In this deeply intimate documentary, musician Jon Batiste attempts to compose a symphony as his wife, writer Suleika Jaouad, undergoes cancer treatment. - Zábava
I adore Jon Batiste. He just seems to operate on a higher spiritual level than most people and it's so inspiring.
Yes!
I couldn't agree more! Love, love, love Jon Batiste!
Absolutely higher soul
I JUST learned about this young man....and his wife. I love his attitude and perspective. How they deal with the "highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows!"
The juxtaposition of their experiences makes me cry.❤💔❤️
His Grammy speech, when he said "music finds you when you need it most"....
..Yeah❤
I just think Jon Batiste is the most extraordinary amazing person of his generation. His brain, his soul, and his spirit all ooze higher-level thinking, thoughtfulness, and understanding of the world and the meaning of life.
Amen to that ✝️
Jjn
Wow !❤❤❤
yep next level 🙏🏽🎹
I'm adding the amazing bassist and artist Suleila Jaouad to this list of most amazing humans! Jon Michelle Sueila thank you all
This interview was so beautiful -- Butterfly indeed. Who else is crying?
Na only you o. Ha!
So much warmth came from watching this beautiful conversation about their love for music.
Two truly extraordinary individuals. The epitome of Style, Grace and Class.
Dear Jon u are always a blessing to my soul primarily because of the GIVE in your spirit as u share ur joys, challenges& talent so freely w us! Bless u as always Michelle ! U r a delight !
I love this description !🥰
I love that Jon shares the details of his roots without bothering acknowledging or denying that he is a musical genius. That fact is incontrovertible!
This brought tears to my eyes. Two people that I admire so much, chatting about music and the meaning of life. Golden.
I am so drawn to both of their Spirits. Strength, compassion , courage, bodness Faith, Wisdom , creativity, Empowering , inspiration and the openess that they both share with all of us. Heartfelt ❤😇
Two of my most favorite people in the world!! Jon's love for his wife makes the world Stop and notice the beauty all around us!
Very nice, Beverly!
John Batiste is an amazing individual and a gift to humanity for his great love of music and the performances that he gives back to us. I watched him on the Steven Colbert Late Show with much admiration of the great respect they have for each other. I lost my husband to leukemia and to see the love John has for his wife and her struggles is most inspiring. She will live on forever in that love.
❤❤❤
I love her SO much, and we are SO lucky to have Jon Batiste and his exquisite wife among us, creating. Thank you both for this time you shared with us. 🙂
Jon Batiste is sunlight in human form.
I couldn’t agree more! ❤
He is so in touch with his emotions that they float out of him in musical tones. He's amazing!
Your butterfly lullaby has just left me in a puddle of tears ❤ my beautiful baby Freyja passed away unexpectedly in June and I’ve been trying to hold it together this Christmas but your music has just brought it all to the surface! Thank you, I need to let it out ❤❤❤
The Nordic goddess Freyja by the way is associate with butterflies so it just makes it even more special 🥰
Condolences on your Baby. I know she would want you to be Okay.🙏🏽💜🕊️
So sorry for the loss of your baby. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child.
Sorry for your loss.
May you find comfort in the love you shared for her. My condolences.
Sorry for your loss? Remember the good times. God Bless.
Jon Batiste is magical. What a talented and beautiful soul he is.
What a great conversation. What a talented man Jon is.
And Michelle, so insightful. Beautiful Queen
I love Jon's music, story, and soul. I don't have Netflix... So I hope to see this American symphony work in another format.
I have Netflix. It is truly a masterpiece with a chip, flawed (cos it went off the rails quite early, with something unplanned) but still immensely beautiful in the end (coz Jon just took the unexpected event and worked it into a magical performance). It's something I have shared with every one of my friends who love good music like me and who aren't privileged to see it in its present format. I wish I can do that for you, but I guess I can't. I can only hope you see it soon, in a way that you would be able to conveniently enjoy it. Peace.
Just watching american symphony is worth subscribing to netflix for a month.
To repeat: it is worth subscribing to Netflix!
That was such personal interview. Their point of how music takes us back in time could not be more true. It binds us as a living beings and takes the woes away, even for a moment.
If I could sprinkle my love all over the world there would be no hate and racism.
Amen to that@@inezparker9528.
You always feel joy listening to Jon. You feel hope.
"That chip is where the light comes in"❤
It's a play on Leonard Cohen's:
"Ring the bells that still can ring / Forget your perfect offering / There is a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in.
Thrown in so casually...
Jon Batiste is an amazingly talented person, he is so well spoken and brings the compassion to our world when he talks about his own struggles or other's who're going through very difficult times. Music is a universal language which helps us to connect to each other 🎵🎶💜 Michele Obama has a special calming way to interview people.
he makes me cry with happiness. And when he touches on his relationship with his wife on CBS Sunday Morning. WOW. Imagine if all the people living life could be a bit more like Jon.
Butterfly is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It's both confrontational yet so beautiful in music and lyrics. Thank you, Jon. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Batiste and Mrs. Obama for this lovely moment at the piano. I had a good cry just watching this. Both of you are kind have tenderness and caring ways.
