- At 27, New York City Musician Jon Batiste is considered by many to be one of the most exciting and progressive new crossover talents on the scene today. His modern take on the American songbook - equally influenced by his passion for jazz and classical styles, which he calls "Social Music" - attracts critical acclaim as well as audiences across all demographics. These two New Orleans natives will discuss Batiste's music, their hometown, the importance of music education, and the state and future of American musical traditions more broadly.

I'm in a youtube Jon Batiste tunnel and Im loving it
Me too! I love him. In fact, his spirit reminds me a lot of Louis Armstrong ❤🎶
Old enough to say they are both from my time he he
Same😂
Right there with you, this is a classy dude
Louis Armstrong was a superhuman.
The way he explains it, this is a master class.
“What’s that called?”
“Soul ... devine insight.”
It was that last line in Amazing Grace, that Louis Armstrong line, that really souled it.
This interview makes me want to move to New Orleans, have a dozen kids, and raise them all as musicians.
I wish I was raised there..looks like black folks had to find a way to find joy out of unimaginable circumstances. They did it w music. They still dragging our white asses w em, tryin* to lift peoples spirits…that’s love. I love him
Thank you Jon Batiste for that music. Bless you.
💜 Thank you Jon for enlightened us on the remarkable Louis Armstrong, RIP. 🥰
im so glad this man exists - someone who can play amazing grace like that. it's such a special thing.
So talented, so good natured, so charming.
I first heard Louis Armstrong when I was 11, December 25th to be exact. I was lucky enough to get a set of records of Pops, the sound of Dippermouth Blues still in my ears. Pops, I think you were the greatest I wish I was lucky enough to have heard you in person. I love you Pops and thank you.
Hi Tom. I'm one of the truly lucky ones who heard Louie Armstrong when I was young. It was 65 years ago when I was just 15! I was in high school then in South Bend, Indiana and he played a concert at Notre Dame University. All these decades later it still stands in my memory as one of the happiest moments of my life. I didn't consider myself lucky at the time, of course, but time has a way of putting things in perspective.
The amazing grace of Louis
Jon is comfortable in his own skin, a cool cat, gifted artist, and sexy, whose mama clearly raised him right. I love his love, for music and art.
Or... is it just me?
African Americans have given the world so much brilliant music and freedom. I love John’s insights. He’s a great student and torch barer. I’m going to shut up and listen now
His song "what a wonderful world" is a hymn.
That bit at the end where Baptiste spoke about hearing music from miles away across the river?
I totally believe it. We have more inlets than rivers out here in the Pacific NW, and noise pollution is prevalent, but I've heard there was a time when you could hear a dog barking off the west side of Lake Washington.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Jon Batiste! I lived in Queens for 16 years, and got introduced to Satchmo. Great, great, great musician!!
Louis Armstrong, was truly and African Genius, like our Ancestors, who built the Pyramids! A Genius in every musical way! HIs rhythm came from AFRICA!! HIs warmth and love came from AFRICA! Don't you forget it!!
Not an African genius, not the man who changed American music - just a pure genius who changed music throughout the world. A treat for all of us.
You can only understand Louis Armstrong as instictively being blown away by his gift.

@4:35 SOUL
The importance of History.
Being from another country, I find it weird that they're from the same town yet speak so differently
I'm sorry, Jon, but you were a bit off base with your Louis Armstrong story. I just did so.e research for a presentation I made last week.🙂🎶⚜️🎵
Louis Armstrong went to the Waif's Home because he got busted,on the corner of Perdido and S. Rampart, for sooting a gun in the air on New Year's Eve. He was there for 18 months. And he was quite the trouble maker. After getting out, he went to work running errands for the Karnofsky family and played around town at night.
Look at the pictures of Albert Einstein-open eyeballs, tongue out-he didn’t look like a genius, but he was. Louis Armstrong was a genius too-both of them just knew how to have fun.
Nur Einstein war ein Verbrecher und Lügner
Wait... Marsalis said that that swing rythm or soul was invented by Bolden not Armstrong
Nice facepiano.
😄💋🎹😜
The interviewer is a complete dud, but Jon is wonderful!
00:53 hasn't aged well
Louis is reputed to have said if you have to have jazz explained and Louis was jazz then you don't know what jazz is and you will I suspect never know whatg jazz is.It cannot be explained it either resonates or ir doesn't.
I did not know that there is such an instrument such as a mini blowing piano 🎹?
😳😕😶
It's called a melodica, look up Augustus Pablo.
Nat King Cole played it in one of his shows
Look up Melodica Men
Walter:Why are you trying to chase Black people out of New Orleans?
I've never heard someone say it like "Lewis" Armstrong
Armstrong preferred (slightly) "Lewis." Jazz fans say "Lewis." Everyone from the Louis Armstrong House Museum and Archives says "Lewis." He was fine with "Louie," but say "Lewis" if you want to be in the cool-kids' club. Better, just call him as "Pops."
@@JBL626 or Satchmo ('Satchelmouth') surely
He always signed his letters 'Louis(pronouced Lewis).listen to Hello Dolly...'This is Louis,Dolly
No cameras in Beethoven's time. I like Louis but not in the same universe as Beethoven.
Of course he is.. only difference is centuries apart in terms of birth.
In terms of influence and popularity and breaking barriers he is very certainly in the same universe. He changed 20th century music.
Well we all live in the same universe
Hahaha
How would you know?Your analogy is stupid.
