Louis Cato’s vocals are off the chart! Why oh why have we not heard him sing until now?

[@TiagoLageira]

Check his tiny desk concert!

[@toobyoolaar]

we have (but not enough)... look for the xmas tune they posted...

[@edwardmeradith2419]

Eggcellent vocals !

[@seongomez4903]

Because he was backing up J Baptise. Ha. But yeh I've known about Louis for years. He's an incredible musician. Bass, Drums (Uber Jam with Scofield), Guitar!!

[@jonmilizia7175]

mostly because louis is a drummer, that is how he met John

[@jakobullmann7586]

Haven’t been watching this show for some time… but I knew Louis Cato as a drummer for John Scofield and Marcus Miller. I had no idea he could sing and play guitar, nor that he had taken over as the band leader for the Late Show.

[@MemphiStig]

Wow! Lot a talent on that stage. Good to hear them cut loose with such a legend. Outstanding jam!

[@halcop]

Louis Cato and John Scofield just made my day.🔥🔥

[@rytchbytchrockingclub3867]

INSANE!!! 🤩

[@sandytrunks]

I am Absolutely gobsmacked by what I just saw and heard! PLEASE "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" PLEASE post more of these "Commercial Breakdowns" in the future. 🙏🏼

[@kimmywatts5459]

Agree 💯 That was fantastic!

[@madwoman8297]

I'm also pretty gobsmacked 😂. Got me dancing round the bathroom 😅

[@LincolnWorld]

That man can sing!

[@vivalapita8484]

Please put more of this up on the channel!

[@ivanmay7890]

That was great to see Louis Cato and John Scofield perform together, they are both great guitarists!

[@terrychancellor4593]

WOW!!!!!!!! MORE PLEASE!!!

[@BobMacNeal]

'Sco is my fav jazz guitarist and I dig this funked up cover of a classic Humble Pie rock tune. Soulfully smooth vocals by Louis Cato to boot. The call and response solos by Cato and 'Sco is icing on a delicious cake.

[@MrDevins]

That was pretty damn great

[@charlielauffer7644]

About goddam time! Tightest band in the United States and y'all been bogarting them for Christ sake!

[@jakehendriksen2841]

This was phenomenal. Can you imagine going back to taping the show and not basking a little longer in the music that had just taken place? Stephen Colbert must have great taste, because from the beginning, his show has low-key fostered some of the best funk and jazz musicians of the day.

[@steveklein8283]

This was so good.....I had no idea this could happen during the ads on the late show....Steve

[@koshomannheim]

Just wonderful, made my day!

[@TheAndrewsAve]

Top 5 best soloists of all time in my opinion. Sooo much melody and feel good lord

[@bananablood2031]

tight as hell, holy mother!!!! absolute banger

[@DryHeart23]

Legendary!

[@michaelmadcat]

Holy shit! This is amazing!

[@fredabery3816]

Very excellent. What a great band, and of course, Mr Scofield, a legend.

[@foreststewart1968]

Killing! Don't need no doctor! That's one hell of a funky groove! This just might have kept Stephen out of the hospital if he'd heard this tune a few months ago! Stay healthy, all!

[@lanszoominternet]

Loius once upon a time played drums in John’s Uberjam band. Fantastic chemistry on the guitars!

[@musik0033]

More Band 🎉

[@MatthewHughes1988]

more of these, please :)

[@treysmythstunes]

🎼🎵🎶❤‍🔥SUPERSTHANK y'all,, Louis, band & Mr. Sco; you said it: 'EXACTLY!' Peace - even in NYC - with these cats in yer scene! 🫵😹😺😸💖😇

[@techcommander661]

Louis and John need to get themselves to a recording studio and cut an album together!

[@xebio6]

Louis has played drums for Scofield both in studio albums and in tours, when drums were his main instrument. He can do anything, what a musician

[@timbacchus]

You need to add this each night Please Please.

[@FrankSpeer66]

This is 10x better than anything that was on The Grammys!!

[@Hoick]

MORE!!!

[@jkaznosky]

Sco just gets cooler as he gets older. His groove is impeccable. The trading was the shit.