Mrs. Obama, you are my favorite First Lady. Mr. Batiste your Butterfly lullaby is so beautiful .
Jon Batiste 🎉 & Michelle Obama 🎉 What a Breathtaking Surprise ❤❤❤❤ This was truly Amazing to come across this on a Sensational Saturday!!!! Very Inspirational Soul!!!!
Two people here, together, who both have a light that shines so bright, they could illuminate the world!
OUR. WORLD. NEEDS. MORE. OF. *THIS*!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I agree with Jon Batiste - music is a time machine. It's the only thing I know that can make you actually feel the way you felt at a particular moment in the past. It's much more than a visual memory.
I appreciate the honesty & vulnerability of Jon especially sharing things that can be so emotionally difficult. What a wonderful musician, human and husband to his beautiful wife.
I'm not a pop culture guy and I don't fancy music and political people coming together BUT THIS GUY IS SUCH A LOVING SPIRITUAL SOUL. He is not a normal musician. He operates on a spiritual level that most music superstars are ignorant of, and he does it gracefully. That's why I embrace what he does.❤
This 66 year-old pasty white woman is openly weeping at the beauty of these two beautiful souls - sharing love. *SO* perfect to find this on Christmas Day… Michelle, could you get even *more* beautiful? ❤
❤❤❤
How can I be as talented as he then?
😢❤❤❤
This 67-year-old pasty white woman with freckles is also crying lol. Michelle and Jon are truly two of the most beautiful and loving and wise people on earth. It's always a joy to see either of them, but somehow both of them at the piano on Christmas day was so touching that I was moved to tears.
Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays to One and All🕊🌲🕊
Short, sweet, and deeeeppppp.🌹
Is there a 90 minute-long video of Jon Batiste and Michelle Obama just chilling and enjoying conversation through music? I really want that to be a thing!
Do you love Big Mike and Satan? Forgive your mother.
*Michael

... would be ashamed of you!!
Jon is the most beautiful soul this world has to offer.
Thank you jon ❤ i love so much the film on netflix. You and your wife should be nominated for an oscar for example. Amazing doc or movie, i just know i cried and laughed. Thank you is all I can say . all the best🙏
"Healing notes." ❤🎶🙏🏾 Perfectly said.
We are so fortunate to have the musical genius and the loving soul of Jon. Then add the "Forever First Lady" playing the Peanut's song. If you haven't watched American Symphony" please do yourself a favor and watch it. Jon and Suleika both taught me several ways of very deep and soulful that I have made a commitment to follow them. I'm homebound and listening to them both has given me a deeper understanding of my soul and my outlook on life. I'm so over the moon that Suleike is doing so wonderful ! I say thank you to God/The Universe/The One/ in gratitude of her healing. Theirs is unconditional love that most people never have. Thank you both for giving me some tools that I can use to look at situations differently from a space of love. In the end, all you take with you to the other side is love, plain and simple.
This is what natural communication looks like. It's a chance to communicate with people in a way where we patiently take turns to listen and share stories stripped of anything superficial.
We should all spend more time talking to people who are nothing like us in the same way we seek out people who share our values. There is no better way to grow fruitful humanity.
Well said!
There are no words to describe how beautiful this light is!❤
If my own spirit ever received more warmth than watching two of my favorite people, i cannot name the time😢❤
A GREAT musician, and our GREATEST First Lady ever.
Jon seems to have a kind and peaceful energy ❤❤❤
Would love to see Jon Batiste and Samara Joy in concert. Oh what a show that will be
Took my 18 yr old son who listens to everything. He came reluctantly and LOVED the entire gig. He talked about it for days to his buddies and wore his Jon Batiste T-Shirt to school the next day and for days following. Jon's talent and love for music is felt in the shows he gives. Such a talent.
OMY the beautiful energy you two bring to this world reminds me to be present and be in the moment and enjoy the basic things like music. Butterfly is my favorite song these days, I fall asleep listening to it most nights. It makes me feel safe and free. Thank you, Jon Batiste. Your creativity is my Christmas present for 2023.
When Jon Batiste left The Late Show I was worried about him. I knew his Wife was ill and I thought he was leaving the safe environment of the show too soon. I worried that he might not find sustainable commercial success. I'm glad to say I was completely wrong. Jon's music is timeless and beautiful. Jon Batiste had to spread his wings and fly 🕊️. There's a lesson in there for us all. Jon had outgrown The Late Show band leader position. I couldn't see it then but I see it now. Fly high Young Brother Batiste. 👍🏾🏆
I adore these two people so much. ❤️
Big Mike is an Icon 💅
@@realcade Micheal yup. Baphomet Sex Change. Osama Bin Laden = Biden and Obama.
Me too ❤️❤️❤️
A Brother playing classical I love it! And my first Lady grew up playing the piano 🎹 amazing!! 🧡
So beautiful these two in harmony 🙏💕🌷
Are these not two of the most beautiful people in the Universe? This gives me hope for 2024. Beautiful people, thank you for loving US.
