This is a very powerful spiritual man, his interview feels like a sermon for the creatives waning in faith.

[@GRV_93]

He is the human form off jazz music, laid back cool and smooth.

[@totalbliss1]

It's in his soul.

[@joebroadbeef332]

Yep, like a real life Anthony Bua painting 🎨🎨🎨!!!

[@bestmanmusic]

Jon is a great guy & one of my former band mates. We all went to the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts school together & started Trombone Shorty’s original Band. Peace & Blessings brother!!

[@philstuf]

NOCCA!

[@Hollywoodhat]

Thrombone Shorty. One of my favorite parts on that vinyl! Props!

[@kathryntoronto8207]

Where are you?!!!!!

[@JoyfulMD]

Batiste is not a man, he is a walking spirit. ❤️

[@Rando_Commando]

Jon Is talented as hell

[@HH-gv8mx]

Love him! Love when he laughs over there in his corner on Colbert

[@shaunamaness854]

“If you don’t break the contract you have with yourself.” I need a transcript of this wisdom- his energy is truly light and love.

[@Trill104]

People like Batiste should be more common... He talks about the spirit of music, which is much forgotten due to monetization. You really have to look for it but the people who notice it have gifted ears.

[@aminamelancon5640]

Growing up in New Orleans is so special. We went to high school football games to hear the band, not watch the game! Super Sunday’s and second lines. So proud of Jon Baptiste!

[@Renee_nf094e]

High school football games in NOLA is a whole different vibe. I found that out when I moved to Cali.

[@mrsb609]

The Indians under the Claiborne bridge!

[@asalaboluwaduro]

[@adfmo2195]

I love that you guys interviewed Jon Batiste. I myself have a masters in music and love seeing a young black man coming out of Juilliard, having been classically trained, doing his thing. He is truly gifted.

[@crisleroi299]

He's such a humble dude...and so comfortable in his own skin. He's not trying to be something that he's not.

[@simbeam]

Usually I get bored on many guests but now I just listened because of Jon. Very nice guy indeed.

[@metaphangmc]

Very real statement. "Their minds dont have Genres they are just looking for experiences " that's powerful. Wish we as a people understood that when it comes to races too.

[@JigInsane]

Real talk

[@stregadisalem732]

I met him when The Stay Human Band was touring before he got the Colbert Report and I wish I hadn’t been in sweatpants, haha. He was very kind and gracious and genuine. Im so happy for his success.

[@JamesTWesson]

I find this dude very inspiring, makes me want to become a better musician

[@panamajin1]

John Batiste sharing too much knowledge and power on this platform. I wish they would appreciate him more.

[@tylerrelief]

This guy is so New Orleans

[@JasthePhilo]

tylerrelief very much!

[@engdrummer360]

This guy is brilliant. Have watched videos of him breaking down the history of music and how different genres influenced others throughout the years. Incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Great interview.

[@philstuf]

I love this man with all my heart. He just seems like a really great guy, who ALSO happens to have a ton of musical talent. Everything I hear from him is brilliant.

[@ericpaulgoldie]

Jon is a superstar, I love his chemistry with Stephen Colbert! Fantastic interview Breakfast Club!

[@AwesomeTrini]

dude is smart, and passionate of music and his craft. awesome

[@ericastreet6589]

Love that accent. He and SupaCent have me geeked when they talk. I enjoy him on Colbert. He and those adlibs have me dying sometimes! Great to hear a musician talk about the composition and arrangement of music, and how if affects culture, time, social norms. I really appreciate these interviews! Thank you!

[@gabnow0]

This guy is G! I followed his career and I definitely love The Colbert Report... I hope he keeps doing what he does because he's amazing on it and being a black man that grew up on Jazz himself and my father being a saxophone player I give thanks to individuals like himself that put themselves out there to really push forward for this generation of music for the 21st century of individuals that can learn something or two from him.

[@FionaChandoll]

He just won 5 Grammys.

[@jayblaine5628]

Jon's positivity x his friendly cool vibe is contagious.

[@lbandz5766]

Coolest dude outta New Orleans carries the whole jazz vibe wit em

[@faruquekhan4009]

could listen to this guy talk about music all day

[@alishajoh]

His laugh is EVERYTHING!

[@bridgettewilliams27]

This man is soulful and beautiful 😍

[@second2none07]

I hear that accent !! Louisiana love.

[@aishawilliams5933]

I love how he sees the positive in everything!! His spirit is refreshing.

[@LolaSunshine3535]

Much love to Jon! So talented and intelligent!

[@nolasoul71]

The Batiste family is fucking royalty in my city! Shout out to Treme' Square.

[@RealAnonymousse]

I was researching Jon online because I've been a huge fan of Colbert since the early days, I knew they had formed a strong bond and wanted to understand why. Found this interview. Jon really comes off as an incredibly smart and talented guy. Wish he had more airtime on the show.

[@honeychild1498]

Great interview. He is really an inspiration. I love New Orleans accents too!

[@cl20999]

This man is beyond talented.

[@Kelz0206]

This dude is mad kool!

[@oumardiallo7701]

that's smart

[@AskYaMommyBoutMeBoi]

[@buckshotlarue3844]

That's NOLA baby! Being from New Orleans, Jazz has always been a part of life for me. It's definitely not dead, it's just not commercially pushed/appreciated like other genres. Like he said a lot of Hip-Hop has been influenced by Jazz. For example: "Hypnotize" by Biggie is from a song called "Rise" by Herb Albert.

