Jon Batiste's joy

[@Tousanx]

jon batiste is one cool human being.

[@jandamskier6510]

And so handsome

[@amanhismusicareneverparted5366]

met him and he's a joy of a human but more than that: one of America's few true musical geniuses and NO EGO

[@eme.261]

You're right, Jon. You can't lose yourself when you know yourself. ☺☺

[@savaiiboy]

You keep doing your thing, Jon! Spread the joy.

[@JasonB95]

I love his infectious spirit. That's the way to live.

[@JH-lu9lx]

I had the absolute privilege of living in New Orleans for a year and absolutely loved it there. Jon is the epitome of New Orleans and what makes New Orleans so very special.

[@barbararey843]

God bless Jon Batiste for bringing the joy of the musical heritage of New Orleans into NYC :) The whole nation needs the healing that music brings. :)

[@georgemilo7649]

What a beautiful being

[@WyliesWorld]

He has to be one of my favorite musicians. And person. He's such a cool, genuine, and an incredibly talented guy.

[@yashiAR]

"because I am me" 💕

[@christineboone2850]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MISNM0]

This is what I was gonna post on. Isn't it the absolutely best comment??

[@datedoctorsean]

I love the natural fluidity of his music. Love this man as a person, but I also love the simple honesty of his soul. This man is one of the few I've found difficult to define, because he's so genuine, honest and his music is pure. If music is a glimpse of the soul, this man has a beautiful one.

[@donnakirton6282]

Jon Batiste is an absolutely beautiful soul. He personifies 'joy.'His music...wow...another level.

[@breal7277]

We're not worthy. This man is beautiful inside and out!

[@musicola7371]

For anyone who wants to know what a real musician and real music is all about, this is not a bad place to start learning. Dig his joy!

[@MusicLover-qg4rn]

❤️❤️❤️ he's the most unpretentious performer I know of. He's real. Love him !!

[@sant2maya]

This is how u live... Share love share joy

[@lethiapage4767]

I'm pretty sure jon is absolutely a vehicle for the holy spirit to move around in. He opens up and the word spills out of him.

[@Silvana716]

What a gorgeous, brilliant human being and heart. Hope our paths cross someday soon.

[@angelloves5637]

He plays good music and has a great heart and soul

[@carolebaker156]

He said, I'm me...you are! A true original! I love you!

[@silverlve70]

🎼🎵Some folks just live, breathe and are music 🎶

[@keeshabrown7353]

Man. When you got that joy, it's gonna shine without even trying. Trust me I know! 😊😄💞 Keep doing your thing and keeping letting that light shine. "Everywhere I go... Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Oh Yeah"✌️

[@bonniepoole1095]

Here's a dude with talent and class.

[@loveablelala]

I want to be on his level on peace and calm. Such a quality musician and person

[@adambogart7216]

I tell you what. He is ONE cool cat. Love that guy.

[@CatsBestFinds59]

I'm so happy this guy is in the world, his music is exquisite. 🎶💙

[@xaresv]

i love, LOOOVE this guy. I think he is very smart, and obiously talented but what i like the most is his LIGHT, he is just all light

[@JKSCN]

awesome musician and human being

[@Latnman101]

I've been to New Orleans and breaking out in music is very normal and beautiful. I remember walking St. Anne to Jackson square and listening to a lone man with a trumpet just start playing it. Sigh, what a night that was.

[@rogueleader1988]

saw this interview live on Sunday Morning, truly happy for Jon Batiste and Stay Human. Hope they will play the Moja Arts Festivle in Charleston, SC someday....

[@moxiesaturday]

they be lookin, i be goin'. those are great words to live by

[@bigh7972]

Jon Batiste is a living example of being true to oneself. The joy and authenticity he exudes shines bright. Every time I see this guy on stage making music I get this positive vibe. Stephen Colbert best decision was to bring Jon on aboard Late Night. It sets the right tone for the show.

[@Balladov]

Music is all of our first language, just most are taught to forget.

[@syckindahead]

Interesting point

[@clivesmith9377]

CONGRATULATIONS for the awards, Jon Batiste!!!❤❤❤

[@pushpamalhotra8603]

How sweet, always spreading joy. You will be an eternal shining star ❤️🌹🤗

[@sooz9433]

This piece just confirms what a wonderful guy Jon Batiste truly is in my opinion. He was made to do music and his music brings happiness and joy to those of us who listen. 🎼🖤

[@mindtheprivacy]

This man is everything soul is.

[@goodwillhart]

Inspirational. He also has a pretty good voice I think. Shame we didn't hear more of it, except for one small part with him singing on the street.

[@graytime5828]

Because I'm me. This guy is just epic!

[@annamc8228]

I love this man - he oozes authenticity.

[@jimothyhimony]

I pity the 5 people who disliked this. Who hurt you?

[@tommasofava2569]

Great guy, love him!

[@talesofcsoplahia]

When I first saw him play and his aura on display, I said, "Finally, a person with talent on the level of Ray Charles, bringing something new to music but with a very familiar and old school feel." John Batiste is HIM!

[@nadinetrelles9693]

Brotha is real as they come ❤️👍🏽

[@lakeishas242]

Jon Batiste and Amitabh Bachchan look a lot alike each other.

[@MsColetha]

I am from Houston and never heard of any of this 💫⭐️✨🌟❣️

[@bybybythewaywayway2006]

He's hot 😍😍😍

[@ashleystearns2486]

We need to clone Jon Batiste.

[@mrpicky1868]

he has a lot of guys to keep him in check, so he ll be fine

[@Nancy-fm1ie]

Just saw his musical video "Freedom." A melange of color, music and high spirits! It's too bad he is now affiliated w the low-class Col-bert.

[@omarsabih]

Worst TV show side-band ever. Never relevant, horrible timing. Humor-killer.

[@markdarnell614]

all I needed to see was - West Virginia. Explains EVERYTHING!
