'Mr. Sir Jon" Batiste, you put your Soul in the world and makes me feel happier with my own Soul. I almost 78 yrs old; when I hear your genius God given talent, my body feels no age. As a little skinny girl, I spent a lot of time with my Grandmother who lived in Possum Kingdom. Yeah, we would put her record player that only played vinyl records. She played from Hank Williams to Rachmaninoff. Your music gives my Soul that same Happy Soul feeling those vinyl records that Grandmother gave me. I always ask her to play Mr. Louis Armstrong first and last. You awaken that little girl with visions in me like nobody else has ever done. "Thank you" is too little words that cannot express how I feel. God bless and stay safe.
By the way, got a piano at age 12
First recital played "Rachmaninoff's in C sharp minor". Love you! ❤️

I will be 80 years old in November and Jon Batiste is like a breath of fresh air! I have worked for the past 7 years and retired for the 3rd time in March, 2022. I kinda got left behind due to lack of time, but, I remember seeing Jon directing the band on Colbert's show and he was energetic and woke me up! But last year I fell in love with his music on You Tube trying to play "catch up"! Now I am fully aware of his "repertoire" and I am aware of just how talented and skilled he is. Black music history enlarged once again! I have tried to look and listen to his music and jazz is my fave, but he excels in all his genre's! Proud of his awards this year and stretching out to symphony this year! Do it to it Jon!

I can say this, having been a 13 year ARTCM Royal Conservatory piano player and ex-band member.... Jon is beyond. As a piano player alone he is our Mozart. What I see him do is unbelievable. He never looks at music or the keys. His hands are literally independent beings with a brain in between. Talk about a savant. I was taught to memorize Chopin & Rachmaninoff. He just seems to know it. Jeepers Jon. I have no words. Thank you for showing the way and being humble.
