Jon Batiste - FREEDOM - Live at Grammys 2022

This is a blast of joy and positivity! I love this man. Dancing with Billie Eilish wearing her Taylor Hawkins t-shirt is an unforgettable Grammy moment for me.

I was so glad to finally see this performance - Jon is someone to be celebrated! What a gifted artist and human being.

[@ellenmurphy2150]

Hi you can now watch his entire performance the way it was shown at the Grammys. I like this video too as it shows the camera people. All that energy!

[@7MoonSonoma]

I love him and he’s fully tuned in! 💕☮️😅

[@asapdammoh8272]

That piano piece at the beginning lives rent free in my mind

[@ellenmurphy2150]

Jon, you deserve all of those awards. You are such a blessing to this world! Freedom is living rent free in my brain right now. All the best!

Everyone is on top form. I’m so disappointed I can’t find an official recording because this looks awesome. The backup dancers are killing it

[@agentdai]

It’s up on Jon Batiste’s channel, you can check it out

[@silverforest4682]

there's an official video of this out there. dancing and singing in the street. it's a great video.

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Jon is one of the most gifted and talented musicians in the past 50 years! Thank You Jon!

[@amylake8499]

I've looked for the footage this was the best performance all night of anybody

The man is incredible. A gift to all of us. Brings us joy. 💕

[@amaka8086]

Can't believe that I met Jon and his wife tonight at the Preview of his Documentary in London. He is so down to earth and so gracious! What a gifted and talented individual ❤

[@randicam]

Yes, he truly is a wonderful soul living his truth! His Grammy acceptance speech on here says it all.

[@roseofsharon4872]

Bro. Jon you are talented and gifted, you have displayed the embodiment of: King of Soul Sam Cooke , Mr Excitement Jackie Wilson, The Architect of Rock " n" Roll Little Richard, Godfather of Soul James Brown , The King of Pop Micheal Jackson , that is just a few. Thank you.!!!!

[@lindalyte7307]

@ RoseofSharon/ AMEN.... Well said!!!! 🙏🏿😔

[@upstatenewyork]

Amen!

[@anneantonucci8962]

Sensational performance. It has to go down as one of the best performances of the Grammy awards

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

He is brilliant

[@chasetoy729]

I was all smiles watching this performance and then started laughing when he jumped on the table at the end. Loved it!!

[@MS-yz7sr]

He can really play piano very well! He has full control over the instrument and yet, chooses, not to control it, but to allow it to be an extension of his expression. You can hear it in the timings and small changes in volume.

[@TarotRosetta]

This is my favorite video of his performance! There's something about how you captured it from the wings, behind the scenes. It's like being there!

[@randicam]

@TheDynamicDivorcee Thank you- that is what I hope to accomplish! ❤

[@mariansmith7694]

Michael would absolutely LOVE THIS GUY...

I miss seeing Jon Batiste on Stephen Colbert's show, but it's good he seems to be doing well and creating cool things. I got tickets to one of the stops for Jon Batiste's tour next year, and I'm so excited! His music is fantastic! So unique and genuine. We Are is incredible, and so is World Music Radio. I have yet to see American Symphony, but I plan to watch it soon.

[@randicam]

Watching it put another layer on how extraordinary Jon is and his beautiful and courageous wife Suleika. Love the documentary 💜

[@susiewelch6778]

Yes both Blessed and talented.

[@greglewis9904]

Greatest act I've seen in along time.He's just so real and free.

[@davidmiller4594]

If you think this guy is great, and you have no idea really who he is, research his wife and their relationship. Jon is more than a great guy. He's the poster child of what it is to be a person!

[@SoNewOrleans1]

That’s how we do it in the Crescent City!!! Great job Jon!!!

[@estelleroxanakho3039]

He's the GREATEST EVER. I LOVE HIM. HE'S A VIRTUOSO

[@jsfnnyc]

OMG. Love seeing this at a new angle.

[@randicam]

Thanks Elic! Jon’s moves look so different to me, especially bending backwards and his amazing footwork. At any angle he is glorious to watch 💥💜💥

[@aundreasmith4472]

What a gifted and talented musician. His song writing abilities are fantastic. He and his wife, look so beautiful together.

[@randicam]

Agree to all three!

thank you for this...it is such a shame that the grammy's pulled the actual recorded performance (it was put on a youtube site and then pulled shortly after for 'copyright' isues..whatever!)....this is such a needed tonic for our hearts and minds in these troubling times we're all in.

[@vjsim1118]

I agree, what are they going to do with it but, let in sit in storage somewhere.

There is so much FUNK just waiting to happen w/ Jon Batiste....more to come.

Right?!!! I was just thinking we’ve had so few artists in recent years that can sing, dance, play instruments, write music and electrify an audience like Jon. To top off his creative genius list- he genuinely exudes HAPPINESS with style!

Never heard of this guy until the awards where has he been? He's good I love his talent he's just being heard..Just keep up with this entertainment he's great!

[@Alex-cb2gf]

You can catch him every night on the Colbert show.

[@randicam]

He has been the bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for eons. During the pandemic Jon was the main character and co-creator of the academy award winning animation “Soul”. Now, since the GRAMMYs, the world has put a face to the magic… A deeply spiritual Jazz virtuoso with Southern roots from New Orleans who knows how to bring the party!

[@MISNM0]

Jon Batiste by himself is so good I can barely hear some of his music without being so touched by emotion that I'm 'ruined' (for people who don't come at it with the earnestness he does). THANK YOU for helping the world to see/hear another clip of elite artistry in motion. And thank you to everyone on that stage who was doing the most to give the most. 💯👏

Jon’s authenticity reaches in and takes a hold of your soul.

I love this guy to pieces. He's a freaking genius. And we now live here in the French Quarter, so music is all around us. Great Grammy moment Hey, I get it: because of the size of the room, you could not do anything about the ambient sound being more hollow than, say - a cozier, smaller studio recording. But the joy? Undiminished. Thanks, man...

[@randicam]

You’re welcome Cynthia! Yeah I’d love to go back and tweak the audio and most visuals on every post but sometimes raw has to be good enough. I’m ecstatic that Jon is getting so much love and a new fan base because of this performance. He IS everything you see and more! 💜🙏🏼💜