[@MichaelBasile-zl5rw]

Love this arrangement - taken from Scofield's That's What I Say album with John Mayer on gtr and vocals and the great Steve Jordan on drums! Scofield and Late Show band killed it. Thank you for posting.

[@subbbass]

John Scofield is the one and only guitarplayer i could listen to for years without a break. What a legend!

[@charlesmiller000]

WOW, Boogie Down ! May we have more ?

[@jamesyoungquist6923]

Bravo! Amazing!

[@chrismarquardt]

So satisfying!

[@matthewkelso3280]

Very clean

[@djonakachopper]

Top shelf stuff 😉

[@BhaktaKali]

Nice! More of this please. Include a band cut from every show. If it's a Cato original, even better. Love it!

[@chefsize]

🔥🔥🔥

[@IanPhilmore]

That was pretty cool.

[@shaunlovett1565]

Badass

[@pageyjjj]

This is the best thing Steven's had anything to do with since "The Colbert Report".

[@bromasi]

YES

[@switchmuso]

This should be a regular feature, it will do very well on YT.

[@randyleasmanii4928]

Meanwhile... 🙌🔥🎶

[@chrisbell9593]

Well g’damn

[@damonhines8187]

Cool af 😎 👌🏼

[@meganshadley7308]

WOW!! Were those guitar solos improvised I wonder?

[@HendryWong324]

OMG!

[@oposkainaxei]

G--ROOVY! ❤

[@StacyInLove1]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@gyrojinn]

Now this is how you sell tickets to the Late Show. Get on it, please.

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

Awesome. But I still love the ORIGINAL Marriott/Frampton version best! Don't know it?? GOOGLE, you might learn something really cool 😂.

[@sliob]

Excellently far out, IMO!

[@Dogsrule777]

He’s a legend, I bought his record: “I can see your house from here” years ago and was hooked immediately. Checkout his recent work with Scarypockets / Scarygoldings. It’s amazing! Thx Colbert show.

[@JamesVandevanter]

😂wow me agin ? This is ...........🎸🎶🎵🐬👌🙃🔆🤣🔅🔅🔅🔅

[@nedisings]

!!!!!

[@NAMASTEBEAR-lu6vq]

HeyNow

[@ivandukemusic]

I wish they would air this instead of the commercials

[@pageljazz]

No, it's far more important that we know what brand of toilet paper to buy! 😂

[@wideawake5630]

Are you too young to be paying bills or what?

[@crystalshaw8744]

​@@pageljazzOr pizza.

[@mariemelansongundy-vx4ox]

I have been that for years! Give it as an option. No commercial/ band music override. It's 21st century technology people! Come 0n!

[@Ch-ui6mw]

Well, the bills gotta be paid, but how awesome is it that they've posted this GREAT non-commercial break on KZbin?!?! Now I wish they would ALWAYS post ALL of these on KZbin each episode!

[@venusvirgofly]

Thank you, John Scofield. Amazing as always. Thanks for taking the muzzle off Louis Cato and let us soak in his brilliance!!

[@michaelfoxbrass]

I met John Scofield on the sidewalk outside The Blue Note in NYC many years ago. My buddy who’d recently played with him introduced me to him as a “former pro” trumpet player. John kindly and genuinely inquired why I’d given up the horn, (which I hadn’t, only making a living on it!). Though he could have (certainly most would!) just blown by my pedestrian/uninteresting history, he paused to ask. Now whenever I hear him play anything recorded before or after that brief encounter, it’s with different and more appreciative ears.

[@Baatid]

If I could speak as well as John Scofield plays guitar….the phrasing on that guy is beyond anything.

[@feralsanders]

MORE Scofield, PLEASE~~~~~❤❤❤❤❤

[@nightnoodler812]

That guitar duet was awsome, brought a huge smile to me face, thank you.

[@jackiec859]

This is smokin'! Louis...damn! John...damn. The whole band...damn.

[@masu_masu]

Exactly this!!! YES!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pageljazz]

Scofield is phenomenal. One of my very guitarists.

[@pendragon6207]

He's definitely a very very guitarist, no doubt about that.

[@pageljazz]

@@pendragon6207 He's the most guitarest guitarist.

[@the_guitar_generation]

Love that you had SCOFIELD on the show!!!

