KEEP POSTING THESE!! You have a great band with amazing artists sitting in for a night or a week on the regular. Share it with the people.

[@bass7842]

More of this please. It's maddening to always hear this band finishing what was clearly a killer performance.

[@lauradeatonklauke3494]

Yes more of band on show❤❤❤❤

[@jedinxf7]

wow, that is a genuine legend and unexpected for mainstream TV musical acts

[@jodibrooklyn1033]

💯

[@rosieglasses]

I just love Meshell. Her voice holds all of her candor and passion and her music is absolutely beautiful.

[@MegaVern1]

She’s one of one! There’s nobody like her

[@melaber77]

THIS is the magic of live music. What an incredible performance by each individual, because the is so much greater than the parts.

[@LaGuerre19]

What an incredible group of musicians. Jon is and always will be amazing, but Louis Cato has stepped right up. Look forward to seeing Stephen interact with the band more and learning their names (like on Conan!)

[@MichaelLasotaWheresWaldo]

I second that!~

[@rocketreindeer]

In case you're interested,.... the current roster is: Louis Cato (bandleader/guitar); Endea Owens (bass); Negah Santos (percussion); Joe Saylor (drums); Jon Lampley (trumpet); Louis Fouché (sax); and Corey Bernhard (keyboards). Most if not all of them are multi-instrumentalists. I watched Endea Owens do a Tiny Desk Concert before I got who she was. They're all so amazing.

[@counterfit5]

Jon Lampley plays with O.A.R. and Cory Wong too

[@staciabelcher28]

Period

[@dirkus3722]

MORE OF THIS FOREVER AND ALWAYS Edit: Okay, now that the initial shock has worn off a bit, HOLY CRAP I did not expect the Late Show Band to be so absolutely outstanding. I mean, having Meshell there didn't hurt, but still. What a fantastically talented group of musicians.

[@MarkKramKarmVI]

Word

[@maxthrust976]

Watch the Cory Wong "Lunchtime" one if you haven't, it's nuts. This band is nuts.

[@ggjohnson5754]

Seeing them live...you won't be able to sit still..dance..dance I say!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

What a legend! Been a fan since I first heard her ages ago back in the early 90s.

[@toddbryan959]

Me too! As a bass player she’s SO solid! Her voice and lyrics. I wish I could sing and play like her!

[@RaiderClarke312]

Yeah I go back to her 1st Album Plantation Lullabies. She's the Truth!

[@MegaVern1]

Yes indeed! Meshelle is a force! And the musicians she chooses to be around understand the assignment

[@texaszag8748]

I totally agree with others, please give us more of this. What a fantastic band! Talent everywhere on that stage!

[@chrishubbell3313]

Love how the band actually know they are playing with a…LEGEND✊🏾 She needs to tour!🙏🏾 Fantastic performance & special shout out to that TRUMPET PLAYER…he seems to actually be enjoying himself.

[@BornIn82]

That bass guitar has seen life and is life.....

[@MegaVern1]

Saw Meshelle live back in 2003 and she still has that shyt that nobody can EFF with

[@StevenMazz1]

This is something you should do every darn day! Louis Cato and the band rock on every genre they play - an absolutely outstanding band.

[@tshanegilman6278]

100% LOVE Meshell Ndegeocello : This jam is the BEST jam!!!!!

[@Another_Broke_Musician]

I LOVE HER! Her album, "Peace Beyond Passion" is my favorite funk & soul music ever, and I've been around since the days of Sly & the Family Stone. And as a bass player, I could only hope that my playing could ever reach the depths of emotion she exhibits. BRILLIANT!!

[@morgancatherwood5665]

It's wonderful when Louis and Meshell lock back in at 4:55 - great resolve - absolutely love this

[@MarkKramKarmVI]

Awesome uplift...Great space Bass placement by upright electric duo. Whole band...Damn👌❤️🌟

[@omextracts]

Wow!!! Incredible performance my ears are swimming in the sweetness

[@mikegendron3723]

Almost every time The Late Show has a musical guest, I go "Who?" Then I hear them and go "OMG" Mind blowing, almost all of the musical acts that come on, mind blowing! Whoever does the musical bookings for this show, you're not being paid enough!!!

[@ammaleslie509]

You can't go wrong with the Late Show taste in music. Every time LSSC has introduced me to someone I have never heard of, it has been amazing

[@ajadrew]

Just listened to Meshell's Omnichord Realbook...blown away & then this in my recommended youtube list - blown away again, what a track & what a band!!!

[@nicks.8003]

I had no idea the band could jam out that well! Diggin this big time. Maybe they should tell that Colbert guy to let the band do more music on the show.

[@Baribrotzer]

I'd be surprised if they couldn't. They're all first-call jazzers who can play their asses off, plus they get one thing most jazz bands, even the best, don't - regular practice as a band.

[@HermitLady]

I love that they’ve started posting these music breaks! This is only second one I’ve seen but I LOVE it!

[@357CLOUDY]

That is a good idea. No one is doing this.

[@ammaleslie509]

I heard there was a complicated contractual rights problem with allowing some of these live performances to be aired on TV. Apparently they have found a way to get around that for KZbin!!!

[@inmaculadaconcepcion1600]

❤️‍🔥✨🤩✨Love, Love Meshell Ndegeocello🎉Thank 🌷🌻🌹, you all Rock!!!! ✨🙏🏽💞💕

[@357CLOUDY]

Well, that was as refreshing as an unexpected gentle rainshower. In Texas. Thanks for this! Anyway we could have this more often. Nice seeing her in the mainstream.

[@mendygraves3325]

Phenomenal artist, Meshell is a magical being.

[@Beehj84]

Louis is so effing cool. I loved Jon's work, but Louis is the long-term band leader in my eyes. Such wonderful energy and brilliant, broad, engaging skills, and a fantastic ability to integrate these guest artists.

