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

In this interview from 2023 with Chris Wallace, John 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.

He’s sitting at a piano in what appears to be a small studio setting. Chris is a middle-aged white man with simple glasses. He’s wearing a suit with a bright-red pocket square over a solid-blue dress shirt and a striped tie.
