Stephen Colbert Announces Official Musical Friend!



http://colbertlateshow.com/news/1004307/stephen-colbert-announces-official-musical-friend-/

“We are thrilled that Jon Batiste is joining The Late Show family of products,” said Host and rare mp3-collector Stephen Colbert. “For my money, nobody plays like Jon Batiste. And you can trust me, because it is my money.”

Batiste is an acclaimed composer and multi-instrumentalist who has mastered piano, melodica, percussion, bass, conversational Spanish and Microsoft Office (except Outlook, which cannot be mastered). He is an active member of the legendary Batiste family of musicians, hailing from cradle of New Orleans Jazz: New Orleans, The Jazz Easy. He is Julliard-trained, street-tested, and honey-baked, to seal in his juices.

Where I also found this:

When the Late Show premieres September 8th, be sure to put on extra socks. Because Jon Batiste is going to blow your pants off, and you can use the extra socks to cover your junk.
