Thank God you gave yourself a chance ❤

40:00 she has a video out called how to write a song and this was what i was expecting from that and that was not at all what the video was but both go hand and hand

33:00 talking about all his fans came in at different times so he's never actually sure what songs people know - absolutely. He's one of those you go back to at various points of life and you start listening to in 2010 and then you're like wait a second I never heard his early stuff and you go back and listen to albums instead of just hitting shuffle. I cant think of many artists where I'm actually interested in hearing their old stuff, and i feel like that speaks to the low effort that pop artists put in to their singles now and releasing single after single so there's no point in scrolling down to see what their albums were. Ben also started off with great releases that sound much different from now but there's consistency in the complexity in his early albums and his later ones. And dodie has the same conplexity. So I figure Ben Folds and Dodie fans are a lot different from Radiohead fans. You know?

I don't care what Ben thinks, Jon has disipline and he can do a song the same way twice, he's just being his self and knows how to come outside of the box, that's what today's musicians do, that's why we're so intimidated, do you Ben, leave Jon alone.

"what's the form that I take when I'm not trying to appeal to anybody" - that's the real crux of the matter! If even Jacob hasn't figured it out given his scope of abilities, what chance do I have lmao

Wow I learned a lot!! And I learned which point my musician husband is stuck at- the event! He has all these ideas. All these songs he’s composed and even many recorded. It’s time for THE EVENT!! Thank YOU

Yes it's the truth that I speak and karma is real .amen

I learned so much! Big thank you.

The ending song is a jam, lol. Love it!

this is pure gold. I’ll have to watch this at least another 10 times this month! Ben and George, two of the greatest visionaries around. I have to show this to all my students! That is the real thing! That’s why we watch youtube. Please, Ben, go on with those chats. Bring back George, I could listen to your conversations for days! I met George on many occasions in the past 25 years. Such a great human being! George, Al, Elliot and Bruce Swedien were my teachers, listening to their art for decades, reading every book and interview out here, and finally getting to know them personally was the greatest honour in my life.

Always Worth a listen Song or interview Thanks guys Warm notes, on a rude cold breeze?

I love this Guy... Jon Batiste, he seems very real.

I get goosebumps each and every time I have the opportunity to listen to him. He is a class act!! Sent from Winnipeg, MB Canada at 12:20 p.m.

What an interview!! Josh is an absolutely phenomenal entertainer. Sending this at 12 noon Winnipeg, MB Canada

Technique is over valued when creativity shows the path to braking the rules as an eye opener. Jon is light when he shows that dancing is not something you learn, its something that happens when you listen deeper. A voice or an instrument can be the same as a camera or a white sheet of paper that are only different because of the technique. Technique is necessary to go from an idea to an action we can hear, see or feel. Thanks for all you show with so much soul under your skin.

Funny as all Get Out.

entry into orbit. yeah man.

49:33 51:00 note to self

Donald J Trump is my dear friend!

just found this interview and found Ben quite condescending lol why assume dodie isn't skilled enough to do orchestration? for her work? " you need someone who knows what they're doing" ummmmmmm okkkkk

Absolutely a gorgeous man

Peter Frampton is the best ever. Absolutely gorgeous

Fabulous conversation.

He and Celine are always singing and I absolutely love them for it.

Emily’s energy is so infectious. The surreal part is she is born on the exact day as me. We are only a year apart. Both in the entertainment sector as well. Mad

When music geniuses combine

You’re a doll Joshi ! I really care about you, and your artistic talent 😮. I m in awe of you and your style of music. Roll the dice

This should be viral. Why is it not.

pure genius, bursting like soda bubbles

Amazing interview as I also am an Audio Engineer who has now gotten deep into video production. Thank you I had to google Acutance. #LearnSomethingNewEveryday

Not a lot of people understand these guys talking about music but if you do it’s AWESOME

Don't you just love Jon?

Great, great, great episode! I don't understand how these don't have a million views. They're a freakin' gift!

