Mark Wyner Won’t Comply Jul 18, 2025

If you need some joy in your day, this is my gift to you. Jon Batiste is a gem of a human being. He is also massively talented.

In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, Jon talks about the limitations genres put on music. And THEN he genre hops through part of a Beethoven piece on the fly.

It’s so good. And Chris’ face is priceless. He’s almost giddy.

Sorry for the edits, everyone. I know Mastodon sends you a notification when a post is edited. I needed to clean up a misspelling of his name because I’m a jackass. My bad. Please forgive me.

#Colbert picked Jon Batiste for his Late Show band leader and gave him tons praise. Great platform with lots of viewers.

@markwyner no worries! Enjoyed it so much, thanks for sharing. Picked up on the corrections the interviewer made at the end... "...then to see it, hear it, feel it..." The first correction was obvious, the next one was genuine. Great clip!
