Jon Batiste is a talented musician but what brings that talent to life is his love and passion for goodness. This was an inspiring, beautiful, awesome concert that had everyone rocking and laughing. One of the best concerts I've been to (and there have been many good ones)!
Jon Batiste and his band brought a smile to my face from the moment the y stepped on the stage till their New Orleans-style walk through the crowd! Fantastic show! Cannot wait to see him again!
An absolutely amazing performance! Jon Batiste is the whole artist package: singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and pianist extraordinaire. Massey Hall was buzzing with excitement and full-blown energy! It was an extraordinary experience!
A night to remember with Jon Batiste. Was everything I expected and much more. Did not want the night end. What a great entertainer such talent. Love him!!!!
One of the greatest musical experiences ever!!! Such a talent!! Sharing gifts with the world - band was fantastic. See you soon I hope Must seeeeeee live!!
One of the best performers! Jon Batiste and his band stopped mid-number to get this notoriously sleepy Toronto crowd on their feet with a few inspiring words: "The song is called Freedom and whatever y'all are doing ain't it! This is soul music. Get on your feet! Be free!"I wish we had more room to move at Massey Hall 'cause man did these guys know how to play. I've never been to a show with more audience engagement -- we sang nursery rhymes, witnessed a few members of the audience take to the stage, and to top it all off, Jon and his band came marching through the crowd all the way up to the third floor balcony! An absolute delight of a show. Thank you Jon Batiste and your amazing group of musicians.
Jon Batiste didn’t disappoint his audience! He was energetic, engaged the audience on many occasions and is a real showman! He played some familiar and not so familiar songs that were well varied. He is especially talented playing many instruments and singing in many ranges. We loved the show and would unhesitantly see him again.
Jon, along with his singer and band were fantastic. Energetic, happy, professionals clearly doing what they love really well. It was fun to see two Torontonians get up on stage to strut their stuff with Jon. At the end, Jon and his group wound their way through the main floor crowd and up to the third floor to sing and play among the audience. I hope they enjoyed the experience and are able to get in the middle of the audience everywhere they go. Bravo!
What an entertainer!! I Hope he comes back to Toronto!!!
*i* LIKED it a lot ! [ but my wife did not all that much, i think ] he IS the spirit of NEW ORLEANS.
I like what the Star said: "Jon Batiste was the most talented person in the room."Impossible not to feel good at this show. Backing band got their time as well including incredible back up singer. One of the best shows I've ever seen and my companion said it was the best she had EVER seen!
I loved the show! Lots of energy. Jon Batiste is such a versatile performer, showing why he well deserves the 5 Grammy's he has. He performed all of his most popular songs. He played essentially every instrument on the stage: drums, sax, piano, melodica, etc. etc. One down side was that it was one of the shortest paid concerts I've been to. He came on stage at 8:20 pm. and was already wrapping things up before around 9:45. His last notes was at 10:05 p.m., making the concert less than 2 hours long. Unfortunately, I was sitting in the lower balcony covered by the upper balcony so when he made his way to the upper balcony (which is fabulous!) I was not able to see him so missed out on the last minutes of the show.
Such an amazing show. He is the real deal and pure artist in the best sense. He is a genius and a good soul. A rare gem!
Jon Batiste is a very creative, original performer. Can play any instrument, sing and dance. Music seems to flow effortlessly out of his body. He has deep, innate talent.
That was one of the best concerts that I’ve ever seen and I am 68. He is an exceptional musician with so much positive energy!! I loved every second and send him my thanks for what he brought to the night. I can’t believe that he walked amongst the crowd at the end……MAGIC!!!
We enjoyed Freedom and the single piano pieces but the majority of the show was a Rock Concert. Had to block my ears it was loud and Rockus.
One of the best concerts I've been to in a while. His showman ship was dazzling and his versatility on various instruments was amazing. He has the audience in the palm of his hand. His backup musicians were excellent. All together it was wonderful.
WAW. I have no words to describe how amazing Jon Batiste and the band. The show was SPECTACULAR: the diversity of genres, yet all coherent with the artiste, the energy, the attitude. Everything was top notch.
