The wonderful thing about watching Jon Batiste play is the immense joy he has in the music and for the music. It's a joy so intense it literally leaps off the screen and into the hearts of the listeners, which most definitely includes me. Just hearing him is great, but watching him takes you to whole new and better place.
I completely agree. Watching a great musician playing and having fun is the best medicine! This was a great performance and such fun to watch. Thank you Jon and Nathaniel!
If you look up the term "gentleman & scholar" in the dictionary you should find an entire page devoted to Jon Batiste. He is the literal personification of the term.
Literal goosebumps and I do not know why. Maybe it's the thought of two people sitting right next to each other. Maybe it's the hope to someday be able to do so again. Goosebumps. You go Jon.
This reminded me about a John Lennon quote. "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end", True that. This tiny concert reminds me that you Americans can be damned fine people when you get together and making best instead of worst of things. It is hard to remember at times because all of us in the world receive hate-mail by twitter from the Oval Office every single day.
sealyoness I couldn’t agree more!! He just seems like he has so much love in his heart! I also wish I had the long piano fingers!! Piano lessons as a child we’re very frustrating, and I knew it wasn’t for me.. :( so I went on to play the violin, the viola and cello.. Then later found playing Rock Band with my children on x-box was amazing!!! Lol haha! I was the cool mom then! 😂 oh my!
Every time he comes on I am reminded how much I miss hearing Jon Batiste play, or just interact with Stephen in general. I always love when he stops in. GREAT cover, we love you Jon!
It is incredible how Jon's spirit touches mine. Whether he speaks, plays or sings. Every time. Bless you, Jon, for the gentle love you bring to the world.
I JUST LOVE JOHN BATTISTE!!! Yes, I yelled that. Not only could I listen to his music all day long, but I could easily just listen to his calm, gentle, loving voice for just as long!🥰
Jon and Nathaniel are two brothers whose bodies and souls are pure music magic. At this time in my life and I have lived a good and long one I'm in desperate need to figure out what to do with it, this song was so profound for me and the time we're all living in. Stay in and stay well!
Under our present circumstances, this performance was such a treat! 😊 It is sung and performed with so much hopefulness... 🍀❤️ My family and I will have to “call on the two of you” by watching and listening to this whenever the day brings us down...💕Thank you, Jon Batiste and Nathaniel Rateliffe.
Excellent. J Batiste is so musical it reaches my soul. The "blackbird" cover makes me cry almost every time..yes i dont cry for much else...but music gets me. Btw anyone feelin me who hasnt seen shows like "lovecraft country" or the amazing "godfather of harlem" check them out now for some heartwarming soul and blues.
Have to tell you that this brought back memories of having sung lead with a few fine bands in my "misspent" (not really) youth, and I sand out along with these gents to a volume that brought my puppy into the room, where he sat and tipped his head. Good job!!! and thank you.
It's a true challenge to watch Jon Batiste play and try to avoid smiling while watching him enjoy what he does. Not only he is incredibly talented and great at what he does, he also loves doing it. And it shows.
KBCS played "Tonight #2" by Nathaniel Rateliff yesterday.. I had to shazam it - sounded damn good. Yes, I shazam while driving - MOAR JB live with guests PLOEASE
That was a magnificent collaboration. Music always seems to have been a divider. RAP, country, Soul, Pop, ... - and here are two artists from very different genres showing us that the opposite ist true. Music becomes better when it unites. Thank You guys.
Batiste is one of our contemporary greats.
So is Rateliff. They both deserve much more attention. Absolutely brilliant, class acts.
Nathaniel is not too bad either! Saw him live with Mumford and Sons! Great show!
Amen
Oh, wow. That piano was a _natural extension_ of Jon.
It is! He's a full blown natural!!
The wonderful thing about watching Jon Batiste play is the immense joy he has in the music and for the music.