[@NormanWalker-zh7yg]

❤Ed this performance.She, and the band were infkngcredible!!! Need 2 see more...Norman Walker😂

[@NormanWalker-zh7yg]

Performance has been saved! Norman Hyatt Walker😊 Nov.1st 2023@1:24 pm. Send me more...

[@ae5449]

It's amazing how her music transients! Comfort Woman... Love this album

[@newhorizonsforfifty2833]

That bass harmony MeShell hits at 4:52 is part of what makes her such an essential part of why bass guitars do it for me.

[@beautifulwright6679]

I just love her ...I'm still listening to the anthropology cookies album...it's sure banging.

[@RLSchanneltwo]

Meshell Ndegeocello always one of my forever favorites! That trumpet solo was sweet too!

[@thatbmorechickfoodiecookin500]

Thank you for having this AWESOME Artist here on your show!!! HAVE LOVED HER SINCE INCEPTION. LOVE ME'SHELL'S FACE WHEN SHE IS REALLY FEELING IT! Band is great too!!!

[@RobSchmidtke]

What a welcome surprise! An incredible album.

[@NatoShinobi]

She is a LEGEND

[@fletchoid]

Great idea. Keep posting these "commercial break" videos. The band is so excellent.

[@bei1016]

This is Amazing TV. Thank Goodness for Meshell . Fantastic Group of Musicians .

[@pluribus_unum]

The tradition of late night talk shows and great bands is sustained. Kudos!

[@halcop]

That was absolutely freakin' awesome. Plus Meshell too. Luis Cato and the band were killin' it.

[@browe]

True artist and musician who greatly influenced me as a bassist back in the day. Rad.

[@laurelanddavid8695]

Yes. Thank you. More Louis & Co. complete performances Please.

[@josemelendez8549]

Fantastic!!!. Every time you come back from the commercial break we catch the end of great music. Hope you continue to do this

[@WhistlebirdInfinity]

A mayyyyyyyzing. Down to Earth but very cosmic sounding also

[@shanjayaweera3036]

Meshell is a goddess no doubt - very impressed also by LouisCato and the band - these guys are all top of their game

[@arjanhurkmans9190]

wow, this is amazing, what a jam! Awesome!

[@batgurrl]

Awesome. Please post these more frequently. She has an amazing voice

[@meganatkinson1593]

[@WTHFX]

This is better than The Lateshow could possibly deserve. Incredible!

[@HermitLady]

YES! 🙌🙌 more music spotlight please!

[@gimmeagig]

[@rahra2483]

Wow this was a whole vibe! The whole band was jammin'.

[@markoconnor1691]

Beautiful. Here's to everyone else dancing round the living rooooom xx

[@ryannewsome2981]

This is Meshell Ndegeocellos' 30th Anniversary in the music business. I believe she's had that same bass for 30 years.

[@bankjibbernow]

Incredibly criminally underrated… lover her ❤

[@TheFlutecart]

Good stuff. Real music.

[@DrXimena]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for posting this. More of the band and its guests!! .

[@jeanluc1211]

It's one of my favorite songs of hers. I'm really happy to be able to see this song performed live. When she came to Japan, she had just released her "Comet, Come to Me" album and it was a really fun show. I still remember the shock I felt when she debuted, and I love all of her albums.

[@CaptainJazz262]

John Lampley sounding great as always on the trumpet!

[@eddiebrown9471]

Love Meshell, Beautifully performed 🎉❤

[@Pasta1nc]

HOLY CRAP! YOU ANSWERED MY REQUEST! FREAKIN' COLBERT!

[@morgancatherwood5665]

This is amazing. I'm so glad to hear this. I will investigate her music further. How many times have I complained that there's no good music out there anymore? Now I know it's just a lack of me being involved. And that dude on the trumpet just WRECKED it - wow

[@nkj777able]

Superb!❤❤❤Especially the sista on upright! #MeshellGeniusFlow

[@arturscarneiro]

Thank you! And please post more of Meshell’s performance! I watched the day it happened and was sad to not watch the entire songs.

[@lauradeatonklauke3494]

Love!! Cato is amazing musical leader (and as cute as can be❤)

[@josephsaah2613]

Brilliant! Respect all around!

[@JochenVogel]

Great music, all the way!

[@dddg6327]

Beautiful 😍😍😍

[@FusionHowie]

Amazing! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@bmuhamad]

Absolutely Lovely.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

FAB clip, and lovely performance!

[@funkways]

I'm crying, it's just so good.

[@julietchristen]

Me too!!

[@lucyamy5165]

So cool ❤

[@ateamfan42]

Few things rock more than a band with TWO bassists! (Yes I know one is a special guest, but still damn cool!)

[@josephchamberlain3681]

It's been too long since the last one of these. Very glad to see a new one. ❤

[@robertcasey7312]

WOW WOW WOW I’ll take as much of that as you’ve got. Funky, cool, talent, I’m out of words.

[@jottazzarango9502]

simply amazing!

[@aaronkraft2091]

So much yes!

[@0HARE]

Oh, this was fabulous! MORE OF THESE, PLEASE!

[@Phukugoooglification]

Freakin tight musicians. Awesome jam.

[@jodibrooklyn1033]

This was really impressive. Wish we heard more stuff like this on late night TV.

[@EyeofHorus2347]

This was a better performance than many of the artists you have promoted on the show! Whoever is responsible for posting here needs to ensure this is a regular feature. Due my schedule I rarely get to see the show at broadcast so I rely heavily on the clips you post. Fantastic performance!

[@litwin707]

SO GOOD!!!

[@djcoolcliff]

My uncle Uncle Wah Wah Watson used to play for her band! RIP to Melvin Ragin!!!