Beautiful! John Batiste emotions poor out onto the piano! Wow!
i cried alot during American Symphony, this man is extraordinarily talented. What vision and all while his wife went through chemo.
Jon Batiste is a beautiful person inside and out, he is love.
He and his wife are beautiful together. God Bless them!!!
I hadn't even heard of him before. But he is not only good looking, but he seems to have an authentic soul and way of living, which flows through his way of playing.
Julliard and a childhood in New Orleans -- a great combination. He’s an amazing musician and more than that a person of obvious depth.
@JP-lu9ed Agreed! I knew nothing about him, but, now I know more! His hard work and authenticity shines through!
Mercy! Didn’t know how wonderful this 5-minute clip would be to me!!
I just love Jon Batiste! ❤ such a amazing and talented being!
Just beautiful. And when we desperately need more beauty in the world, thank you for sharing your love with us, Jon and Michelle.
❤️🕊️💫🌟
He's a wonderful musician with a lovely personality. He and Michelle Obama make for a great interview.
I have so much love and respect for both of these beautiful people ❤️❤️
Loving both of them❤❤
Beautiful beyond words🥲 Helps me keep the faith that there are people in this world with loving hearts. And leaders that lead with love🥰
Jon is such a pure soul
Pure Soul? Really
@@besslee7905
Jon Batiste … Without a doubt
When I heard that Batiste wrote a song about a butterfly I was suspicious because, as "Butterfly Kisses," proves, that song can get very unpleasantly sappy. Then I heard his song and it just soothes beautifully. The right song for the right time personally for him, and I think healing for the rest of us.
Jon Batiste is pure magic embodied.
Absolutely Beautiful!!!! What a blessing in the testimony!!!
This man is a walking testimony of what God’s love looks like through music. He is full of wisdom and love! Truly one of my favorites!!
Nothing makes me feel so much so quickly like music does - and people like Batiste touches me so effortlessly, music truly flows through him. This was a beautiful conversation.
Jon has been a blessed blessing for all of us to witness,and "experience."...because you don't listen to Jon's music you experience it !
Actually sobbing. Jon Batiste is magical.
Loved these few moments with the First Lady and Jon; FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us. :)
We were so blessed to have Barak and Michelle and I adore Jon baptise
A lovely meeting of souls... and Jon is a huge reminder of what growing up surrounded by music in a family can do... ❤
Wow.. just, wow.. ❤💞
Excellent video with two of my fav' people.
I can not imagine being able to play this beautifully 😮

This video is a nice Christmas night present that was waiting for me when I got home tonight.
You and FLOTUS are beautiful souls.
Beautiful people. I'm white, 84 now, brought up as a typical white kid with very little exposure to music, altho my Dad had learnt violin as a small kid, and loved listening to little bits of classics on a Sunday evening, so I got that too. What most makes me sit up & take notice in this video is the depth of these guy's characters - they know pain, they know joy, and it shows ! We whites often have a stunted appreciation of the pain in others' lives because we are living as a privileged class in this society - that's what we consider our 'right' even f we never express that. It's obvious with those who get spiteful to people like these 2. Thank you guys for reminding me of the facts !~ Never let me hear one word of criticism of them for what I felt as they talked together - deep souls, with much to teach others ! I will be checking out his music - I did not know him before !
I love Michelle Obama she reminds me of a friend ❤ you can tell her vibe is authentic I also salute him for becoming an artist. When we all took up music class🎭✌
I love the way he looked into her eyes.
Thank you for making my Sunday morning so full of love and appreciation for me being alive. 😊❤
Simply amazing and thank you Jon and First Lady Michelle for your survival stories thru life. We loved the documentary.
I’m convinced that Jon is an angel in human form. What an amazing human being! And Michelle is a truly lovely, remarkable woman. Such a treat to see them both in this clip!
4:01 that *“hmmm”* says everything.
JB is simply an inspiring human in every way. How lucky we are to have him in our lives.
What a sweet, sweet conversation. Your film American Symphony, Jon, was one of the most moving and beautiful works of art I’ve ever seen. Your music is transformative. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Jon Batiste makes me so happy! Such a beautiful spirit and humble talent! Always rooting for his wins! ❤
We are so fortunate to have Jon Batiste and his wonderful wife with us, creating, and I adore her so much. We appreciate you both sharing this time with us.
Exquisite harmony! ❤ 👌
Two amazing people ❤
Two of my favorite people ever! I love you! Everrrr!
Love these two beautiful people so much!! God bless ❤
My fiance and I saw Jon play in Seattle recently to a sold out crowd. He was fantastic and gave his all as did his band! Loved it when Jon started walking through the audience playing his mouth piano. He was like the pied piper! I look forward to watching the American symphony. I listened to an Interview of Sulieka by a guy in a bright rainbow sweater that was beautiful. Make the best out of any situation by turning it into artistic expression. Inspirational!
Love it!❤
Jon Batiste 😊
🎶 A Music Genius... 🎶

Jon has such a sweet voice . . . it matches his soul.
