you!

You should listen to Ahmad Jamal's "I Love Music"
Well said and so very true
@colton2307 What is different about the way he sees it youbthink, I'm curious? And how could I see it that way? Did he write this?
Simply a GENIUS !!
Jon Batiste is a musical GENIUS!
Yes, he is truly gifted.
Nope. Not even close.
excelsior singular musical prodigy! Marlene Slotin
Yes i could listen until the world ends, you are so God gifted
I am so glad the talent and skill and work ethic was bestowed upon such a beautiful and gentle soul.
DAMN MY BROTHA!!!!!!!!! What an inspiration.
Sheesh. What more can I say he left me speechless.
Jesus this is fire
I feel and I am certain that Mr. Jon Batiste is sharing his love of/for humanity through his music. Thank You Sir!
Wow, the way he feels the other instruments and these sounds is brilliant!
If Nikolai Tesla was a pianist...this was beyond genius...the rapture of being caught in a musical dissertation and cyclone. Sheesh 🔥🔥🔥Bravo Sir
I think he is channeling a whole group of musical geniuses 😂🎉❤

Rachmaninov to Chopin the meditations, the all.....to infinity 💞
But keep playing them anyway! Jon would definitely want you to.
Goddamn Jon literally shredding it on the improvisation!
Holy god damn world, this is amazing!
Wow! We never know exactly where he's going with the next chord! I trust Jon is in the flow of a high power - not unlike JS Bach, though in a completely different musical realm. I'm happy to flow right along each step of the way.
Jon Batiste, you are the Gaucho leading the piano in a tango, on the argentinian pampas in the night. Thank You!
You are so right about Jon being a gaucho 🎉and when you hear him interviewed, his love for his family is so strong and overflowing with love and joy. He has a beautiful heart and soul 🙏🏻❤️
🎄❤️
CUALQUIERAAAAA
This isn’t music this is chemistry. I feel this and without any words I am full with this music
He is wonderful ❤
Jon's music never fails to put a smile on my face... thank you sir! This piece was magnificent start to finish.
I love this. I desperately want someone to choreograph a tango to this.
Jez D'ancer my thoughts exactly. Wouldn’t that be fantastic!!!
Just imagine that scene.. Ooof, as Tango originating from my homeland, I admit it would make one hell of a choreography under experienced dancers.

@@jezdancer4745 I see a tango in my head and feel it my ❤
What a talent.
Sir Batiste, please tango with me forever 😂❤🎉

Damn...just damn...
Love you all from here❤
Be who you are.
Speechless…makes my Soul smile
What a fantastic musician! God has blessed you with anointed hands. Great music!
Hot damn that progression at 2:40 tricked me into expecting like... eight different resolutions within 20 seconds. Jon, you damn tease!
Electrifying performance!
Jon knows he’s a beast.
His fingers are made for playing instruments and that is what he is doing and he is the BEST!!!!! My Lord!
I have listened to several great performances by Jon.
This time my mouth fell and stayed open for the whole song.
Magnificent is even too weak to capture the listening experience.
Mr. Batiste is amazingly talented. Just WOW!
Fantastic! This just blows me away. I consider Jon Batiste the best pianist of our times.

Jon is a genius... keep going!
Man what a Show Jon
MASTERFUL!🔥🎶
Bravo!!!!
He’s creating a new type of musical genre and it’s breath takingly beautiful to watch and listen
The genre of banging on keys like a monkey?
Lovely💕
Electrifying
Magic!!!
This stunning performance also reminds me of the piano battle scene in Tornatore's movie "The Legend of 1900."
Yes. Sounds like Jelly Roll Morton
Was Jon Batiste the best LFH guest ever?! I have dreams about a collaboration between him and Chris Thile!
This is criminally low on views compared to the quality. Thankfully, I've found Batiste again through my love of Cory Wong or I'd probably never have see this.
In answer to you question: YES! Here's a playlist headed up by this video, and every clip in the list is amazing. So much soul and talent out there!
The intro has a Jelly Roll Morton vibe :D
This is church!!!
That elbow smack was personal
Where’s the original video for this epic performance Jon? Hopefully you will bring it back…We felt it! We enjoyed it tremendously! And eager to hear it and see your Original performance again. Thank you!
Wow!👏👏👏
Holy crap!
So moving! Pure musical genius!❤
sick!
A God!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙏🏼

Sure wish the guy could play, though. :D He has quickly become my current favorite artist. Sent from heaven.
Please come to TORONTO!!!!