[@allenrodgers1577]

Hell yeah! Thank you for posting! I was asking for this.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Fantastic how Cato’s playing works so well with Scofield. Yo, Colbert!!! We need more of this depth in the music and in your interview subjects. Please continue with your amazing ability to bring depth and silliness to your program. Cheers.

[@ivandukemusic]

Thanks posting…. Sounds Great!!

[@AhmetKizilay0]

Cato and Scofield trading solos was incredible! I wish I was there to experience it in person

[@noahtenshen]

Now THAT was Necessary! No reason to keep that a secret for the in house audience only.

[@astrogallotron]

Yeah Scofield rules. Please bring Medeski Martin and Wood one day for a super duper funky jazz jam!

[@terrysmith470]

More of this! LOVE IT!

[@garydare2238]

What a great funky take! I only know this song from Humble Pie's "Live at the Fillmore" hard rockin' version with Steve Marriott (sp?) on vocals and Peter Frampton on guitar (pre-solo) but there's a classic original that I'm going to dig up pronto! Thanks to Louis, the band and John Scofield!

[@narvul]

Jon Scofield recorded this version of a Ray Charles original (written by Jo Armstead, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson) with John Mayer on guitar and vocals.

[@PaulvanEgmond]

There’s also a John Mayer Trio recording of this song, if you crave it with a bit of Stevie Ray Vaughan flavor

[@tlister67]

On top of what others have replied, there is a whole album of Ray Charles tunes “That’s What I Say”. Very accessible album with other stars on it. Sco is unlike anyone else of guitar.

[@happygster922]

The John Mayer live in LA version is a must listen.

[@seamusmcfreak]

Soooooo goooooood! John is legend!

[@justsaying14]

Yeah, John Legend!

[@teagueskye0959]

Oh I wish you guys ALWAYS let us share in this joy!

[@merlapittman5034]

Fantastic! I wanna hear lots more commercial breakdowns!

[@marciabentley9557]

I'm sitting in a restaurant listening and it's all I can do not to break into applause. ❤😊🎶😊❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@SomeRandomDude2020]

Most excellent.

[@joannmay-anthony1076]

I loved Scofield when he was with Dr. John and now too of course!!!!!

[@Chris.Wiley.]

This is just AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@ateamfan42]

Still THE best band in late night! Why has the band not released an album? Or several?

[@pvthitch]

A+

[@mettamoose5074]

Oh. My. Gawd. Louis Cato, guitarist/singer/bandleader extraordinaire?! What I can't believe is that nobody in the comments section yet realizes what a blisteringly good drummer he is as well - everyone please check out old YT footage of him KILLING the drums in Scofield's Uberjam band as well as with bass god Marcus Miller (also when he had long hair :). What an amazing overall talent he is!!

[@bassofone1]

I dig late night shows, But! There's TOO many photos of Trump! I can't see that many minutes of his horribleness! And I'm always wanting to hear what the band has to offer. THIS is what I want, talent/ creativity/ artistry, at the end of the day!

[@blessingsoutlaw]

Uhhhh…my prescription was just filled.

[@GDletterwriter]

Hot dang!

[@rockdfunk]

what a treat

[@BizLurns]

Such a favorite, haven't seen him play in years. THANK YOU!!!

[@bassofone1]

MORE commercial breakdowns , please!!!!!

[@macschomo]

Mein Held. I love Scofield,

[@kturn5953]

Scofield is one of the most influential and greatest musicians! I can never get enough of his tone and choices :)

[@JustinShepardMusic]

Sure would be nice if Louis could adopt Scofield into the Late Show band! Always happy to hear folks so beautifully trading 8s!

[@mcfahk]

Yes, more of this please!

[@joejoe3011]

Dadgum, that's good stuff! I listened to my dad's "Blue Matter" record when I was a teenager and have been a Scofield fan ever since

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

C'mon Colbert! If you could put the 10 minutes flute ambient song of Andre 3000, how can you not manage a spot to feature a musical number by one of the living legends of music in John Scofield?

[@malcolmarmstrong3957]

And Scofield isnt playing. He's channeling it 😊t😊h😊rough his goatee.

[@leelarson1952]

Great arrangement, masterfully performed.