[@evelynwashere13]

I love Jon! I'm so happy he's getting the attention he deserves 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Lalaphive]

Bruh this man's jacket is the coldest shit I've seen in a while.

[@michellejones2427]

Yes

[@marctouss1862]

im sayin!... straight up X-Men uni... i needs one..

[@sweetvictory89]

I'm 28 from Chicago and I looove jazz. I love good music period but jazz is my love. I've been hearing a lot of "trap jazz" lately and I like. Duke, Coltrane, Mile Davis, Louis Armstrong, Thelonius Monk, Vandell Jones, etc

[@APisceanSlant]

"Trap Jazz"?!? Do you have any recommendations to check out that hybrid?

[@KRWatkins]

We are indeed a unique people! I've always loved music: Jazz, Classical, Hip-Hop, R&B. My favorite jazz musicians are: Dizzy, Louis, Coltrane, Davis.... Wow....this was a great interview!

[@nomibe2911]

Jazz is my favorite genre and Coltrane is my favorite Jazz musician.

[@lewalcindor9356]

[@El_Chuncho]

Great musician. Love his music.

[@glintrhmj]

This dude is gold man 👌🏽👍🏽

[@chimcham6762]

There is just something about a musician from New Orleans! I’ve never been but I am so attracted to the city for some odd reason!

[@thefrayfann]

jon looks great with longer hair

[@GoodMenstruationAttitude]

Batiste is the KING, preach on. Diversity = flexibility = freedom - and it applies to every part of the way you think, from music to math to politics.

[@kevinmichaelkelly1993]

amazing representative of New Orleans. great guy. awesome convo. super musician

[@Aoneify]

Been fan of Jon's for a long time, back when he and his band would be playing in front of Lincoln center on random evenings. I could listen to him talk and perform for hours. I'll be the first to see his musical!

[@honestbajan6877]

That hair​ is amazing!

[@luedch8460]

Jon you need to go to Brazil, especially Salvador in Bahia. Work with Carlinhos Brown , one of our best musician! Music is in the air in my lovely city .

[@MarcusAlanWard]

Damn I think this is the first time I’ve seen an actual musician on the breakfast club

[@MarcusAlanWard]

[@shanaleah6757]

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!

[@kharyrobertson3579]

Alright, here is my mea culpa. I used to call Jon, discount Kevin Eubanks, before I knew who he was or witnessed his talent. I was wrong, this brother is a great musician and example of success. My bad for the disrespect.

[@kingrisen1454]

Cool and talented black man.Respect to him.

[@lazorisbriggs3468]

Luv this guy He’s like a blast from the past

[@marceloorellana5726]

It's amazing how these people have no idea who the Baptiste family are and that New Orleans is such a center of music. Especially Jazz. ⚜️

[@1969madame]

[@saleemahshakir7874]

Super talented Jon Batiste! The entire album is fantastic! Your performance on The Late Show was very moving and poetic.

[@totalbliss1]

Awesome interview. Very inspirational and educational. Much respect to this man.

[@ExistNNature]

This was a great interview. I love Jazz, it helps to focus and create. I truly understand what he means by seeing images. All of my art is based on images and ideas planted in my head.

[@jasonjohnson4803]

Dope Jacket, great personality and amazing talent.

[@daniellemoxey9940]

This man is brilliant..grew up in a musical family and although I don't currently play I'm still a creative as a dancer and recognize the power music has on the psyche of the ppl.

[@carlosandmuriel]

This brother's Christmas album....it is what got through the holiday season.

[@vc8143]

Brilliant young man. Represent! Black Excellence! Teach 'em!

[@slamminsammy941]

Jon , I know you will go down in history as one of the best musicians ever , Stephen Colbert is just a starting gig , hearing you talk is addictive . I’m not a musician but my family is full of musicians and music teachers and music majors , I am only good at science and didn’t feel natural in music it was hard for me always but I have a passion for music because music makes me feel good by listening to different genres based on how I feel and I love it , I’ll be one of the guys buying a ticket to one of ur shows in the future , love u and ur craft bro !!!

[@celestialdragon3989]

Luv Jon Batiste! His band & him are great plus great pairing w/ Colbert 🤨!

[@adamjohnson5307]

I liked him from the Colbert's show from what little I knew about him, but after watching this, this dude is cool as hell.

[@londonbassed5767]

Dope interview. love the variety of guests

[@JacieWorld]

His jacket is fireeeee

[@antoniothompson5514]

What a great man and what a great interview!

[@kc1hotboy]

13:36 facts. I use music all the time to uplift me. To deal with depression or anxiety

[@G11713]

In regards to blacks playing country music...the banjo is an African instrument. Also, apparently, the rodeo was started by a black man. Not saying that white men have not contributed to these things but we do live in an historical narrative that suppresses valuable contributions of non white male. For instance, as dramatized by the movie, Hidden Figures.

[@yudahel8521]

G11713 The banjo is not from africa

[@robinvolpi]

@@yudahel8521 It absolutely is.

[@yudahel8521]

robin volpi It's definitely not

[@bl00dhoney]

@@yudahel8521 it certainly is.

[@apster2645]

@@yudahel8521 yeah bad news the banjo is from africa.

[@kc1hotboy]

14:38 I knew I was gonna like this interview. This dude very underrated

[@christenford3864]

This man is a genius. I love what he does on the Late show! He and Stephen play off each other well.