Kevin Dolin feel just the same. Couldn’t have said it better.
Yees
If you look up the term "gentleman & scholar" in the dictionary you should find an entire page devoted to Jon Batiste. He is the literal personification of the term.
His friendliness and his wit and overall feeling Jon gives you 1000% fits the bill. He'll probably be a definition in a dictionary soon.
Jon Batiste! More of this please! ❤️
👍🏼#Absolutey agree! The thing is, Jon #MASTERS every genre
(2) Gr8 talents!
🎸🎹💞🥰👏🏼🕺💃🏽 #ThanksStephen 🤗👍🏼👍🏾
Jon Batiste is a true musical genius. He embodies musicianship. Rock on Jon!
Damn now we're gonna need a full collaboration album with these guys
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFY !!!!
Nathaniel Rateliff is one of my all time favorites, pairing him with Jon Batiste is pure gold! Two supreme talents!
A refreshing example of the healing power of music.
The Jimi Hendrix of piano - Jon Batiste
Goosebumps, it feels like Jon and Nathaniel are channeling the master of time and space Leon Russell
You're right!. I felt the mad dogs and englishmen bouncing in my head too.
Oh YESSSS!!! Exactly what
I was thinking :: he bounced those keys like sweet, soulful, magical Leon. High praise indeed for this young blood.
Like Leon used to say play it high right handed so they hear you.😎
Literal goosebumps and I do not know why. Maybe it's the thought of two people sitting right next to each other. Maybe it's the hope to someday be able to do so again.
Goosebumps. You go Jon.

The great thing is; thats true everywhere.
Right on! What country are you in?
Oh it says Canada...
Not just the WH, but all of Congress as it is now, with few exceptions are all trying to screw us.
When they were finished i didnt even notice i had a smile from ear to ear. 💜
I am such a huge fan of Jon! His fingers are absolute magic!! He and Nathanial sounded amazing together!! 😍😍🤩🤩
Yup. Wish I had his long fingers(for piano playing!) and great commitment. I suspect he's a lovely sweet man as well as fab musician.
sealyoness I couldn’t agree more!! He just seems like he has so much love in his heart! I also wish I had the long piano fingers!! Piano lessons as a child we’re very frustrating, and I knew it wasn’t for me..

Their voices are so complementary. 🤘😎👍🎵 FANVTASTIV!
I loooove Jon, especially in this register.
Where y'at, baby? ❤❤❤
Every time he comes on I am reminded how much I miss hearing Jon Batiste play, or just interact with Stephen in general. I always love when he stops in. GREAT cover, we love you Jon!
Here’s what I’d Love to hear now: John Baptise playing “you’ll never walk alone!” So relevant!
43shoemaker: What about "people who need people are the luckiest people in the world"?
Yes!!!
Whenever I hear Jon Batiste, I hear authenticity.
I want to live my life the way Jon Batiste plays the piano.
You win The Internets today Jane Hardy, owing to that lovely, lovely sentiment.
FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC. LOVE YA JOHN
Stephen we need More ! So we can laugh at you then dance and grove to Jon !! 😀
just wanna say, batiste has an amazing singing voice
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
This is one of my (many) favorites from the Blues Brothers movie.
@Jane Elliot, Jr. It doesn't matter who wrote it first, Old Thing, it's still one of my favorite songs from the Blues Brothers movie.
It is incredible how Jon's spirit touches mine. Whether he speaks, plays or sings. Every time. Bless you, Jon, for the gentle love you bring to the world.
Amen! Thank you, Jon and God bless you!
This along with “I’m From Kenner” (with the lyrics he has the audience sing), are apart of my morning ritual right now.
I had that on loop about six times!
Genius J. B. Love his music!!!
I love watching Jon Batiste!!
What magic.. their voices blended.. wonderful !
Love your sound, Jon Batiste!
Thank you Amazing Musician Gentelmen, and also for bringing the Soulful Jamming Spirit
The perfect duo we never knew we needed 😍😍😍
It's so wonderful to get more than a few bars from this amazing musician. The way he plays is pure magic.
Both super talented
Here's the best of us for the rest of us! Beautiful and spine tingling
Today is going to be a good day. ☺️
I JUST LOVE JOHN BATTISTE!!! Yes, I yelled that. Not only could I listen to his music all day long, but I could easily just listen to his calm, gentle, loving voice for just as long!🥰