Holy crap dude!!!! How did I miss this 2 years ago?!

This was amazing! SO loved it!

Knowing I WILL spend eternity with Jon but Im pretty sure I will not be spending eternity with Ben makes me really sad because Jesus created both and loves both They are BOTH Jazz though one is positive energy and the other is negative sarcastic usually (not w The Luckiest but certainly w Brick a pro abortion song I hope Jon would be adamantly opposed to murder but then again the reason he is famous is Colbert a Catholic who clearly is OK with murder of the innocent so who knows?) I love both these artists I love Bill Maher and I disagree with him on very important issues I love that these guys are friends this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! 2 of my top 20 fav artists of all time up there w Phish Zeppelin Marley The Beatles Queen Fiona Apple DMB Pink Floyd Billy Joel Whitney Houston Tool Metallica 2Pac NAS Jay-Z Chopin Stevie Wonder The Who Genesis MJ Marvin Gaye RHCP The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds is the best album ever made but I dislike almost all their other beach stuff) Ben Folds Five Jimmy Hendrix Chuck Berry Radiohead U2 Keane Coldplay (NOT The Rolling Stones sorry only Exile on Main Street is epic) I love BUSY people They are type A the opposite of The Sloth Lazy me and I am attracted to my opposite like my wife Mandy who is called Speedy or Mouse (she is short skinny and fast) at work as a nurse MLK singing A Mighty Fortress is our God had weight to it because it was written while constipated on the toilet ...plus he only believed in God as POWER WRATH and WILL when what Jesus really was was Humble ...he was Love and he gave us Free Will as a gift so almost the opposite in many ways Fatalism is a lie but the 66 compiled bookS plural is NOT.....the bible is the word of God because Jesus is that word not just the red letters but all the other books not just the Paulian letters Jon can actually GROOVE Mike Gordon (in my favorite band of all time) and Flea in RHCP one of my top 100 bands of all time and I hate to admit it but even Bela Fleck and the Flecktones TONES....the BASS in those songs is because of Dave Matthews favorite Bassist of all time Victor Wooten and he may be 2nd or 3rd but Jaco is the greatest I hate to admit that Dave is wrong because Dave has the best living drummer in Carter Beauford (no not Jon Fishman but he is UP THERE) and Stefan Lessard leaves all kinds of music to be desired for me personally even in the Crush anthem he "sorta" Crushes Im left handed too the 9% black sheep but most intelligent people on earth GO BEN I notice that the best musicians have big hands and long skinny fingers like Jon Batiste and Trey Anastasio ...it makes it easier for them slightly in the DNA itself

My great grandma lived in Ottawa, KS. She was friends with Stanley Sheldon's mom!! Stanley teaches music in KS. Used to tour with Frampton. Small world! Enjoyed this interview. I'll share this with my Mom❤

How long will I love this man? A million Rude Breezes.❤

wish interviewers would stop interjecting with "yeah" "uhuh" "right" "ahhh". Just let the guest finish their thought.

Here's an example of creating within certain parameters: the song, F.E.A.R. by Ian Brown. Each verse forms the acrostic F.E.A.R.

Wow, great show

said it before: You got me believe in musicmaking against the ableton template loop beatmaking generation again ;-)

Why all that stuff ?........... Well honestly its greed😅

I am so glad I found this. Just the medicine I needed! Sang it to myself throughout the day. So catchy and feel-good! Insightful and inspiring interview too.

How bout this system 1st octave normal C toC 2nd octave 1/4 step higher C to C next octave 1/8step and so on ? Add alot more keys gradually getting smaller and smaller intervals after 3or 4 whole tone octaves then what partial intervals would have greatest relationships?

Jacob, I hear a lot of jazz guys talk about hitting chord tones and having target notes and to me that makes no sense. If I'm in a jazz combo, the rhythm section is covering the root, third, etc. so why would I want to bore everyone by doubling up those notes? Nice show.
