I'm just imagining him playing this for Suleika, neither one of them knowing whether she's coming home from the hospital or whether this time, the cancer is going to take her "HOME", and I am tearing up. And then he smiles while playing, and it's clear this man tries his best to live in the moment with gratitude.

Just utterly beautiful. One of the coolest moments was sitting in the Late Show audience in the early months of the show. Seats were front row but off to the side - not a great view for the guests, but basically front row seats for the magic that was Jon Batiste and Stay Human. He's missed on the show, but boy am I glad the rest of the world has caught up to the level of ears listening and accompanying accolades he deserves. Heart and joy in everything. Rarely in music does so much technical talent coincide with such deep, palpating emotion. We're lucky to get to see it in real time.

@frankiesfeathers718 5 ай бұрын

A very real blessing for me to see and hear a man... even an African American brother be so in touch with his feelings and emotions. The fact that he's unafraid to express them in such a tender way speaks volumes about his level of maturity as a man and just as a human "being" period. Lovely man....I'd love to know more about his upbringing. ❤❤❤

That not only is a stunningly beautiful heartwarming tribute but noticed the care in recording his performance visually.

@kohlinoor 5 ай бұрын

I mean, it's a smart chord choice, but it's a classic jazz substitution.There's so much more to him as a musician than that one choice- specifically the way he blends his classical training with this roots in New Orleans, and now with more Pan-African flavours. That's the true genius and artistry.
