Child Prodigy Hears Jon Batiste For The First Time
Pierre H.@danielpunkass I hate you. 4 years and he plays like that?
I have a piano to sell
Nick Radcliffe@danielpunkass Thanks for sharing both of those. Amazing and joyous.
queuebit@danielpunkass Watching the video, Jon can definitely "see" music that I can't.
As a non-musically inclined person, I am constantly asking myself what is he looking at.
@queuebit He's a remarkable genius.
Mark Rakes@danielpunkass @queuebit please check out his new “Beethoven Blues" album if you haven't. It's really something special.
Rui Paulo@queuebit @danielpunkass he has perfect pitch so he can identify the notes being sung / played much faster than most of us. Then he knows music theory well enough that he knows the chord progressions. After that he can assemble his massive improv skills and transform that to music.
Brandon@danielpunkass so friggin cool thanks for sharing!
Brian Warren@danielpunkass The pure joy in that man is an inspiration to me.
@danielpunkass hot damn
