My favorite musician right now. Not only in his abilities but his positivity and passion. Original music and composition are so rare today, it makes his music so refreshing

[@jimmygillard]

I love how enthusiastic and positive he is too!

[@Alice-fr1ef]

I am so happy to have this album. I love it and it's so inspiring. Jon Batiste is one of the Greats.

[@trentpmcd]

Wow, what a talent! It is impossible to hear him speak, whether with his mouth or fingers, and not smile, and almost as hard to not have a tear in the eye at least once in this video...

[@bluemoondragon]

Jon is truly a genius. He is so amazing so gentle and kind. Really enjoyed this interview. This is what we all need ❤ We need beautiful music and beautiful souls 💖💖

[@versluyssander]

How can you not love this man. Pure of heart, amazing musician, I really hope to see him live some day!

[@robsonclark9678]

He has a website I got on for early ticket access when he came to Minneapolis, MN. I got tickets for $50 excited to see him, couldnt convonce any of my young friends to go with me... but got my mom and her friend instead. Then show sold out, then tickets were being resold for $200-300, I thought it was nuts hah. It was a very fun show, all the old whitepeople had a gard time getting to full dance mode, but still a very excited, happy mood :).

This is one divine human. I can't get enough

[@billhasty5197]

I just have to chuckle every time I see Jon with that big smile and always having fun. Love it.

[@Alice-fr1ef]

Jon Batiste teaches one to feel the music and let it get inside you so that you extend it as far as possible. Let your music do your talking and define you. Thank you, Jon Batiste, for making the magic happen. You make me want to practice more and more.

[@silas_wong]

my fav moment is when Jon harmonizes with Lisa's singing at 17:38 with a wistful chord. this must have been a beast of a video to edit since Jon is constantly playing in every moment between talking! haha

[@PianoteOfficial]

Thank you- I was on a cloud in that moment for sure. It was such a wonderful experience -Lisa

[@katb.6132]

He is such a beautiful soul and watching him channel it through his fingers is a rare treasure indeed. ❤

[@PianoteOfficial]

Jon is one of a kind!

[@DannyDep17]

I must admit.... I've heard the name..... and now I know why.... When you feel the energy from the beyond.... "bestowed upon you from the Divine....", you begin to find yourself..... now if you'll excuse me... I'm going to listen to some other celestial yearnings coming from this beautiful soul.... You are definitely blessed, Jon Batiste. Happy journeys everyone. 😊🌹❤🙏😇☺😘🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jon Batiste and Derek Trucks both make me smile and cry nearly every time I hear them play. I would love to see them play together. They both feel like they’re speaking/communicating through their instruments instead of just playing the “right” notes at the right time. Much love to you guys for sharing this conversation

[@bierbrauer11]

Absolutely masterful! There are people (Yuja Wang) who can really play classics, and there are people who can redefine and invent new classics

[@brandonbrame1171]

All you can say is wow!

[@robsonclark9678]

So happy a second Pianote vid with Jon Batiste was made were he got to have a longer talk with Lisa! This was beautiful :).

[@PianoteOfficial]

This is Jon’s 4th video on our channel!

[@suomi35]

I was grinning the entire 20mins. Jon is love

[@Tdot21]

19:59 feels like Christmas 🎄.

[@saxmangeoff]

A masterclass in artistic expression, not just piano!

[@alyssagriffin5781]

My husband has worked with his father. The music is all through the family. Their house in New Orleans is always singing. Jon and Troy were always jamming. My husband wishes he spent more time just enjoying the beginnings of legends.

[@j_e_hill]

The Piano Guys said that classical music WAS rock and roll of their day… Jon shows exactly how true that is. These kinds of videos are so fun to see.

[@silas_wong]

my fav moment is at 17:38 when Jon harmonizes Lisa's melody with a wistful chord. this must have been a beast to edit as Jon is constantly playing :) :)

[@silas_wong]

when Lisa's trying not to cry from the harmonic and tonal beauty.

[@josephbrian455]

17:30 Chills.

[@Jazzryskee]

So true. Jon is right on.

[@Caliber24]

[@SleepyFoC]

Absolute genius. ❤

[@Learn_Listen_Love]

❤️ this man

[@N8CRE8]

Hard 🖤

[@allegro_manontroppo]

Impressive.

[@MichaelRighi]

I’d like to think Jon has all conversations at a piano. Doing taxes with the accountant? He’s improvising a piece about deductions. In the ER with a burst appendix? He’s describing his pain on the melodica. Etc.

[@dariolombardo84]

Yin - yang ☯

[@timlopez7631]

6:05 idk why my eyes started tearing up wtf what's going on 😭

[@PianoteOfficial]

Pass the tissues when you're done!

[@mamieacrie2324]

[@PianoteOfficial]

Jon is playing a Yamaha in this video.

[@GooLeGooster]

[@JohnSiongok]

[@StompL7]

pianote x hans groiner ?!

[@lo2498]

But can Jon Batiste play Liszt ? 🤔

[@MaxIsbell]

Wow. Just, wow. He's talking about God.

[@anonymusum]

Batiste may fool non-musicians, but real musicians don´t fall for his showmanship.
