Jon Batiste is a national treasure. And damn but he comes up with some nice surprises! And Caleb Teicher, completely new to me, is something major. Really fine all around!

Super Classy, 👏 Bravo 😍

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

This, with Teicher's OWN brilliant take, is similar to what the late Gregory Hines used to do: use his tap skills PERCUSSIVELY. As if his feet were an instrument..just sublime..

[@chikaan2890]

Very entertaining!

[@carrico504]

Ya you right

[@bobsmith-ov3kn]

The concept is cool but those taps are really lame after about 3 seconds of hearing them. I can see a piece that they actually work WELL in, but this isn't it

[@camd0407]

Agreed

[@lindseywarren44]
